Time seems to slip away faster and faster as the years go on. WOW - many changes have taken place for use this year.</p><p>1. We purchased new iPads this year for all students in grades K-12. We went with keyboard cases for the 7-12, and regular slim Dux cases for the K-6. With keyboarding continuing to stay in our curriculum, we thought we needed to make this change, and it really makes things easier with that keyboard right on there. HOWEVER - with that said - comes the challenge of kids actually typing the correct way - more to come on that...We spent six days putting these babies together. Apple sure knows how to package these buggers - two days alone was spent unpacking cases and iPads - YIKES! Needless to say, we made it and hired some amazing kids to help in the process.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TqpaAbp83b1FsdedK2Ii0M0WGF1uLErvgoK1gT2yBmoecI4DzV3HXBojfaI9GyehRFlmkSsthXjbd-Wt0SVky-4dlbHzfH6WjNvXAHE79G-Bk9hrBQJegoR_3x8ocBPqTIGjN07vuFw/s2048/65101119232__65BD084A-286E-40F0-A7CD-EDD14A174993.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9TqpaAbp83b1FsdedK2Ii0M0WGF1uLErvgoK1gT2yBmoecI4DzV3HXBojfaI9GyehRFlmkSsthXjbd-Wt0SVky-4dlbHzfH6WjNvXAHE79G-Bk9hrBQJegoR_3x8ocBPqTIGjN07vuFw/s320/65101119232__65BD084A-286E-40F0-A7CD-EDD14A174993.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDJ7ck91scbJtLmXaM4hJcDbVuVjWIv9NT-03_NoR0FWzFZGVyqr7_wQmqITuw0fYUFdUWFDrZwSvFY0T-KqBqzrksb-7YYNSWXxAcT_pNH2iaZnM6-E8-sLXlxffJEanYejDwBMqxQA/s2048/IMG_0247.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSDJ7ck91scbJtLmXaM4hJcDbVuVjWIv9NT-03_NoR0FWzFZGVyqr7_wQmqITuw0fYUFdUWFDrZwSvFY0T-KqBqzrksb-7YYNSWXxAcT_pNH2iaZnM6-E8-sLXlxffJEanYejDwBMqxQA/s320/IMG_0247.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimXOu7OS2d-5riJmm2uYSfvSGwX3plRPZXtOKgkIf_ahwtr_KpoEChtjZgNdOy6SVyeX7I_EvijeAUfXz3vJDhUfYE4YnM9C-doSaITgeyQ8hWV1Aqmc89lyyXZQ8KLZGi8GDIiNioIdE/s2048/IMG_0249.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimXOu7OS2d-5riJmm2uYSfvSGwX3plRPZXtOKgkIf_ahwtr_KpoEChtjZgNdOy6SVyeX7I_EvijeAUfXz3vJDhUfYE4YnM9C-doSaITgeyQ8hWV1Aqmc89lyyXZQ8KLZGi8GDIiNioIdE/s320/IMG_0249.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBi0LUiP4z3jAlxYSkx7qGy1JZWB0gtDQyRHWlcAdyAVdr9QtxfTIkdmol90JXPWKMpOfBApZblGIhJn9RQggJCr_vAY7Xk0cMdudlXOKRb8zDeDiNeCsL4ABFPYuRfJlWwAAPzH6fatM/s2048/IMG_0334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBi0LUiP4z3jAlxYSkx7qGy1JZWB0gtDQyRHWlcAdyAVdr9QtxfTIkdmol90JXPWKMpOfBApZblGIhJn9RQggJCr_vAY7Xk0cMdudlXOKRb8zDeDiNeCsL4ABFPYuRfJlWwAAPzH6fatM/s320/IMG_0334.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p>2. We changed our JAMF management system to JAMF Schools. There was SO much in the old JAMF Business that we didn't need, so we saved some money and jumped to the school side. This has been a challenge for me a bit at times, as I was so used to the way the other system ran, but I am getting used to it. All the things we really need are here, and it is more cost efficient for us as a school. </p><p>3. All iPads are insured through Apple Care. Families paid the $49 fee, which covers two breaks a year for three years, and we are glad we did. We no longer have to take iPads to be fixed. I call Apple, they send me boxes, I mail the broken ones, they send me new ones - that simple! This makes my life so much easier - I am happy:)!</p><p>4. New building - new things coming - There are SO many things that I will post in the coming months as our new school is starting to be in the "finalized" stages. Next week we should be moving into the new office space with new systems and set ups. Our new commons area will have interactive touch televisions and monitors up for announcements, etc.. The band and choir areas are supposed to be complete by the second week in December, and after the first of the year our new Performing Arts Center, Gymnasium, and Fitness Center will be complete. Once these areas are done, I will upload photos so people can see them. </p><p>Take care friends - I will be better from now on trying to post weekly as we have some pretty cool things going on here - be well!</p><p>Mrs. I:)</p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-10653094045413564872021-05-04T11:51:00.002-07:002021-05-04T11:54:56.453-07:00A Few New Websites<p> I think I have mentioned before that I meet about every six weeks with the technology integration group from around the area. We talk specifically about things that are happening and going on in our districts, and any new and latest trends and things in the educational setting. Before we leave for the day, we share any new websites, apps, or techy things that we have learned about since we last met. The following list shows websites that I have never seen, and they might be good ones for you to pursue a little more:</p><p>1. <a href="https://www.remove.bg/">removebg</a> - This is simply a website that lets you upload photos and remove backgrounds. This has been extremely helpful in so many ways. Cropping isn't enough sometimes, so the ability to remove all is awesome.</p><p>2. <a href="https://scorecounter.com/">Score counter</a> - If you have ever needed a score board, timer, etc.. for keeping track of teams or anything, this site might be for you. It's very easy to use and simple.</p><p>3. <a href="https://earthengine.google.com/timelapse/">Google Earth Timelapse</a> - THIS IS AWESOME!! Google earth has created time lapses for areas over the last 37 years. You can click the ones on the left, or search for an area you would like to see the time lapse for. SO COOL!!!</p><p>4. <a href="https://www.chrmbook.com/blog/?ck_subscriber_id=54228367">Chromebook Classroom</a> - Those of you that have Chromebooks will find this blog helpful. Tips, tricks, ideas and more can be found here. </p><p>5. <a href="https://buzzin.live/">BuzzIn Live</a> - During the pandemic this online buzzer system was used for Knowledge Bowl around the area. Definitely worth looking into if you are in need of this - super user friendly.</p><p>We are in the process of collecting all things iPads, chargers, etc.. as the year comes to an end. We are actually done May 14 this year, and will be turning in our iPads for new ones in the fall. It's always a bittersweet ending, but we are all in need of a major break after this year.</p><p>Take care all - stay safe, hang in there, and I hope to update one more time next week.</p><p>Mrs. I:)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-67737876664946926972021-03-11T11:17:00.003-08:002021-03-11T11:18:11.599-08:00New OLD Websites<p> Today I have been spending my afternoon looking into Desmos. <a href="https://teacher.desmos.com/">Desmos</a> is a site that hosts a math curriculum for grades 6-8. There are MANY free components, and I have been looking at it to possibly use as a supplement for some of the things are math teachers are having a hard time "writing." When they try and create things, writing in math is super tough, and Desmos might have some things to offer us. </p><p>Well, as I was searching - I came across CK-12 and Khan again. These sites are not new to us, but WOW WOW WOW! It has been a while since I have been on them and they are outstanding!!</p><p><a href="https://www.ck12.org/teacher/">CK-12</a>: When I first used CK-12, it was for content that I used to create iBooks. All of their materials are free use, and always has been, but the things they are doing and creating now is so much more than just science, social studies and math. It is UNREAL - take a look!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6ME59ubTPgLVf8IiItZEkdv7Lpmop-grbkjxEmX_7yWgXKxc2Oew_pI3nf9qR20neFd4yIxt-p0c12-R4h26FcImhc1XsOlHq2dbwcdCl-HrhJt_wffGG4hnjmCmf870RBYLUQKTPDc/s1160/Screen+Shot+2021-03-11+at+1.16.38+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="1160" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6ME59ubTPgLVf8IiItZEkdv7Lpmop-grbkjxEmX_7yWgXKxc2Oew_pI3nf9qR20neFd4yIxt-p0c12-R4h26FcImhc1XsOlHq2dbwcdCl-HrhJt_wffGG4hnjmCmf870RBYLUQKTPDc/w640-h320/Screen+Shot+2021-03-11+at+1.16.38+PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><p><a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/">Khan Academy</a>: This is also a site that is not new to any educators.

Whether it's distance learning, 1:1 devices, whatever the case, we always end with tech share. Here were some of the ideas that were shared that I hadn't known about:</p><p>1. <a href="https://www.blooket.com/">Blooket </a>- this is very similar to <a href="https://quizizz.com/">Quizizz</a> or <a href="https://kahoot.com/">Kahoot</a> in where you create a question set for students to join the game and then answer. The neat thing, however, is there are different options for the games you play. A teacher here uses it quite a bit, and she mentioned it took a little while to get used to, but her kids love it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Q-w0o1WpcMmpUgBzDBSVBXlrE9eu3VmJlmzGIxfZE6OUsH1G3jn35ZNRNjPzIQXtAWXzzsEfEtjeqMd1N8ztFHgb6hxySbE1N85U3Y7TZREhnSM0azpq9PWM7Av7HlCBvGX0413WCCI/s1264/Screen+Shot+2021-02-22+at+6.55.54+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="581" data-original-width="1264" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Q-w0o1WpcMmpUgBzDBSVBXlrE9eu3VmJlmzGIxfZE6OUsH1G3jn35ZNRNjPzIQXtAWXzzsEfEtjeqMd1N8ztFHgb6hxySbE1N85U3Y7TZREhnSM0azpq9PWM7Av7HlCBvGX0413WCCI/w400-h184/Screen+Shot+2021-02-22+at+6.55.54+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div><p>2. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTZCMg0Z-_E5i_R1DQQArnAkuzyy9_sy7d5RXJmdhXJMtE1CjSAQUNLXfvmMFo6fpOlvUzwK7tb11jF/pubhtml">Tech Tools Resource</a> - Exactly as it sounds.

He focused on bears, as his third graders have been learning about different kinds. He spent about an hour on this, as in addition to the lesson, there was also a question and answer part at the end. He said it was definitely worth the experience.

Our elementary school is all in person as of now. They have had very few cases, and the ones they have had have included quarantining, or staff members either testing positive of being exposed to someone who was positive for Covid. At the high school, we have continued with Hybrid learning, bringing half the students in each day. This has saved us from having to quarantine students because of exposure, as classes are able to keep the six feet apart rule. I don't see us changing anytime in the near future. I know initially the hope was to be back full in person, but if we did that, they would be contact tracing daily, which would only send more kids back home to quarantine, so for now this is our answer.</p><p>Our staff members are AMAZING! The things that they are doing, and the ways that they are having to teach is something I will never witness again. They are full time teaching, full time Zooming, full time distance here at the high school - it's unreal! The stress, pressures, anxiety levels, I could go on and on. Our elementary staff is making videos every Friday for our distance learning teachers have the materials and things they need to help the full time distance students. To see this year come to an end will be so good for so many. However, in the meantime, they sure are stellar individuals doing everything they can to help students learn and be successful. </p><p>Governor Waltz also opened up athletics again for us in Minnesota, and that is needed!! I know individuals have questioned why we can have sports, but not all in person school. What they are FORGETTING about is the controlled environment in which sports can take place. What they aren't thinking about is that mere number of students participating vs the number of students that would be back in our building if we went full time. What they are forgetting about is the mental state of our students, and the need for this connection. Again, I could go on FOREVER about this one. I am just happy that kids will get an opportunity again to play - whether it's sports, theater, band/choir, etc.. something for them, and in a safe way! Hopefully more and more things will be able to happen for all of our kids!</p><p>So we will continue on. We will be better at our jobs! We will be better people! We will have more empathy and compassion. We will make it through. Because that's what we do.

I hope you have been battling through and hanging in there with teaching the way it is now! REMEMBER - YOU MATTER - and the impact you are having is still as strong as ever! KEEP THAT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND:)!!</p><p>I am not sure if you have seen the website <a href="https://wheelofnames.com/">Wheel of Names</a>, but if you haven't CHECK IT OUT:)!! My fellow bookstagrammer and I use it all the time for random name picks, giveaways, etc.. BUT recently, one of our Kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Willers, asked if I would created "spinners" for her of their sight words. BRILLIANT:)!!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHEWh1tjC_Y6z7yaG1FNthKVDsiwQc7jcxCA7jc7F3BdcwV7yGach8VkZJ_b-8Cw_Ixe5oKSPmqLEj_fe18C8dTHnb0rPxerFoigBiB0qvC2wivjmF_WqIL-tjfda8nwyRTBY3s5TsCzo/s1349/Screen+Shot+2020-11-16+at+9.50.56+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="663" data-original-width="1349" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHEWh1tjC_Y6z7yaG1FNthKVDsiwQc7jcxCA7jc7F3BdcwV7yGach8VkZJ_b-8Cw_Ixe5oKSPmqLEj_fe18C8dTHnb0rPxerFoigBiB0qvC2wivjmF_WqIL-tjfda8nwyRTBY3s5TsCzo/w588-h289/Screen+Shot+2020-11-16+at+9.50.56+AM.png" width="588" /></a></div><br /><p>Basically, I made two spinners with eight words on each one; one spinner has the words lower case, the other spinner has the first word capitalized. I did this for each list that they have (currently I have made 10 of the 30). The kids can then use these for practicing their sight words:)!!</p><p>It's SO easy to use! You just type in, or copy and paste, the list of words that you want and then the spinner is automatically created! You can then "share" this link for the words for kids to spin on their own. What a great way to practice sight words, and a little different than the traditionally word rings that are usually send home OR in addition to the rings;)!</p><p>You can click <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zgmtO7_f1RwF-mTeFTmOwGj575ZotXRjYKu4BZ0eV_g/edit?usp=sharing">HERE</a> to see the lists and what exactly Mrs. Willers had me do - SO FUN!!</p><p>Take care all - remember how special you are and the impact you're making even though it feels otherwise - the kids NEED us now more than ever - and YOU need to take care of yourself as well - our mental health is so very important!<br /><br />Happy Monday -</p><p>Mrs. I:)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-86256050931879013822020-10-12T15:23:00.002-07:002020-10-12T15:26:04.276-07:00Fall Conferences - What to Do?<p> Currently, we are still in person in Barnesville. However, we are limiting the number of people that actually come into the building. So with conferences this fall, we decided to go with virtual conferences through Zoom, and used <a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/">Sign Up Genius</a> to schedule them. This is a SUPER easy way for teachers (I actually created all of them) to create a "sign up" with time slots, and then parents can choose which time they want to have a virtual conference. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBkKOxTymwcBkgzK7OiraMcB4f7_PvQEjp4FpuqdNPDhAF_QFvRGyfY5D2AI2iGIcyD9K39glfskbxxUBAkDzpGCKmIEI3_go79mDACuTjqNVRfnVzo5nka0f64DcVhcr3zxVcMvWKYI/s1231/Screen+Shot+2020-10-12+at+5.16.32+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="619" data-original-width="1231" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCBkKOxTymwcBkgzK7OiraMcB4f7_PvQEjp4FpuqdNPDhAF_QFvRGyfY5D2AI2iGIcyD9K39glfskbxxUBAkDzpGCKmIEI3_go79mDACuTjqNVRfnVzo5nka0f64DcVhcr3zxVcMvWKYI/w434-h218/Screen+Shot+2020-10-12+at+5.16.32+PM.png" width="434" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_mJ56D0ZwDe7UuUNlRxPiNA_WV4Sw7wpz3hBM91KJOZPXj9GTCUt7zfOntfcyDSTgXmQ3gLk54Y2leKNEZ3YDAfLbtc3exckxZDjdnNlSvpXeiqSKY7oHONIKo0wb74ducntoCtgFRE/s900/Screen+Shot+2020-10-12+at+5.14.02+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="900" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3_mJ56D0ZwDe7UuUNlRxPiNA_WV4Sw7wpz3hBM91KJOZPXj9GTCUt7zfOntfcyDSTgXmQ3gLk54Y2leKNEZ3YDAfLbtc3exckxZDjdnNlSvpXeiqSKY7oHONIKo0wb74ducntoCtgFRE/w437-h261/Screen+Shot+2020-10-12+at+5.14.02+PM.png" width="437" /></a></div><p>We created a shared Google Doc that we posted on our school website and Facebook pages so parents could find each individual teacher's sign up.

NOW, I know I am being a little "up beat," but we are through ONE MONTH of this tough, tough situation! Things have been HARD! Things have been FRUSTRATING! Things have been STRESSFUL! BUT - YOU HAVE MADE IT ONE MONTH!!! Taking ONE day at at time, CONTROLLING what you can, and DOING YOUR BEST - that is all we can do:)!!! I AM PROUD OF YOU!!!</p><p>With that said, here are things that are happening here, how out life looks right now in Barnesville, MN, and what we have in place for the year:</p><p>*Currently we are IN PERSON at both the elementary level! The state of Minnesota has five plans in place according to cases per 10,000 population. Technically, we should be distance because of the numbers in Clay County, but we are not Moorhead, which shares a border with Fargo, so they are allowing us to stay in person for now! FINGERS CROSSED! We have had a few cases, and students and staff quarantining because of this, but it's manageable for now!</p><p>*Staff members are using Zoom, Screencastify, Google Education, Schoology, Notability app, Educreations app, and Apple TVs and Smarboards to deliver content. Some are recording directly in Zoom as they are teaching, others are creating videos to upload using Educreations of Screencastify. Whatever they are most comfortable with is what they use. Some have been videoing everything and uploading for use later if students are sick, or for review, others aren't - again, personal preference. </p><p>*Fridays are our check in days - so from 8:30-11:00am teachers meet with each hour of the day at the high school, and classrooms at the elementary, to have closure for the week, teach a shorter lesson, or just check in on students and see how they are doing - THIS IS IMPORTANT!! Friday afternoons are spent troubleshooting items, creating videos, collaborating, and having meetings and discussions regarding distance learning and this crazy world we live in right now!</p><p>*Activities are currently taking place in Barnesville. The fall musical is having rehearsals, football and volleyball for grades 7-12 are currently practicing and playing games. The state of MN allows football to have spectators for games - we are allowed 250 total - 150 or home and 100 for away is what we are doing - and volleyball is being live streamed since we can't have spectators for them. That's going to be HARD for parents of volleyball players indeed, but they are able to play and be together, which again is helping them overall! This can change at any moment of course, so we are taking advantage of it right now which our kids can have SOME sort of normalcy!</p><p>We are adjusting as needed, JUST like everyone else - we have a lot going on that we can't control - so we are trying to let that go and control what we CAN!</p><p>Have a great week everyone</p><p>Mrs. I:)</p><p><br /></p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-5004430475153970462020-09-30T09:28:00.001-07:002020-09-30T09:28:05.739-07:00Making Things Work<p> I am sure every educator right now is experiencing the same things; stress, anxiety and unknown circumstances day to day. We are right there with you! Currently we have 30ish students out for quarantine, and six staff members. Everyone is having to step us and assume roles that are not normal for us. For example, I am subbing in a social studies classroom while resuming the duties that I have as a technology coordinator. Although I am stressed out, I do not feel the "wrath" that teachers are feeling. Our teachers here are having to do the following:</p><p>1. Teach BOTH virtually and online students as they didn't hire distance learning teachers at the high school like they did at the elementary, so at least that stress is OFF the backs of the elementary teachers.</p><p>2. Teachers are spending double the time planning for upcoming days - they are having to make videos for upload, are video taping their lessons if students are "gone," and having to plan for subs that might or might not be in place.</p><p>3. The material being covered isn't going to be as much as it has been in the past - this is reality! There is no way that you can check on all your kids in class, check in on your students at home, and then try to keep moving along knowing students may or may not be getting the content being taught.</p><p>4. Managing "other" activities is a challenge as well. Like many smaller districts, we have many teachers that are also advisors or coaches, so this is a challenge, too. Minnesota JUST reinstated fall sports, with a shorter season and limited spectators (volleyball can have no spectators). Although this is super awesome is the respect of creating some "normal" for the kids, all of this creates a brand new set of anxieties and stress for players and coaches. Their parents won't be there to "watch" games, and coaches are having to make adjustments and decisions they wouldn't normally have to make because of the guidelines.</p><p>5. 8th hours have changed for us. In normal life, we have a 35 minutes 8th hour where students can go and take tests missed, get additional help if needed, etc.. however, students can not leave the 8th hour homeroom, which prevents them from getting additional help they may need, or meetings that are typically held then can't be now - again an entire new way of trying to make things work!</p><p>NOW - let's be read - WE ARE EDUCATORS - and WE WILL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO! We always do! It's not easy, it's not convenient, it's stressful and it's frustrating. BUT WE ARE DOING IT, and SO ARE YOU!!! I just continue to encourage you! KNOW that you are rocking it, and will continue to do so because that's what we do!</p><p>Take care friends - YOU CAN DO THIS - WE ARE WITH YOU,</p><p>Mrs. I:)</p><p><br /></p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-51792807315609176662020-09-14T11:10:00.002-07:002020-09-14T11:10:20.970-07:00Back to School and SWIMMING - YOU GOT THIS!!!<p> 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!!!</p><p>"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!</p><p>It's going to be fine,</p><p>Mrs. Inniger:) </p>Holly Innigerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11503755299271920059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512940373222620570.post-9653478898288470882020-04-23T08:17:00.001-07:002020-04-23T08:17:12.186-07:00Teach From Home Hub from Google - THANK YOU!!Google does is AGAIN - and there are NO surprises from me! I have been NOTHING but impressed with them FROM. THE. START. Here they are once again, compiling all info, best resources, etc.. for teachers in a time when it's needed! Go to the <a href="https://teachfromhome.google/intl/en/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=PaidSocial&utm_campaign=2020Q2-NA-US-TfH-1008404-PaidMedia&dclid=CNLtsq3o_ugCFUKwTwodW_IFZQ">Teach from Home page</a> and see what I am talking about. If you are USED to Google, there probably isn't a TON that you are going to learn as you probably know most of this, BUT if you are NEW to Google, GO CHECK IT OUT NOT!!!<br />

I just can't even - the support, help, and love that we are showing to others is ENDLESS and NEEDS TO KEEP GOING! We are in this for the LONG HAUL! Minnesota is supposed to close today, per Governor Walz at 2:00pm! I am sure we will still be doing distance learning, but we don't know all the details, so I will be tuning in at 2:00pm!!<br />
<br />
TAKE CARE everyone - STAY SAFE - KNOW you are doing the BEST you can with the BEST things you have - remember this - and be GENTLE with your souls and show GRACE:)!!<br /><br />
Love from Minnesota,<br />
Mrs. I:)<br />

Mrs. Grabow, a kindergarten teacher, shared the two links below for changing YouTube links into "safe" links:<br />

1.<a href="https://safeyoutube.net/"> Safe YouTube:</a> This website allows you to paste the URL of your YouTube video and creates a link that removes advertisements and comments that students don't need to see.<br />

SO I created two videos on how to do Anchor podcasting and Zoom. I will also be adding Zoom from the iPad and other things as needed!<br />

Today I spent all day thus far training staff on the Explain Everything app. THIS BEAUTY allows you to create videos that explain whatever concept you are teaching. You can put in videos, photos, audio, connect it to your Google Drive, etc.. and then record, save and upload. IT IS AWESOME! The three that we will do tomorrow are screen recording, using the Quicktime screen record option on the Macbook, Zoom! which is a video conferencing website/app perfect for small group or one on one instruction, and the Anchor website. <br />
<br />
I JUST posted this onto the Teaching During COVID-19 Facebook page, and it's SUPER simple:<br />
<br />
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; direction: ltr; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Here is what we have talked to our staff about here in MN and I will CONTINUE TO ENFORCE THIS!!!</div>
<ol class="_5a_q _509r" dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; counter-reset: list 0; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 12px; padding: 6px 0px 0px;">
<li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="clear: both; direction: ltr; line-height: 18px; list-style-type: none; margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 3px; position: relative; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This is NOT eLearning. You CAN NOT give kids packets and packets of work each day - THINK as a teacher what is MOST IMPORTANT for your kids to learn and focus on that!! These kids are babysitting and without parents, at daycares, etc... do NOT put that burden on them daily!</li>
<li class="_2cuy _509s _2vxa" style="clear: both; direction: ltr; line-height: 18px; list-style-type: none; margin-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 3px; position: relative; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">BE INTENTIONAL!!! What is the specific goal and task you want your kids to KNOW and think of that - can th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ey do 5 problems instead of 30 for math - can they record themselves doing them and then they're good?</span></li>

I wanted to share some of the science sites that I either came across, or others shared with me that we are going to be using and I really like them, too:)!<br />
<br />
1. <a href="https://www.ck12.org/student/">CK12 </a>- This one is NOT new to use - BUT I FORGOT ABOUT IT!!! Their have open source and FREE, yes FREE, materials for use, adaptation and change. There is SO much great information here not just on Science - give it a shot.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://www.rozzylearningcompany.com/programs/science-program/">Rozzy </a>- Science is infused in the real world with Rozzy. There are lesson plans, videos, magazine, writing extensions, you name it. AND at only $99/year per teacher, this one is a gem. Again, not only for Science, but STEAM and Social Studies as well. <br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://www.generationgenius.com/">Generation Genius</a> - I would definitely say that this website is geared for K-4, anything after that, even though it says 6-8 on there, I would stay away from the videos for sure. However, at $795 a year for a school, it's one that is worth checking into and might have some great merit to it.<br />
<br />
4. <a href="https://www.howstuffworks.com/">How Stuff Works</a> - I LOVE THIS ONE!! "Easy to understand answers and explanations of how things work in the world" is what their website says, and I agree. They have beautiful graphics, videos and great information on a TON of science related fields. You will enjoy this one!!<br />
<br />
5. <a href="http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/experiments.html">Science Kids</a> - Although this site doesn't have EVERYTHING you would need, it DOES offer some really great experiments and lesson ideas for a variety of science related topic and themes.<br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/">NOVA</a> - PBS and NOVA education have this site that is great. Again, a ton of great videos to explain how and why things happen in our world. There are a variety of topics and even have a specific education area. <br />
<br />
That's it for today - check some of these out - it will be worth your time!<br />
Happy Tuesday all,<br />

Yesterday was an eLearning day for us, so our students were at "home" for the school day because of the weather, but since we're a 1:1 district, we can still "hold" school via our iPads, online resources, and packets and information sent home prior to make the day successful. While at home yesterday, a parent was working with a 6th grade student on the periodic table of elements and came across <a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/502751/illustrated-periodic-table-shows-how-we-regularly-interact-each-element?fbclid=IwAR2_V7JKtASYqcG62Q6C9g2KQJMFRYD25dmRWGdx2S42206u2fXh8MmG-io">THIS website</a> - IT IS A GEM!!!! It shows how we would regularly interact with each of the elements in "real life," helping students better understand what each one it:)!<br />

Or are you yourself a lover of all things books?Anna, an English teacher here, and myself started a book club in Barnesville. We have around 15-20 kids that come and they LOVE TO READ! They aren't the only ones, so here are some websites that we use, have used, LOVE to use, regarding good books, ratings of books, book lists, etc..<br />
<br />
1. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/">GoodReads </a>- THIS. IS. A. GEM!!! I love absolutely everything about GoodReads!! Once you create an account, you simply put in books you've read, books you want to read, and books you currently are reading. You can rate and write reviews from past books, and follow friends and other individuals to see what they are reading and how they rated particular books. They also have a ton of lists is this is your thing - Best books of 2019, Best Thriller books, etc... I LOVE IT!!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e94xM950ojmw-B22oN3BoFZ1sDdo_eQBy9Y-9OhVJy6u7YhCcc4DJaCYo8qPSX-8-K4GJQXmzQqaI2X2kevFwHw2P9OF-CwACR_fTSWe1SFMjxsr65LNPuEv-M41raPONj4KMui8Jc8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2020-02-05+at+9.19.28+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="752" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e94xM950ojmw-B22oN3BoFZ1sDdo_eQBy9Y-9OhVJy6u7YhCcc4DJaCYo8qPSX-8-K4GJQXmzQqaI2X2kevFwHw2P9OF-CwACR_fTSWe1SFMjxsr65LNPuEv-M41raPONj4KMui8Jc8/s640/Screen+Shot+2020-02-05+at+9.19.28+AM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. <a href="https://www.bookbub.com/launch">BookBub</a> - I LOVE BookBub. You have to create an account and answer questions about your "type" of reading preferences, and then you'll get an email everyday from them with recommended books to read and buy at a very low cost. They are kind of a Half Price Books type of website if you can imagine that. I love the recommendations they give as well as the daily emails.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. <a href="https://www.netgalley.com/">NetGalley</a> - This website is a place where you can "read, review and recommend" advanced reading copies of books. It's really a dream!!:) Once you create an account, you can go and search books that aren't published yet, request them, and then once they accept you (and they won't always, so don't be offended), you simply read the book and leave feedback. It is lovely, and an easy way to get books sent to your kindle or Smartphone for viewing.<br />
<br />

<br />
4. <a href="https://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/">What Should I Read Next</a> - This is a simple website where you type in the name of the book that you read, or one that you loved, and they will give you suggestions for other books that are similar. An EASY way to get kids jumping into other authors, genres or series.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. <a href="https://www.epicreads.com/">Epic Reads</a> - Another simple website that shares books that are trending, top books for the year, and lists and lists. I love this one as it also gives suggestions for blogs to read and follow, has a spotlight section, and also have books for cheap available for purchase!<br />
<br />

The concept is simple, yet I can see how this would be quite effective, especially for your kids that like competition and races. Those that are little slower with facts, NO PROBLEM, as they have time to answer the questions and feel successful. <br />
<br />

<br />
Students can decide whether they want addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, set the families they want to work on and just click start. <br />
<br />
This might be a good one to use as a "new" and "fun" site for basic facts as I know that this concept can be redundant and boring for kids at times. This also work on the iPad, so no problem with flash and the website NOT working!!<br />
<br />
Have fun - Happy Tuesday all,<br />

It's VERY similar to both <a href="https://kahoot.com/">Kahoot!</a> and <a href="https://quizizz.com/">Quizizz </a>in the fact that you create question sets and then students are given choices and answer them on their device. HOWEVER, <a href="https://www.gimkit.com/">Gimkit </a>allows them to earn money, which they can then spend on a question they may not know, help them jump spots on the leaderboard, etc... and you can also just give them the code to enter and start the game.<br />

I KNOW - you're thinking, "ANOTHER APP THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE QUESTIONS FOR, IT'S THE SAME THING HOLLY." AND, I would say, "You are correct. HOWEVER, it's something new as they have been using Kahoot and Quizizz FOREVER here, so sometimes it's just a matter of changing it up a bit, and this would allow that for you!<br />
<br />
<br />
GOOD LUCK - give it a shot - YOU are probably tires of some of those others as well<br />
Happy rest of the week,<br />

Not only are they a "sounding" board for me, as they have the same frustrations I have, they are such gal darn amazing people that I ENJOY THEM IMMENSELY!!!! Each time we meet, we go around and talk about the what's happenings in each district to get a feel for things. Sometimes it's curriculum, like in our case, sometimes it's departmentalizing at grades we NEVER thought imaginable (1st and 2nd), and sometimes it's just "Hey, we're going to try and do this, how can we help?" kinds of things. We ALWAYS end the session with anything neat and new that we have discovered or have been using which might help others.<br />
<br />
Here is what was shared and rediscovered:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.randomtriviagenerator.com/">Random Trivia Generator </a>- THIS ONE IS NEAT - THANKS D!!! This is really just a site that has trivia on it - random at that. Choose a category, and then click on the question to reveal the answer - that simple!!<br />

On a SUPER FUNNY note - we did Turkey Bingo today at Barnesville High School. Teachers have BINGO cards, and the last four minutes of each hour the entire school played BINGO. If a student BINGOed, they had to run to the office gobbling and walking like a turkey - here's a visual for you:)!<br />

I LOVE IT! He talks about 6th grade, has guests on the show, and basically has created a podcast newsletter for parents. I inquired about it and he uses <a href="https://anchor.fm/">Anchor</a>. TALK. ABOUT. EASY!!! You basically create an account and fire away!!! INSTANT PODCAST! You have to also ask Apple, Spotify, Google, etc... to add them to their list of podcasts, which takes around 48 hours, but then you are GOOD. TO. GO! What a great way to use technology in your classroom. Students, parents, and other interested peeps like myself - GO SEEK HIM OUT!!!<br />

If you have been interested in possibly starting one DO IT!!! It's super easy with this website/app, and you will love doing it. You MIGHT need a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XCKGLTP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">microphone,</a> as this is one I purchase for a podcast that I am currently doing with a teacher friend, but give it a shot!<br />

What she is doing is AWESOME!!! Here is her explanation:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I needed something interesting and different for their nonfiction unit that covered a lot of standards. It also had to be something that could introduce their big research paper project. It was a way to improve listening skills while talking about primary and secondary sources, credibility, and evidence. It also addresses critical reading skills. and incorporates technology. Standards also state that we need to present texts in different mediums, so this addressed that as well. I attached the parent letter I sent at the beginning of the year."</span></span><br />

Now, I don't mean just "map" out, I mean really dig into curriculum and find what loopholes they have and be INTENTIONAL about covering those standards. <br />
<br />
I came across this website that seems pretty amazing when trying to find lessons that might be for those more difficult standards that maybe aren't covered as strongly as others!<br />
