NCOESC Teach From Home

You. Are. Their. Hero

Working from home, not having to manage classroom behaviors - it all used to sound like a dream, right?

Not so much now it is reality! Navigating covering curriculum is difficult enough without having to figure out how to do so remotely. That's where we step in. Made with the heart of #teachfromhome experiences, several of the tutorials include elements of the daily life as a toddler's mom working from home and as a former teacher (now educational consultant), meant to give you access to the tools you are using with quick tutorials and share the greatness of your virtual classroom. Because you are amazing and you deserve to have the tools you need. Best of luck -- may the virtual force be with you...

I was Zoombombed... and what you can do if it happens to you

**It important to know that there are many ways for you avoid being Zoombombed. Zoom has multiple security layers available. Some are discussed in this video and others in my lengthier video on the Live Classes page, which recommends and demonstrates how specific security-based settings work.

Yes, I was Zoombombed. It was during a public meeting - where there is a limited amount of meeting security settings that can be preset. The experience was more jarring than I had expected it to be, but it was ended quickly by the administrator overseeing the meeting. I greatly hope it does not happen to you, but on the chance it does, I also want you to be prepared.

Document Camera Hack!

Do you need to show your students how to solve an equation, diagram an atom, or paint with a specific brush stroke but have not found a good way to write and record yourself yet? Try this simple document camera hack using Zoom, your computer, and your cell phone! This video was inspired by a Facebook post my friend shared with me (see right) - thank you to Krissy Venosdale for the great idea!
