Important finding: post-Covid, parents don’t want more-of-the-same education. They want something different. @LDH_ed the74million.org/article/pit…

A number of points in this podcast land with me: learning is better together; and communities should be in order before opening schools.
“Across the world, no country with infection rates as high as the US, has tried to reopen schools.”

Just got off the phone with our edu Zoom rep. She's been working 18-hour days including Saturdays and Sundays since March 5th.
Dear everyone in the world. Put your contact phone number in your email signature. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Tiktok is the most entertaining thing I've watched on "TV" lately. Altho I swipe past any "like for part 2" ones—too desperate!
Before you tell students not to use fake Zoom backgrounds make sure you understand the reason. Not everyone has a house they want to show. #MaslowBeforeBloom #akedchat
Between meetings I walked past my kid while she's in Zoom math class. She had her phone out, just below the laptop's camera.

Now that you know the basics of using Zoom, here’s a OnePager quickstart for successfully managing a class session: bit.ly/zoom-classroom #aklearns #akedchat
GooseChase scavenger hunts during COVID-19? @christinahum44 and @chelsea_hurst1... Have thoughts about getting students outside with hunts they do individually (or with family), but competing with their class/school? I wonder about safety rules—gloves, masks, distance?

This video shows where cellphones from a Ft. Lauderdale beach dispersed across the US after spring break last week. #hunkerdown
Want to see the true potential impact of ignoring social distancing? Through a partnership with @xmodesocial, we analyzed secondary locations of anonymized mobile devices that were active at a single Ft. Lauderdale beach during spring break. This is where they went across the US:
