Ideas for librarians - storytimes

Daily zoom/meet to chat with each other.

Daily checkups. Play bingo, scavenger hunts, use directed drawings, kahoots, dance-offs

One school uses wellness directors instead of physical educators.

Challenges - weather, schedules with parents and other siblings, parents working

Apps - Seesaw, kahoot, bloom

Next school year - made introduction videos for students; use google classroom right away; worried about Ks; offer parent training; train kids how to use google platform; will be 1-on-1 chromebooks; teachers make contact with new students through mail;

etiquette tips for kids; one teacher had signs - please stop chatting, mute yourself

self-care: go for walks, signing off at the scheduled time; reading; gardening; biking; exercising through gym videos; free workout videos through Nike training app; hold office hours for kids/parents to contact you; google voice

Better to do less well than a lot poorly

Resources:
Schoology
Google Meet (as opposed to Zoom)
Padlet
Nearpod
Peardeck (very similar to nearpod)
Buncee (baby version of google classroom)
Public Library (online books and pick-up)
PBS Learning

Honestly, there have been too many resources shared!

Worry that we are using tools that are "free" now for districts but will eventually start costing in the fall

Online instruction will be costly
