The @YCSD IICs are proud to share the following resource for all of our teachers during this challenging time. https://t.co/g4m8mBWWuT

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts and ideas! #ycsdchat

Please "reach out" to Facetime w/people you know who might be alone during this time--elderly especially. My kids are planning a musical concert for their elderly relatives before our next Facetime meeting, and we go for a walk (distanced) with a neighbor who is alone. #ycsdchat

A5: @Headspace app is free to educators. https://t.co/VMalfo5t8Q
And I have never needed meditation in my life as much as now. My nine-year-old son and I do it together almost every day. #YCSDchat

A5: "Be kinder than necessary. Everyone is finghting some kind of battle." #YCSDchat

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

A4. I know that a lot of people are on edge due to the changes to their daily lives and uncertainty. I know that taking hugging my family helps. #ycsdchat
As for tech, I find @Headspace helps with the mediation I find that I need right now. My kids are getting into it too.

A3: I am just now using the phone features of Remind, and I'd like to give a shout out to @junemariejones
who helped me realize that my account was not working correctl& that I had to contact helpdesk. All is well now, and the Remind phone feature is a worthwhile tool! #ycsdchat

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

Q2. What also helps me stay organized is planning my children's schedules with them in advance (Khan, piano, Scout-badges work, reading, Duolingo, outside time, etc.) so they know what is expected during my work hours and then they need fewer quick questions answered. #ycsdchat

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

Q2: Seriously, my good old fashioned paper and pencil 'To Do' list sitting right beside my computer has helped me stay organized. I have created several new folders in my inbox too. ;) #ycsdchat

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

Great tool BTW!

[Will Bennett @willbennettva]

A1: It seems that I am getting asked a lot of questions from teachers about Teams.

A1: I have had quite a few teachers who quickly implemented the new Remind phone features and have found that to be an excellent tool. #ycsdchat

[Education Week @educationweek]

A new report found that roughly a third of middle and high schools reported disciplinary problems stemming from #cyberbullying at least once a week or daily. That's an uptick compared to the 2017-18 and 2015-16 school years. https://t.co/u65D6EJ4j1
