With the generous, but overwhelming, flood of resources being made available, the focus of this Smore is shifting. All the amazing resources shared can be found on the Padlet linked below. We will highlight new and relevant resources, and then move them to the Padlet. We will also be using this newsletter to share opportunities for collaboration, for improving our teaching practices, and to share other important information. Check back often, and please join us in a shared conversation.
