Raise your hand if you are using two or more monitors to watch all your zoom groups and breakout rooms? Does the school provide the monitors and how does it work?

🙋🏻‍♀️ Yes, all brand new, the teacher computer this replaced was 10 years old!

The teachers all have Dell laptops that plug into a 24” monitor (a godsend with bifocals!), there’s also a wireless keyboard & mouse. It is amazing.

I’m lucky that I got a used small laptop they bought from another district. I purchased my own second monitor and wireless mouse. I also use my own iPad and phone. Couldn’t do it without. Tech issues are a huge problem here

I’m using 3! My school computer to project to my smartboard for kids in class, my personal laptop to see the kids at home in the google meet, and my iPad to project my Jamboards/slides/etc. Its so much to juggle at once 😔

I am so impressed by your skills! 😀 Nice job!
Lotta work though 😬

5 devices going at once. My school provided 4. I use my iPhone to text/talk to my TA while teaching virtually. I’m fortunate bc I teach at a computer coding magnet school.

One device from school one of my own

I have 3 monitors, including the Promethean board. I have the Meet window on the Promethean so I can see everyone. Works great.

Yes, the school provided mine but I’ve been a double monitor for years. We don’t have a lot of zoom classes because we are mostly f-2-f.

Yes and no. I use three. The school provided one, I provided two.

I use a chromebook which is required and my laptop and desktop all school issued while projecting on my promethean board for my in person leatners

No there is no provision by the district to supply the extra monitor. They give us a laptop to use. I have a repurposed one at home. And a newly purchased one at school. It’s much bigger and digital instead of analog like the home monitor. Makes a big difference. Two mo I toes is the only way to go.

I also run an iPad on the side, logged into the class so I can see exactly what the students see. Because it is a little different than you think. Some students think i have a twin even though I have told them the purpose. Maybe it’s their sense of humor.

Yes, bought my own monitor. Only provided a computer.

I just took one from the computer lab. The students aren’t allowed in there anyway right now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ask for forgiveness later..not permission now.

I received nothing from my campus. I bought a new 13" MAC back in March for my dissertation to keep safe and now I am using it as my primary and my old 13" MAC as my second monitor. I have my iPhone and an iPad waiting to be connected to a truly larger computer base. I asked for a Doc camera and got no reply! And, I teach students supported by IEPs. For those of you that have tech support more than keeping you live, CONGRATULATIONS!

Tech support in my district:
1 week before school started, I needed a firewall override for my webcam. The help desk person, who could have remotes in and entered his credentials to the pop-up that was on my screen said no and put in a work order ticket.
6 weeks later a tech came by to do it, and was surprised I was able to outsmart it and get it done on my own.

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?

Curious what your title structure is for roles focused specifically on organic social media (or does it always require paid expertise?). I imagine Community Manager is appropriate for entry level but when you start to grow and the work becomes more than social moderation - responsible for the development of all organic content (and sometimes copywriting), high level reporting, etc. - not sure what's most reflective of the roles. Any insights and perspectives welcome :)
