I am overwhelmed by the choices for online tools this year. So far, I am using Kami for annotations, google docs for writing, google slides for student presentations, and google forms for quizzes and short answers. What am I missing? Also, I have been preparing PPTs to teach from and setting up all work in Google Classroom across 11 classes. It is taking a lot of time. Dows anyone have suggestions for cutting the prep down?

Why do you have 11 classes? That seems like more than one teacher should have. It sounds like you are using all the right tools.

You can also get use the question feature on google classroom for a single short answer question. (It’s under assignments)

You can post the same assignment to multiple Google Classrooms at one time, but it must be a post that goes up at that time (no scheduling for more than one class at once). You can also use Edulastic to create tests - especially if they are passage based questions similar to the PARCC test - and you can upload PDFs to turn into graded assignments that students type on.

That is such a waste of my time.

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?
