ECSD Technology Newsletter

Happy Monday,

No new ideas or strategies this week. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all that you did for our students during the 2019-2020 school year and the first half of the 2020-2021 school year. I hope that over our holiday break you can relax and recharge from online learning. Who knows what 2021 will bring but I'm confident that we will adapt and serve our students.

I don't if you saw this or not but below is a great video that was on Good Morning America a while back. It just made me think how this past year has been new for ALL of us but it is amazing seeing our teachers and students adapt.

Take Care,

Clint

Two of the tools that are used often in our district are about to merge. GoGuardian has announced that Pear Deck is joining GoGuardian. What does this mean for us? It means that soon some of our favorite features of Pear Deck will be part of GoGuardian Teacher. Here is an article that explains the merger.
