Slack does nothing that email doesn’t already do except waste time. Convince me I’m wrong.

Kudos to the Slack team though for selling through a need that wasn’t needed.

Slack is more immediate than email. It’s way more convenient than emails for quick queries. It also handles files that are way larger than most email servers can handle

like

- Create channels for specific projects, keeping everyone and everything in one channel (versus having 16 different email threads about it)

- Funnels company-wide / “housekeeping” messages into separate channels versus clogging up your inbox

- Real-time messaging, if you feel like it

- At every place I’ve worked that has had Slack, I never wish I was using email instead. Every time I work at a place that doesn’t have Slack, I wish it did.

Slack provides a lot of flexibility that email doesn’t. It saves so much time when the team can have a quick back and forth rather than an overly formal email chain or a meeting that goes around in circles.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
