NEW IDEAS! by Mrs. McDougall https://padlet.com/jemc0998/yd7za9vgs350 If you attended the conference, post one thing that was an AH-HA for you that you could share with our team!! en-us 2017-02-20 19:37:42 UTC 2017-02-20 21:55:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Jeannie :-) jemc0998 https://padlet.com/jemc0998/yd7za9vgs350/wish/155003303 I learned about how you can now do Mail Merge through Gmail! Much easier (especially since Outlook has been tricky for all of us lately!)]]> 2017-02-20 19:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jemc0998/yd7za9vgs350/wish/155003303 Yeah the mail merge session was really good. Also, I learned that Clay County has a teacher that her main responsibility each day is to visit the labs and handles all problems and questions. She also made up a hand book for the lab instructors since they change often. It has brought a real connection between the lab and their virtual school and a feeling of a real connection. Also, Mawi got me pumped about my super hero and sometimes we just have to put those powers into action when things get tough. https://padlet.com/jemc0998/yd7za9vgs350/wish/155018154 Hoytie :D

We all know that kids that are not working are not logging into the course and checking that email. Also, parents don't always respond when the email message that is sent from educator, maybe it looks strange for them, who really knows?? LOL. I got this tip from Jacki Wachtel, as we were sitting together at a session. Our teachers really are the best! I will put together a quick video this week and share it with you guys. Anything that helps us communicate with kids in an effective way is worth sharing. ]]> 2017-02-20 21:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jemc0998/yd7za9vgs350/wish/155018599
