Hot Tech Tip! Please Read
Ever wonder if your students are watching your videos carefully? Have you noticed sometimes that they may miss some details? If you are posting on youtube, it may be, in part, because they are looking at the really cool other videos and ads down the side of their screen. Here is a platform to use where you can post videos WITHOUT the ads and distractions - https://safeshare.tv/. Try it out and see what you think! Shout out to Jen Cypra for sharing this resource!
Coaches Corner
Spark students’ curiosity with a science demonstration. Find out more here. Reach out to Hilary for support or more ideas.
From the Counselors
Your school counselors would like to remind you that it is important to “put on your own oxygen mask first” before you can help students or your children. Take some time this week to check in on your own well-being. Gauge your own level of wellness around your stress level, healthy habits, sleep and outlook on life. See if you can challenge yourself to try some strategies to improve your functioning in each of those domains. As always, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Linda glinda@aischennai.org or Ms. Michele nmichele@aischennai.org if you need support in finding some techniques that might work for you. We are here to help!
