Loom allows for screen recording and is a good tool for educators and administrators especially during the pandemic. Our school administrators use this to record assemblies, announcements, PD videos etc. I use this to film asynchronous work for home instruction as well as presentations for the committees I'm apart of and videos to communicate with parents/ students (i.e. a Back to school night presentation for parents who couldn't attend). This tool was also heavily utilized last year for teachers placed in quarantine to continue lessons through google classroom to their class populations during hybrid learning.

These websites serve similar purposes so for assignment's sake I will be grouping them together. This tool is used more so by educators than administrators but has been an important tool. These websites help create interactive learning in a lesson through many ways- collaborative walls, games to enhance learning, student self-pacing etc. The one benefit of Pear deck is that you are better able to monitor student progress on the site, but I personally prefer nearpod. Administrators used this as a tool to deliver PD's/ meetings in a more active-learning sense.

I don't know what a majority of districts would do without google apps. Me personally, I've used them at every district I've worked at as an educator or freelance curriculum worker. Google classroom is a way to not only have students abut to see work/ send work but also it gives their parents/ guardians access. Google meet is one of primary video call apps our district uses (IEP meetings, department meetings- pretty much most labeled meetings).
Google drive to save all pertinent files.
I could probably write a paper just on the importance of this source for a district to use. You're able to share all contents and collaborate and even communicate (google voice); and since this is a free tool like previously stated I've never seen a district not utilize it.

This is a tool to monitor student's on their chromebooks during the school day as well as where ever they use it. Through this application a teacher can message the student's individual device to help steer a student if they are on a different website during class (it also lets you block that site altogether from the student's computer). From an administrator stand point this is a great tool for safety. If a student looks up something that could be seen as potentially dangerous it will be sent to our administrators and guidance. This tool has potentially saved students lives within my own district.

These websites are heavily used at a majority of districts in the state as a way of documentation a myriad of things (grading, attendance, record keeping, schedule access, legal note keeping etc.). Students/ parents are also able to access the site through a portal. I personally have used all three programs but prefer Genesis the most out of the three for its many capabilities and ways to keep myself organized. Administrators also use these types of applications heavily. I couldn't imagine how schools functioned before programs like these.

This website is a tool used for both administrators and educators. SGO's, PDPs, observations, absence management and more are capable through the site. As noted through the site this program is used by over 12,000 educational organizations throughout the country. While this site benefits administrators more I think it's a good tool to keep everyone accountable.

While this website is a great tool for continuing education, I'd like to point out one set of workshops in particular that I find every educator and administrator should be required to take. Dr. Marc Brackett is the director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and has created a course (free through the N.E.A.) on how you can use SEL/ emotional intelligence in the classroom, work place and home life. His books are also something I highly recommend.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Marc Brackett, Ph.D., is founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (YCEI) and professor in the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. He is the lead developer of RULER, an evidence-based approach to social and emotional learning that has been adopted by nearly 2,500 pre-K to high schools across the United States and world. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). As a researcher, Marc has focused on the role of emotions and emotional intelligence in learning, decision making, creativity, relationships, health, and performance. He has published 150 scholarly articles and received numerous awards and accolades for his work in this area. He also consults regularly with corporations, such as Facebook, Microsoft, Pinterest, and Google on integrating the principles of emotional intelligence into employee training and product design. Marc is the author of Permission to Feel (Celadon/Macmillan), which is being translated into 15 languages. This course, "Social and Emotional Learning in Times of Uncertainty and Stress: Research-Based Strategies," is based on decades of research on emotions, resilience, and human development. It was developed in collaboration with educators, teachers, clinicians, scientists, and psychologists. Diana Divecha, Ph.D., Nicole Elbertson, M.Ed., Jessica Hoffmann, Ph.D., Susan Riello, M.S., and Robin Stern, Ph.D. are the co-developers of this course.
