Cleaning up your Virtual Classroom

This year has been like no other. I think that is something we can all agree on. With the end of the year coming to a close, we are missing many things that are part of our end of year routine. This includes picnics, award ceremonies, and celebrations. We are still doing what we can via the internet and social distancing, but we can all agree, it's difficult. Things have changed significantly during Remote Learning, but one thing hasn't. We still need to clean up classrooms for the end of the year. Wait, what? Didn't we already do that?

My approach is pretty simple: if a newsletter looks promising, I sign up. After a few issues, I decide if it's a keeper or if it's time to unsubscribe. What makes the cut? I'm always on the hunt for quick, actionable ideas or tools that I can easily pass along to the teachers and service providers in my district. My goal is to offer genuinely useful resources without overwhelming anyone. So, which newsletters have made the cut? I'm still hooked on a few I've shared before. If you missed my "5 Blogs I Can't Stop Reading" post from November 2022, here's a spoiler: I'm still reading them all! Eric Curts , Matt Miller , Jennifer Gonzalez , Mandy Froehlich, and EdSurge remain my go-to leaders for EdTech, pedagogy, teacher sustainability, and news. Seriously, if you're not familiar with them, ...
