Organization

How are you staying organized during this time at home?

I have been trying to do a few things to keep my digital school life organized.

1. I have created a folder of documents that I need to print when we return to school. I have been participating in webinars, and generally, they have a certificate of completion. I have been collecting the .pdfs in a folder to print when I get back.

2. I use Google Keep to organize articles, websites, and .pdfs that I want to keep for later.

Maybe one of these quick tips will help you stay organized.

Field Trips

"Field trip out of the question? Think again. Thanks to technology, it’s now possible for kids to visit all kinds of places from the comfort of their classroom (or home!). We’ve compiled a list of the best virtual field trips for you, so enjoy your “visit”!"

Most of the trips are for younger students. However, there a some that may interest you. I think that the 360 cities and Son Doong cave are both interesting for high school students. You and your students may enjoy traveling and exploring.

Audible

A few weeks ago, I posted the free version of Audible, and they have updated the available books. The update includes Harry Potter. This may not interest you, but it may be something you want to pass on.
