Hello, . This is it! Stephen has officially survived a year as my "partner in crime" and you have survived our weekly-ish tech tips for the year. This week's tips focus on PD opportunities you might want to consider as well as encouragement to take a social media break. As always, if we can do anything to help in any way, please book time with us on our website, StephenAndSusie.com . Keep in mind that we're going to be pulled in a lot of directions in the next week as we help with iPad collection. So booking time with us is the best way to ensure you get help when you need it. Have a great summer, everyone! Sincerely,  Susie & Stephen Technology Coach for  Bonny Eagle Middle School & High School ������   Make an appointment with us!   ������ Ed.S.

Hello, . This week's tips are focused on ways that you can keep the learning going even if your students have already turned in their iPads for the summer as well as two tips for what to do to clean up your "Digital Classroom". If nothing else, please pay extra attention to the Google Classroom tips because it will help you out a lot if you take the time to get things squared away before you depart for the summer. As always, if we can do anything to help in any way, please book time with us on our website, StephenAndSusie.com .

Hello, . Guess what? We're back! I finally got StephenAndSusie.com up and running again. In my frustration, I also completely revamped it and gave us a fun, more simplified home and an easier booking page so you can see our availability side by side. Please head on over there and check it out. And then let us know what you think! Along the same lines, we're also back from our Pathfinders trip to Mount Blue State Park. We definitely wore out our 17 middle schools, and ourselves, during our time in the woods last week. This week's tips focus on what to do in your device-free classroom as student iPads are collected. All ideas are easy to do and we'd love to make them happen with you. Don't let the learning stop just because your batteries are low. We've got your back!

Hello, . Long time no email! A few things as we head into the last full week of May... I broke our website. As I continue to figure out a solution, please visit  https://sites.google.com/view/6-12-tech-coaches/ to reach us and make appointments. I hope to have our fancy website address up soon, but it's been an uphill battle. Stephen and I will be out of district next week for the first BEMS Pathfinders trip since February 2020. We are very excited! That being said, we won't have much (if any) access to our email or internet in general. So please be patient with our delayed responses. Get out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend! And be sure to book time with us when we return so we can end the year strong together. ★ ★ ★ Could you teach from your iPad for an entire day?

Hello, . With this being the last week before your well deserved vacation, we wanted to take the time to share fun things with you to hopefully brighten your day or give you ideas to implement after vacation.

And then disconnect and take time to relax and take care of yourself next week. ★ ★ ★ Which browser do you choose to use?
