Geek Speak September 21

Newsletter by stantons

Phew, my first newsletter since pre-pandemic and I could be more excited to be back in my original TIS position. Although I'll admit, I sure miss having my own students. This year I'm going to try a new tool every month for creating the newsletter. This month I chose Canva and I loved how simple it was to create a beautiful hyperlinked newsletter with options for GIFs, videos, and image editing. I learned there is much more I can be doing with Canva!

Since this is my first time back and newsletter and blogging I LOVE the updates to Blogger! Wowza!

GEEK speak Issue 3

During COVID 19 this newsletter was hard to write. I'm eternally grateful for a career that sustains my pocketbook in crises and a group of colleagues who are doing everything they can to make remote learning valuable for children. I am looking forward to a year from now when this is a memory. Please all: stay well, stay active and keep washing your hands!
