60 WITH SAINT
Weekly Tech Update 2/22 to 2/26
A Conundrum
I know we have had our issues this school year trying to teach in unprecedented times, but WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT! We have to make it. We have to make it for ourselves, our families, and especially our students. The district has expressed its appreciation many times, but I would also like to thank all of you and let you know you are doing a fantastic job! Welcome back and looking forward to seeing everyone soon.
I'm sure many of you have seen this floating around on social media, but I thought it's fitting.

Who Got Caught? 🚨
Has anyone noticed the new “I Caught” option on the Empower website? If you haven’t, head on over and check it out. The “I Caught…” form is courtesy of the Cyclone Learning Zone. I’m not going to spoil it, you’ll have to check it out. Here’s the link.

Classroom Q
Classroom Q is a great way to change how students are asking questions. Students can then raise their hand to notify the teacher of a question and then submit the question to the teacher's queue. Teachers will create a class that students will join with a unique pin. And yes, it is NYS Ed Law 2D compliant! Might be worth it to check it out. Great way to engage those in a hybrid or virtual setting, especially if the student doesn't want to put their question in the public chat within Zoom.
