... or filters! Make some of those pesky emails just ;go away'... #MAGEGchat
@Mass_GEG A4. Probably Slides. Sites to teachers, for sure, but not EdTech folks, since I can't imagine knowing more than they would. Some GMail Tips and Tricks to teachers as well. Minds are blown when you teach someone about templates or custom email groups. #MAGEGchat

Wow - How could I forget about Keep?! Such an awesome on-the-fly notepad as things come flying at you! #MAGEGchat
@Mass_GEG A2. Chats to communicate with individual staff or as a group. Sheets to track meeting notes, data, etc. And my all time favorite: GOOGLE KEEP!! Google keep has been a life saver in keeping me organized! #MAGEGchat

We've had good luck with Calendy - but appointment slots can do the trick. There's a LOT of gCalendar features ... #MAGEGchat
@Mass_GEG A1. Anything that can directly help my teachers. For example, right now they are gearing up for parent conferences. I am recommending using Calendar appointment slots. Calendly as an option? Other ideas? #MAGEGchat

A4: It's not the glitzy-est, but Screencastify seems to be getting better and better. It's something staff & students can both take advantage of & easy to use. Students can demonstrate their learning & respond in a more in-depth manner. #MassCUE

I don't think you had enough Kool-Aid... We... Must... Have...Data....! Data is our fiend (I mean 'friend')... #MassCUE. https://t.co/vmUaRgs3ib
A3: I would LOVE to whack student data tracking. Can we just focus on moving forward, growing, and supporting our kiddos without the pressure of hitting a certain mark? #MassCUE

A3: Anything with a long learning curve is getting less attention in the classroom (the Adobe suite comes to mind). Class time is precious - so anything to lessen time to learn a new tool is a win for everyone. #MassCUE
https://t.co/lOcto2LeUS
Q3: Out of the tools and strategies you gained in the last two years, which of them would you whack (not use again)? #MassCUE
