Where is your favorite place to get classroom tools/supplies?

I need help fellow technology savvy teachers... being alone with not much support from my employer. I am a deaf ed teacher. We are teaching online. I need help with some great direct instructions on how to make a google Bitmoji classroom and any help how to organize and make a clear google classroom so it’s not so confusing to my students. I know the basics but I need more help with things only you get taught from someone who knows or learned tricks to the program or is more savvy...

After 10 with my district- 2 years in my own classroom and 8 years long term subbing and all with good reviews- I got a call to sub virtually in a 5/6 class until they hire a teacher! I reminded them that I am a fully credentialed teacher looking for a position. I’m at a loss. By the way, I have no health insurance because I can’t afford it right now. Thank you for the space to vent.

Does your school have a hat/hood rule?? I just don’t really see the point. I do not care at all if a student wants to wear a hat or feels inclined to put their hood up. What are everyone else’s thoughts? Should I care about this? I feel like I have bigger fish to fry this year!

For those of you who attended a FT MBA program, what did you do when you were not in the classroom? Besides traveling, partying, studying/homework, interviewing, etc.

Were you often attending events to network, getting lunch with faculty, enjoying a hobby, something else?

Thanks!

Hi,
We are looking to send our special needs (ASD) 4 yr old son to a private inclusive pre-k school. We are looking for schools that would be open to letting the ABA therapist inside the classroom. Any recommendations of good schools within Forsyth or Futon county will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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?

Hello fishes,
I have offers from Accenture and Infosys both. Accenture is offering more than Infosys. But I have come across really bad reviews about Accenture, specially regarding HR policies and work quality. Can you give your inputs on which one should I go ahead with? If other things are better in Infosys, I can compromise on the salary for now. But I don't really want to stuck in a toxic environment even if it pays more. Please suggest.
