The Monday Minute
February 22, 2021
Our office has several copies of AMLE's most recent edition of This We Believe, entitled The Successful Middle School. In anticipation of an upcoming webinar series AMLE is hosting on the book, we will award copies to middle level educators who send the top success stories for us to share in our newsletters. (The webinar series is free to AMLE members.) What would you consider some of your greatest accomplishments since March 13, 2020? The sooner the better, but we will not limit it to one week. Bonus points if you include photos! Please send your stories to Susie Highley
NOT JUST FOR REMOTE: KNOWT & MOTE
Giving students feedback is important, and Mote makes it much easier! Mote is a chrome extension that allows you to leave voice comments/feedback in Docs, Slides, and Forms. I've seen many teachers comment on being able now to insert recorded audio directly into Google Slides. You can also create a Motepad to save links to reuse recorded audio.
