Me too. My schedule isn’t the same daily, so I have the everyday alarms, the T/W/F alarms, the M/Th, alarms as well as the “call my own child at home” alarms .

My techniques are Evie, Jayden, Jasper, and their chatting fingers on Zoom. No student will ever let me miss a break.

Kitchen Timer that I set towards the beginning of class. I usually tell students on Day 1 that if they don't see numbers moving on the timer then please remind me to set it!

I have an analog clock on the wall just above my computer and I can see the time at all times. It helps.

Extension for google calendar called Checker for google calendar. Add all import times and meets to calendar and a reminder pops up on the screen. You can customize the notification to be 15, 10, 5, or 1 minute.

I set alarms on my fit bit. When it goes off I know that it is time to move on.

Alexa is the bomb

I have a digital clock that sits right next to my computer screen and a small schedule right underneath it. It makes it very easy to double check the time and what time class ends.

I need advice from the collective. I left Cap for a leadership role at a F500 technology company. I’ve developed strategy with execution in a new area for revenue. It is my opinion that since they aren’t hiring a BD rep for two of these roles and want me to take on heading this up. I feel that I should ask for a new salary and compensation plan plus new title. Thoughts, suggestions or anyone with a similar story to share? Would appreciate your help. Thanks!

Do you think distance learning, e-learning, or  virtual (whatever you call it) is hindering learning?

I keep data on how many kids get on their conferences, and how much work is turned in compared to my in person kids.
I might get 30% of my E learners to actually do their work where I get 85 to 90% of my in person kids. 
It’s almost impossible to get parents to return phone calls and emails for the E learners.
I feel like those kids are not getting quality education.

I LOVE how parents try to blame ME for not opening schools, like I'm making the decision. What about you, Karen? It's because you still want to go to restaurants, gyms, and large gatherings. If the community really sees opening schools as the priority, then act like it! (End rant)

Good morning! Looking for some great morale boosters for our staff. What has your Admin or hospitality team done to show appreciation, increase the fun level, and generally make you feel good? We don't have a lot of money to buy gifts, but I would love to hear your ideas, regardless of the cost. I'll figure the $ out! We have done breakfasts/lunches, bought t-shirts for the staff, had a snack cart that we brought to each teacher's room, etc. Any other great ideas out there? Thanks so much!
