Innovative Learning Bite-sized PD: YouTube Tip

For: All Employees

Today’s tip is a super-simple one, but it’s also really powerful. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking to share a video with students, families, colleagues, or employees since you can’t always anticipate what the ad or “watch next” content might be! So here’s your bite-sized PD for the week: Did you know that by adding a dash after the “T” in YouTube in a video link, you can eliminate ads and suggested videos that might not be appropriate? Then you can share that link in Canvas, via email, on your website, etc. That’s it! A simple tip to give you some peace of mind.

Give Yourself a Little Love

For: All Employees

There is a value in patting yourself on the back. Positive affirmations are statements that can help brighten your outlook. When you say them to yourself regularly or write down in a journal, they can increase your self-esteem and improve your mindset. Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.
