I love Microsoft onenote - keeps all my notes for everything (client, internal, etc) in one place and at my fingertips by being open all the time

^ make sure your contract allows for recordings of client meetings or you get everyone in the room to agree to it. Some states you only need two people to agree but most you need everyone's consent to record

What K1 said, it's actually illegal and most people are not comfortable so be careful! I love one note; I also create task in my outlook to remind me to do the important things.

^retweet on S1. OneNote is the best. I try to record audio from key meetings so I have something to reference back to if I miss something in my notes

It's generally internal meetings that I record but good to know. Thanks, K1 and A1

I thought most states you only needed permission from one person (I.e., you), reason laws against spying

@BA no way. There are very few states that allow it to be permissible between 2 people never 1 always at least one other person but I would say the majority of the states need it to be everyone

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

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?
