TECH TIP: Set up Breakout Rooms Ahead of Time in Google Meet
Over the next few weeks, Google Meet is rolling out a new feature that you can set up breakout rooms ahead of time in Google Calendar. Once you have your class in the invite list, from the Settings icon next to the Join Google Meet button, you will be able to set up Breakout Rooms ahead of time. This could save you time during class, but could allow you to provide for good group dynamics or differentiated learning. Look for this feature in a few weeks.
BOOK TIP: Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
This is a free verse novel that was on EVERY best of list this year for young adult books. If you were inspired at all by the powerful, poetic storytelling of Amanda Gorman at the inauguration, I would recommend giving this book a try. Acevedo's poetry is captivating, thoughtful, but yet always moves the story forward. Carmen lives in the Dominincan Republic and loves when her father returns from New York to visit each summer. But this summer, her father is killed in a plane crash (based on the true crash of American Airlines flight 587 which crashed on its way to the Dominican Republic) and this sets in motion a series of life changing events, including finding a sister in New York she never knew about.
