Michelle, thank you for showing that at home teaching can be manageable, and the tech piece is huge. But I particularly appreciate your explicit statement the teachers are the resource not the technology. And I do have to say that I’m a bit blown away by what you’ve been able to accomplish recently in terms of your teaching your business grad school and maintaining what appears to be social emotional and physical health! And Yep I do think we’re all going to come out of this a little bit more text savvy LOL

Love all your videos! They are so, so helpful! I spent at least two hours watching this video, because I kept stopping and trying out everything you were suggesting, lol! You have been such a blessing during this time when many of us are just trying to figure out all this new technology, so thank you a million times!

I've been an online adjunct professor for close to 8 years. It is exhausting (and I only teach one or two classes at the max each semester). You suddenly become a coach for those students who have never taken online classes before, and mine are college level. I cannot imagine doing this with elementary aged students.

I am just so grateful to you for sharing all of your content. It has truly kept me going positively these past few years. It is very likely I will retire before the next school year and I'm really going to miss being able to implement all the things I learn from you. Just wanted to share with you how impactful you have been to me and thank you!

Furthermore, I think so many of your suggestions are applicable to anyone working from home. You have become my "virtual life coach" in this digital world. Thank you!

You are definitely right about us being more tech savvy after this. As a PE teacher, I was very concerned about online learning.

My students get their assignments in two week blocks instead of daily. It's nice, because it allows them to set their own pacing. We send home a pacing guide with suggestions for what they should be do each day. My students love this set up, because it reaches so many different learning styles and schedules. We have a lot of kids who don't have internet so this works for them.

This is a great video! Love the format and that you show what you ate and walking too. I’m not a teacher, but I’m homeschooling my 10 year old daughter during this time of quarantine. I help her do her assignments in google classroom from her school and I’m also teaching her stuff like Spanish, cursive, spelling hard words, Roman numerals, Bible etc. just stuff that she doesn’t get to learn in school or not much. My daughter is loving it and is doing amazing. I’m teaching her geography and in a few days she learned where all 50 states are located in the USA map and ALL their capitals too. I give her quizzes here and there.... I’m loving homeschooling too 😊

Let me tell you my mind has been completely blown with in the first 12 mins. We were assigned this back in April, but i got so caught up in my classrooms and side projects for school that im just making up the work now. I feel like such an idiot because you tips would of cut my daily work load down by like 2 to 3 hours! You also some great ideas for games to help keep the students engaged, because we all know how distracting it can be working from home where all their fav toys, games, and tech stuff is. Great job on these videos, I'm sure you have helped out many teachers, paras, and other educational staff members!

Hi, on google keep you can slide check boxes across to create actual different sections, it divides them up easily, if you have completed your "master" task but haven't checked of the boxes below it you can just tick of the section divider and it ticks of all the others under that section. I dont know if that makes sense, sorry if it doesnt. Basically just try swipe a task to the right and see

A very insightfull episode, as one working from I can also relate to being outside, just walking or running is a good refreshing activity to do after a day sitting in front of your computer. So far over here, apart from the social aspect, Covid 19 hasn't been too bad. A month ago I wouldn't even dream of running a mile and now I'm on the way to reaching the 10th mile in my training for the 10 miles Antwerp, thanks to the better air and almost no traffic. Also somehow (maybe thanks to the training and self-esteem boost) had the courage to confess to my crush and as a result we are in now in a happy relationship.
