House of #EdTech

ISTE 2020 is here and the conference runs from 11/30-12/5/2020.

Each day of the conference I am live streaming at 10 PM EST via https://chrisnesi.com/live

This BONUS episode was recorded on Sunday, November 29, 2020. I was joined on-air by the following people who you should connect with:

• Nate Ridgeway
• Batsheva Frankel
• Dr. Quentin Jerome Lee
• Brandie Wright

Quentin and Brandie were featured speakers in the opening video for ISTE 2020.

• Dan Gallagher shared some of his experience with Digital Citizenship. Derek Larson talked about DigCit in episode 167.

I participated in the November edition of #PassTheScopeEdu and this month's topic was #RestUpTeachUp. In this segment, I talk about the need for sleep and resting and recharging as an educator and how that can't be overlooked.

Whiteboard.chat is an awesome and free virtual, web-based whiteboard. I think it's better than Google Jamboard!

Earlier in November, I had the opportunity to provide some afterschool PD to teachers in my district and I created a session about strategies to engage students in virtual learning. Some of the strategies include:

• Keep It Simple
• Use Music and Sound
• Ensure the Privacy of Your Students
• Empower Your Students
• Create Breakout Rooms Ahead of Time

• Using Yoga to provide breaks - Find short 2-5 minute Yoga videos.

Liz Sheridan - Proud Rutgers graduate who initially hoped to get into publishing but then considered a career in education. She teaches English at my school and she's a phenomenal educator who is respected by her students and her colleagues. She loves literature and being around reading and she figured that teaching would be a way to help other people access that love, whether they already liked reading or not. Liz is a former teacher of the year and is regularly nominated in our building.

Most recently, she received the 2020 Yale Educator Award along with 6 other teachers and 24 counselors who were recognized as outstanding educators from around the world who have supported and inspired their students to achieve at high levels.
