Back to School and SWIMMING - YOU GOT THIS!!!

 YES - along with educators across the country we have jumped in with full force and are using the saying, "Just Keep Swimming" to stay afloat.  We have had SUCH technical difficulty, we have been unable to load Schoology, upload videos, work smoothly through a Zoom session, YOU. NAME. IT!  BUT, we are keeping ourselves moving, shaking and trouble shooting daily and DOING OUR BEST - JUST LIKE YOU!!!!  Things are TENSE, things are TOUGH, we have kids in school in grades K-8 because of a building project that is behind schedule, NOT because of COVID, and kids in grades 9-12 at home distance learning and NEEDING connections - and we are MAKING IT! JUST LIKE YOU!!!! SO we trudge on - full force with both feet in NOT knowing when we will feel the bottom. We want to see our kids that aren't here, we want to be able to be in person, which we hope we will be in a week, we want COVID to go away - BUT until that happens, we will keep on keeping on!  We will keep leaning on one another for help, guidance and support and WE WILL MAKE IT - and SO WILL YOU!!!

"Just Keep Swimming" and know that you are being thought of- I will do a TRUE update when I actually have some time to "think and write" what's been really happening other than the complete chaos!

It's going to be fine,

Mrs. Inniger:)

Resources Compiled for COVID-19

Here is a PLETHORA of resources that I have been compiling as we are dealing with teaching during COVID-19.  Use what you can - search and seek - I am going to just COPY AND PASTE - so the links might not be active:) Video/Podcast Options: Zoom!: This program allows you to video conference with up to 100 people.  HOWEVER, I feel this one is NOT the best for large groups, BUT, would be awesome to do with one on one or small group work, or recording videos to upload to Schoology.  Create an account and download this to your Macbook here, https://zoom.us/ and the students will have the app. Zoom How To: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-fnwZGctrFlE-Ho8Y5C_v8Hit7KdSnvW Explain Everything App : You can teach just about anything you would want, especially math, with this app.  This app allows you to import pictures, files, etc.. and then voice over it, even drawing if needed, to create a video.  Simply upload to YouTube, share the link and done!!

I LIED!!! I TAKE THE THANK YOU TO APPLE BACK:(!!! UGH!!!

  All went well yesterday after we had done the Apple Configurator update - here were a few that we had to put into recovery mode, etc... which wasn't GREAT- but worked alright.  Students had to put in email address again as well as Schoology, no big deal.  Some lost their camera roll pictures - not the TOTAL end of the world.  But TODAY - 5 kids have LOST EVERYTHING!!! UGH!!  I don't do ANYTHING different with these iPads that I don't do with the others that have worked fine - so WHY?????????????  A senior girl and a freshman boy lost EVERYTHING!  It COMPLETELY WIPED their iPads and reinstalled ALL again - WHY???????????  I want to call Apple but I am TOO MAD to call as I wouldn't be anything tactful at all - so I sit and ponder what it might be - maybe I should use another word than Ponder, I guess they're throwing him back in next week, huh??:):)  I just don't know what to do.  AND the part that gets me the MOST is Apple KNOWS that sc...
