TRANSCRIPT Ð Caseload Tech and rolling out tech to your students Ð 8/17/23

So. Today's topic is going to be just let's get started. So it's gonna be some caseload tech, you know, usually we focus on the kids. This session is going to be focused on us. As TBIs and as providers. I'm excited about this year at the very end of the hour. I'm going to go over all of the things we have coming up. Until December. We have speakers. And folks coming in almost every week. I'm so excited because I know you guys got tired of hearing me. Run my mouth. So. Our goal, as I said, was to build a community. Of practice for technology that will allow us to support each other as we're in the field. Some of us are the only ones in our area. And so it is nice to have a group of us that could chat with each other, share information. Feel free to connect with each other through chat. Do I see that Debra, you're coming to us from Ecuador? Is, Deborah Stellar? Yes. Wow, I think that you're the furthest one away. That we've reached so far. I'm so excited. Welcome. Yes, so excited. So really, we encourage you to talk, to send messages in the chat, tell us where you are, what you're doing. If you hear something that sparks your interest and you want to know more about, please stop me. I have no problem with you interrupting and us going off on a tangent. Absolutely fine with that. I asked that you just be respectful to everyone in the group. This is a safe space. So be advised that this session is being recorded and by registering for that. You're, agreeing that we, it is okay with you that we publish, cause this is posted on my website. Which I will give out at the end if you haven't already visited it. Along with in our live binder. Okay, so as we were just talking those meeting norms, feel free to speak up if you have any questions Please say your name. Before you Make a comment so that if we have anyone who is attending who needs that identification so they know who is speaking. Please. Let us know who's talking. If you have any questions and don't want to speak, go ahead and type it in the chat and I will frequently stop and and check that chat if not somebody else can read it out for you. We've got hello from Houston. And we've got some original Houston's and now in spring. All right, so. We know as TSVIs that technology is important for our kids. Yeah. Need technology for our kids, but what about us? There's I can. Absolutely! Say that there were times Working out in the field where I could have utilized some technology that make my life easier. And sometimes I do. Sometimes I didn't. But today I just want to share with you some things that. Could improve your efficiency. Cause we can work, we can work smarter, not necessarily not harder because goodness knows we 10 to work smarter and then get more work. How about y'all? That's what happens here. We can enhance our data interpretation and delivery. We can improve our data collection, which will improve effectiveness if we're identifying that good data and reduced waste. That's not just paper waste, but that's also of resources and time. If we have this messy toolbox that I've got a picture of here, we're gonna spend a whole lot of time digging for those tools instead of knowing right where it is to go get it. So this little neat toolbox with all its rows and rows and columns makes my heart happy. So, organization, first off. Travel. How many of us have to track our travel? Yeah, all of us, right? Now these forms and sheets that I'm going to share with you are not necessarily IRS compliant. I just want to put that out there. These are not things you're submitting for IRS. Reimbursement or anything like that. These are for record keeping purposes only. If you have reimbursement forms that you need to submit those come from your district. These are just Easy ways that we can keep track of. Mileage. When you get the handouts from the website, you'll be able to link on these and make, make copies for yourself. So this first one is just a simple example of a mileage log. You can put your date, your purpose, your starting in miles and it will calculate your miles for you and allows you to put comments on what you're doing if you have to put a description, etc, on your knowledge. So that's one simple. Form, my other link is not working. Oh my goodness. Okay. So I also have another link that I will fix on this one. I only have one of mine. That's a little bit simpler form, so it doesn't have all the colors, it just does the same thing. Technical difficulties on the day. The other thing that you can use is something like this. If this is a simple Google form. That I've added the information. That I need for each trip. So the trip date, the start time, the starting location, and the odometer reading. Put that in, drive to my location. Hit next. Well, if I had filled this in, I would hit next. So let's say I went today at 8 am. I'm starting my day. And I'm starting my day. What's nice about these Google forms is you can pre program your dropdowns. I'm starting my day at my home and my odometer is 1 2 3 4. Yeah, let's go with that. I get to my first location. I get there at 8 15. My destination was my school one. My. Oh,ometer rating. And you submit that. Then you've got your response. You can leave this screen open on your phone. Just as one of your tabs. Click on it again and put in your next trip. And you say, well, what do we do after we've done our trips? The nice thing is when you've built this. Form. You can then go to. 1 s. You can go to where you have created this form. And it has this little response list. You can view it in sheets. And it creates a nice little spreadsheet with all of your mileage. For that time period. So it's just another nice way of taking. Taking your data for your mileage logs. If you don't like to do Google Sheets, don't like to do Google fors and want to keep an app that's a little more integrated, there are tons out there. It all depends on your price point. This is an example of Milebug, which is one that I used when I was an itinerant. It was very nice at tracking. It's basic. Do you have a charge for it, I believe? When you get into the more fancy features. But there are tons and tons of apps out there on how to track. Anybody else have any good ideas for travelling? Let's see, Gloria asked, could any of these forms be exported to a district form? Hmm. I don't know. I would have to see the form. It would be one of those you'd have to check the form. What kind of form is it? You could very well if the district has a form, see if they can digitize it into a Google fashion. Yeah. It would depend on your district form. You can also copy paste from This. From this sheet, if your form is a. An Excel or a Google Sheet. You can copy paste the data from one to the other. Just be careful not to shift your lines. Rand McNally mileage calculator. I haven't used that one. I remember back in the day when I used the big maps, the big map books. Is anybody I'm aging myself? Did anyone used to use the big map books that you kept 3 of them in the back of the car for. Dallas. Deborah, you remember those? Dallas Fort Worth had, I think, 3 of them. Cecilia remembers them. And if you pulled the wrong book out, you'd have to pull over and get out and pull your book out and go change your book out, you'd have to pull over and get out and pull your book out and go change your book. So the apps and things like that for your maps are much better. So Ran McNally app, that's another. Another good one, we'll put that on the list to. To post. Anyone else with mileage? You gave one of the books to a teenager. Oh, that would have been a funny one to see, Dorothy. I don't think any of our Probably teen through early twenties would know what one of those maps were good for how to use the fact that they're a book instead of a single map. I would, I would have probably laughed really hard. For a very long time. It would have been a fun lesson. E-map, is that what it was called? I never can remember what it's called now. It's been a while. Alright, so go we're on we've gotten to where we need to be scheduling. My go to is Google. There are a lot. And a lot of us, yes, use Google Maps. That is like the easiest for me, Google Maps or. Maps from Apple. Both of them work great. I haven't dug into tracking on them yet. Has anybody dug into tracking on Google Maps or? Apple Maps, is there any way to track on those? I usually just go place to place. Especially our younger folks. I know I'm old and it takes time to learn new things. Is there anybody that's using the, maps to track? Yeah, that might be another cool thing to dig into. Alright, scheduling! The nightmare that is itinerant scheduling. Oh, good to know Cecilia. She says that Google will be an exhibitor at Swoma. So we might need to ask them about addressing maps and things. How many are using Google? Calendar, Outlook calendar to schedule their students. Melissa? This there's some features within Google for specifically and I see Gloria is Amy's using Outlook. Ii believe Outlook has the same features that I'm talking about, but they may be in a different way to set them up. And that is the repeating scheduling, custom scheduling, and appointment scheduling. All 3 of those have been a lifesaver that they've instituted. Being that you can custom schedule if you have a student who is every week on Tuesday, no fail at 10'clock. You don't have to go in your schedule and copy that to everyone anymore. You can just pop it in there. If you have one that's that's Tuesday, Thursday, it used to be that you would do Tuesday repeating and they didn't have the option. And again, I'm dating myself. This is way back before they got good custom scheduling. You would have to do all of Tuesday's and then all of Thursday's separately. Now you can custom schedule and do if you have a student this Tuesday and Thursday at 10'clock you do. Tuesday, Thursday, 10'clock, it'll populate that schedule for you. So. Amazingly powerful. Appointment schedule. I use this one a lot if you ever. Contact me for. A technical assistance. I will send you a link to my appointment schedule which will allow you to look at my schedule. And pick a time that fits for you. So it works really nicely when I'm scheduling consultations or visits. So you could consider using that. For if you have teachers that you want to see what is their preferred time for you to come in and consultate or consultate. Yeah, I can talk today and consult with them. And it kind of gives them a little bit more buy in of that they're picking the time. And Gloria says that Google Calendar is twofold she says a lead to see her appointment schedule and reschedule. And sharing with the OMS for the students. Google Calendar, I mean, really I. I have so many of them. And Debbie, they are Deborah? Yes, paper pencil calendars. Oh my goodness. I was so happy when I finally could get everything on a digital calendar because The paper pencil drove me nuts. I'm a little bit OCD about erasing things and having erasures on my calendars. I would rewrite whole calendars. It would just waste my time. In everybody else's and a lot of paper. Yes, the appointment schedule is with. Who volunteers in Ecuador. 6 months a year. What was that, Deborah? Oh, I missed. Gloria, yes. Appointment schedule is within Google. And you go to. When you create a new event. If you look across the bottom, you know, the first blank is your title. It says add title. Underneath that you're gonna have event focus time, which is really nice too if you want to do paperwork and such, you can set focus time that will allow nothing else to be scheduled during that time. You have your out of office setting, your work location, your task, and the last thing on that list is your appointment schedule. You can set up. Times when you want people to schedule things. So you can even pick. What you want people to have access to. It's really nice if you're doing, as a lead and you're doing observations or, mentoring or anything like that. You can use that appointment schedule. It's really, really nice. This next one here is monday.com. If you're a team lead or planner or you have referrals come in that you need to process Monday. Dot com is a very nice. I thought I put a link on that one. Apparently I did not. Is a very nice product when it comes to if you've ever heard anyone in IT say we have a ticketing system. Where things come in and we have steps of how we process it. Monday.com is a very nice product for that because you can have people say refer. You have your diagnosticians fill out a form and say we have a student who. Has a new referral. Here's all the information and then it comes in and notifies you. If you want to know more about Monday. Dot com. Give me a holler because it's really in depth and would take way more time than we have. Here today. 2 things in this next section. I'm only doing 2 things in this section because This topic is overwhelming. For some folks. And that's the artificial intelligence that's going to be seen a lot. Schools this year. There are whole learning management systems developing around AI and and the use of AI for planning and scheduling and grading, creating prompts, creating syllabus. It is awesome. Just saying, my opinion. Leia, the links for. Everything will be on my website and I'll give that out at the end. I'm sorry I didn't get everyone. I didn't get this posted in time today. We were having some issues. But you will have the links to everything. At the very end, you'll have the whole handout. So AI, I got to play with a lot of AI this summer. That was my My fun time, well. Fun time as structured by my professor in that I had to research artificial intelligence all summer. The 2 that I used, one you probably never heard of, the other you've heard of. All over the place and that's chat GPT. You have to be careful using chat GPT. It does hallucinate. Which means it makes up things. So if you want it to pull research. Do not use chat GPT. If you wanted to look up things. Like research and Factual data. No, it is going to hallucinate and most likely the things that it's going to give you are not going to be correct. If you are doing research and you want an AI to help with research, Drop me an email and I can give you dedicated research AI that will help you with research if you've got students that are doing research. There is AI that will help with that. There's also note taking AI, which we can get into if you have a student that's in high school. Who needs to do a lot of note taking. And is not note taking fast enough. There is note taking AI that allows that does the note taking but allows the student to insert comments. Documents, and a whole lot of other features. Right, Deborah. It's not always truthful or factual. Like I said, it does hallucinate. So we think of it as Someone you're talking to, not necessarily somebody you would trust. All the time, but just someone you're having a conversation. Absolutely, Carla. Do you want more information about Chat G GPT or the note taking? Note ticking. Okay, I will. My email will be in the end. If you drop me an email, I will send you more information about the note taking. Anybody that wants more information about note taking drop me an email and I will get a group together on that. Perfect. Michelle, I'm glad I brought it up because I did not put it on my list. What you can use chat GPT for and what some folks are doing. Writing good emails. Now you do have to proof them. And you have to write a prompt that's very good. Okay, it took me because I've been doing this a lot, it took me about 2 min. To make this prompt that I'm about to show you. This is the prompt that I wrote. Right an introductory introduction email to classroom teachers who have a visually impaired student in their classroom. From the teacher of students with visual impairments who will be working with their student, includes space for students information, name, visual condition information, accommodations and modifications, and TSVI scheduling contact information. So I was pretty specific about what I wanted it to write on. Now check this email out. I did not change anything. On this email, I just wanted you guys to see what it produced. So it said subject introduction and collaboration for. Student Names, Success. How cool is that? I wouldn't have thought of that for a subject. Dear classroom teachers name, so you would insert the classroom teachers name. I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to introduce myself and to establish collaborative partnership as we work together to provide the best possible educational experience for students name who is under my support as a teacher. For students with visual impairments. Literally, I didn't change anything. This is all it's writing. It's so cool. So then it goes on. You'll have the link to this. I mean, it goes on. It does really, really good job at writing emails. So you have an example of that of how to write a prompt and what it puts out. Again, you must preview. And. Review before you send out, of course, but it can assist and write some beautiful emails. Leanne mid journey? Can you tell us about mid journey? . That Okay. There are 2 versions of chat GPT. One does cost one doesn't. Vienna, mid journey. Are you with us? All right, Leanna, as soon as you're able to unmute, you can interrupt me. There you are! There. Okay, finally. Sorry. Too many places and I'm in my car. Actually it's doing artwork and stuff. Oh yes. Have you tried it yet? Who knows? Yeah, I knew you would know, but I thought you know for images and stuff if I could get them, you know, stripped with a lot of the background, who knows, that would be so much better for mapping and that kind of stuff. So just a thought. I have I have not tried it yet because I the one I was looking at had a cost to it that was pretty extensive. Oh, yeah. So I did a lot of the imaging ones do have a cost to them. Where's chat GPT and some of the other ones I'm gonna tell you about don't have a cost or very minimal cost. Yeah. And you have to be careful even stripping. Some of the backgrounds. We are having a session. Okay. Okay. Next month, I believe it or October. That is going to be on 3D printing for tactals with jem Allen so excited about that definitely attend that one okay, so let's see, how are we on time? Thank you guys for all of the input. We are going good. Okay. So this other link I've put here is for Reclaim AI. That, that, that, It's about monday.com. Okay, let's skip that. So reclaim AI. I use Reclaim AI. It does cost, it has. An educators discount that you apply for. And I think it ends up being less than $20 a year. For for the membership. But it so. Is amazing because it helps do exactly what it says. It helps you reclaim time on your schedule. So we're gonna watch this. 2 min video and let's see what you think and I'm going to check the chats while we're watching the video. First of all, can everyone hear when I start this video? No? Okay, I'm gonna stop the share for a second. Share. Okay, let's try this again. Cleaned I. In this short video we'll show you an overview of how we're claimed smart scheduling works so you and your team could automatically plan the perfect workweek. First off, what is reclaim? Reclaim is a smart calendar assistant for Google Calendar. We help your team block time for meetings, tasks, habits, even breaks. And when plans change, we automatically reschedule it to the next best time. Let's take a look at a common example. Lunch. Say you want to make time for lunch daily. But you're probably flexible about when you can take a lunch break depending on everything else you have to do that day. You can set a habit for your lunch break and automatically schedule it around the other events in your calendar. So instead of having a fixed event for lunch at 12 pm every day, where Clean can book your lunch between say 1130 and 2 for up to an hour but as little as 30 min depending on how busy you are and if your lunch gets interrupted by a meeting or any other event it will automatically be scheduled to the next best time, keeping your daily plan flexible and adaptive. Reclaim is all about flexibility. It doesn't just fill up your calendar with a movable blocks that prevent you from taking meetings. It uses intelligence to know when you're running out of time to get something done and automatically flips your events from free to busy. So you can balance being available for collaboration and having enough time defended for focused work. While Reclaim automatically schedules your work week, you're always in control. You can prioritize exactly what you want to get done in real time and if you ever want to make changes to the planned reclaim is made for you, you can always adjust it from our planner in Google Calendar or even in Slack. And this applies to any events you create and reclaim. From habits like lunch, one-on-one meetings to your task work, your scheduling links, you're between meeting breaks and more. So you and your team always have time to get the important things done. It's a smarter, more flexible, and more agile way to plan your perfect workweek. Ready to take back your calendar, follow our step-by-step user guide to take advantage of everything we're claim has to offer. And her claim is better together. Don't forget to invite your team so everyone can get more out of the week. Have fun getting to know our claim and don't hesitate to reach out via in product chat if you have any questions. Okay, that was a lot in a very short amount of time. Here's an example. I have 3 calendars. I have my home calendar, my work calendar, and my school calendar. My graduate school calendar. I have so many projects going. I can't tell which way is up right now. So I used Reclaim to say, okay, I need to work on tech T time. I need this many hours and it is due by Of course, today. I was able to go in and tell Reclaim that I needed 5 h to work. Between last week and this week. In one to 2 h blocks. And it found time in my schedule. For me to be able to do that. And scheduled it for me. I told it that I wanted to have lunch. Every day, which I know we have a hard time finding food and stopping for lunch and that's self care. I told it to build that habit into my schedule. So it was able to find 30 min to an hour every day in my schedule for. That, that task. It took all 3 of my schedules. And created a beautiful schedule that I can interact with. Let me see, I don't think I have. Anything. Telling on my Okay, so let me show you real quick. This is what a calendar looks like. When you have it created. So this is 3 calendars in one. I've told it what tasks I have to do and how many hours I need to do them. And how when they are due. So you can see how this could work for you or for your student who has time finding time in their schedule to work on homework. Braille practice. Sports events. All of those things that they need to schedule, you can see how they can set up their tasks. Right in their schedules and be able to schedule it with due dates and they'll know when, you know, when it's coming up and kind of help with that procrastination. I'm also able to schedule in habits. Like lunch. Making coffee every morning. And cooking breakfast before I go to work. Because I have a tendency to skip those meals. So I'm able to schedule those in because this is combining my home work and school schedules. I can set times for each of those. Items I can set work schedule. I can set home schedule and I can set school schedule. And it. Puts things where they belong, which is. Pretty awesome. So this is what my planner looks like. And if I decide that I can't do this right now. Something has come up. I literally can just move it over. Nothing is locked. It recalculates and says, okay, if you move that away from today, you're going to need to find time on another day to fix it up. So this is another way you can use to help manage that work life. Balance and getting your things scheduled. Again, it does have a little cost. But they are so nice. You send them an email, tell them you're an educator. They give you a 50% off coupon code. So it was a really simple process and I've been using it now for. 5 months. And it has been like the best 20 bucks. Alright, there was some chats here. Alright, we bet lots of thumbs up and like in the way things are organized. Awesome. The handouts will all have the link at the very end. And the about 20 bucks was the the reclaim AI subscription. Gloria. That's with your, with your 50% off discount and that's for the whole year. Alright, organizational system. I think all of us have seen These early things that I go through at least 5 of them a year when I was a TDI. I don't know about y'all, but. Me, yes, the code is for 50% off. You just have to email them. I used to break the wheels off of this and I'd always lose the side bars and so the little sides would go flappy flappy and Yeah, these were never my favorite, but they work. You know, I always filled them too full. This is a really blurry picture. I'm sorry. Whoops. Oops. Oops. This bag. I don't know if they carry them anymore and they're a little bit. Expensive you can find them after market now but this was a 31 totte. They're extra large totes with the zipper on top. I used to use those for organization for School. So I had one tot for each school when I had multiple kids in that school for like my paperwork and such. I'd have that in my car. So backpacks boxes, crates, wheels. Organization is so very personal when it comes to physical organization systems. So I'm going to give out a bunch of suggestions. Anybody that has other suggestions, please pipe in because it is so very individualized. Nothing works for everyone. If you The one thing I would give advice to new teachers or young teachers is try something. Small. Try one thing and stay with it for a while if it really doesn't work then adjust but give it a shot try to build that habit you know that 14 day give it a shot habit to see if it works before you go to that next thing. I've been through so many organizational systems in the last 25 years that That's a whole another conversation. Okay. So these are some of the things that I've used. This is not the picture of my car. Mine is never that neat. But this is a link. On this to. To an, I think it's a speech language pathologist who is this neat. And she goes through tiny office living and how she organized her car and she had a very tiny car and the things that she did in the car. So all of these pictures are from her website and the link is going to be there. This little carrier I have one like it that I use all the time. This is my stuff that goes in and out of the car. That I don't want in the bottom of my purse. So it has some pens, a small notebook, my badge so it won't get lost. My hang tag because my husband and I share a car and I use Reynolds quite often. So my parking tag goes in there. My receipts for gas and per DM and all of those receipts that I have to turn in go in a little folder right into this caddy and I can grab the caddy and put it in my mudroom coming, at home and I when I get the next rental car or when we change. I'm talking about the, bag in the top right left corner of the whoops. Oops, this one right here. It is a cloth. Coffee caddy or cough, cloth drinks caddy? And it's just the right size to put small things in and be able to grab and put in my cubby. At home. So it's just this small drinks cubby. The, and I didn't link that one. I'm sorry. There's so many of them. If you search drinks, caddy, you'll find tons of them in all different styles or if you have a person that shows you can get. Okay. Get us showed one. The I heard so much. Let's see what we got here. Terry, you have something for us? Okay. Alright, Dorothy, it says you use one of the travel luggage bags for your VI evaluation kit and you have 3 of them. Yes, I had not gotten to those. That is, one of the systems that I found worked for me as well is to have a baby, low, baby kiddo. Or baby or an elementary and a middle school high school back and then I would just change out. I kept an inventory slip attached to that bag so I'd refill if I need it. So yeah, that is a wonderful suggestion there. They also have those if you check at Goodwill's Salvation Army, any of those thrift store type stores, you can sometimes find decent luggage that still has the wills intact. To put your evaluation kits in. So that's another place you can check. Yard sales are my favorite place to go yard sales and estate sales. Not only can you get good stuff, you can get. Organizational things as well. The tray that's down in the left corner of the screen is of all things called a stupid cartridge. That is the actual brand name of it. I have one of these. I love it. My husband has a mini keeper and again we share that car when we're not in our truck. The drinks containers won't hold my coffee mugs or my Hetty Cup or Stanley Cup. They don't fit in the cup holders. The, will latch to your seat. And it has cup holders. That hold the larger cups. It has a place in the center for your phone to sit up and the cord goes down through that little channel. Hmm. The strap that goes across will hold wider things. So you could even take a cup holder and put the strap across the cup holder and cups and trays, clipboards, things like that that are flat will stay in place and not go sliding across your car as you turn. I have had many a car need to be dry cleaned because a sonic cup. Went flying and I went my brand new mini Cooper when we had matching Mini Cooper's. The first week I had it, I turned the corner and the 44 ounce. Went flying I went to grab it my thumb went through thee cup and spouted. Across my windshield and all over my brand new Mini Cooper literally had it a week. So I love the size of these cup holders because they're it's a really nice one and it has a hook on the front to hang your purse. So you don't have to reach all the way in the back. I've seen a lot of these carts that are in the middle that you can put crates on and take crates off of them. A lot of people use them for groceries and then that crate collapses. The only thing in the only reason I don't have one right now is that they cost about 200 bucks. So way out of my budget. But if it's something to aspire to one day to have a trolley cart. I just keep going crazy with the thing. The bags in the top left corner are file bags. Again, from 31, they're very easy to make if you have somebody that can sew. I would hang them on the back of my seat and that would allow me to put notes and things that needed to be. I had one for needs to file and one. Of my originals so I could grab, consultation notes and things when we had things in triplicate. The bottom left is hangers if you don't have a way to hang things on the back of your chair, you can hang things with those. They're very nice for hanging your lunch bag so it doesn't get lost in the floor well. Of your car. The middle is a Trunk organizer that's really nice. I prefer these. The top middle, the stay holds. They Velcro to your trunk liner so they keep things from rolling around. So if you have loose items in your car, and they have the strap that will go around them. And the last thing on the right there is another. File organizer hanger. I like the fabric ones versus the hard ones because then I can roll them up. And fold them flat. Or if I need to clean out the car or if we're going somewhere on the weekend. I can roll them up, put them in a box or put them in a crate and take them inside. And I don't need to worry about plastic braking and getting too hot in our weather and shattering. Because I've had some organizational things shattering my car, which was not fun. Just examples of organization that makes my heart feel lovely. So I thought I'd share. Mine looked like that on the first day, usually. By the end, you open the trunks. Really carefully to make sure things didn't fall out. And hit a bump and the Usually the penguin that went with the switch was singing hello hello, hello, if you've ever seen the hello, Penguin switched away. Was going off in the back. Alright. Let's see, Deborah got an insert that fits in the car cup holder, but it expands to fit your mug. Awesome. See, II got one of the ones that, your phone goes into because the phone kept popping off and hitting me in the forehead. So I've got one that, mounts that. So. That is awesome. And oh, you said your phone fits there as well. You'll have to share that link with us if you have a link of that cup holder. Small steps again with organization use what you have what you'll regularly utilize it's building that that muscle memory. Simples better. I've I've gone way crazy and made these elaborate organizational systems. All to throw it out the window a week later and We only have 10 min left, so I'm gonna skip a little bit. So enhancing data collection. I did a session last year on QR codes and data collection. You can find it on the website. I will give you the link. If you need more information than that and want to really get into QR codes and data collection. Drop me a line because This was the most efficient way. For me to keep student data with securely. Going from school to school. And schooled a home. Without the possibility of losing student paperwork. In the parking lot. Or in the grocery store. When I've opened my trunk and a strong wind has blown and papers. Or a bag has broken and fallen out of the car. So there's some examples here of setting up data collection with Google Forms. Progress monitoring through Perkins. This is an amazing article, so I didn't want to go through it all again for you. There's a video. Oh, and if you're not using Grammarly. Meet Grammarly Go, your go-to solution for getting quality work done quickly. Here's a quick video. Grammarly for reports. Is amazing. Most of the time We go from forms to sheets like we did on the mileage. This video flips the script. It is how you can take your sheets where you have your students goals and objectives. And make them into forms. So that like you collect your mileage, you can collect your data. On a Google Form. And then have that nice sheet. For example, If this was actually a student data sheet. It automatically generates these nice graphs. It is very, very easy for a parent to see when you show them a pictorial graph, what progress their child is making if you've recorded those on. These tools. So I found that very powerful for me to share information with parents is to have those. Graphs automatically generated by collecting. My data through Google forms. The QR codes for tracking. I use QR code monkey. But here's an example. She only charges $2 for it, but you can create your own. She keeps a student list with a QR code assigned to each student and it takes you right to their data form. And I've used this, not this specific one, I had my own, but I've used this technique. And it is nice. Instead of carrying one folder for every student, you can have an attendance sheet. Or a datasheet. And scan it and have one sheet to carry and do your data on. So it's a very nice. Streamlined. Technique. Let's see, we are almost out of time. If you're tracking materials, you're giving materials out to students. Asset Tiger is free. For tracking materials you can input your items. I'll show you a picture of that. You input your items, you can pull them in through a spreadsheet if you already have a spreadsheet of your your items. You assign it a number. And you are able to check in and check out devices to students. If it's broken, you can say it's broken and out for repair. If you have it on a maintenance schedule, so if you have a a maintenance agreement with a company. And They will fix things for free within that maintenance agreement. You can track the data on that maintenance agreement and say, oh, we've got 5 items at the maintenance agreement is running out. We need to deal with that. And that's what I make the maintenance check looks like. This is one of the reports. You can assign it to students. You can see what it is. So no matter what your. No matter who takes over, you can see you have. A battery charger that's checked out. You have an Adobe suite that's available for a student to check out or you have a brownout touch for a student to check out. I've used this program for a about 8 or 9 years now and I love it for checking and checking out and keeping track of my devices. So the last one before we in is self-care. You guys take your lunch breaks. Take your bio breaks. I know we, joked that we were always the ones that knew where the best. Restrooms were at the gas stations. It's not always bucky's. But we know where the cleanest ones are. There's meditation apps you can have that minute in your car if it's just to breathe Seated exercises you can do to get your blood moving. If you're not healthy, you can't help your kids. So take that time to be. To be mindful of. Your own health. Sing and dance like nobody's watching. My car was my bubble, whether somebody in the parking lot could see me or not. I was screaming, crying, singing, dancing. It didn't matter just to release that. Use that bubble. Here's an article that I've linked here on. Beginning of the year stress. And how to how to kind of help yourself get a balance going. So definitely, you know, again, you can't help your kids. If you're not healthy yourself. The this is my outreach. I'm sorry, my dogs had decided to invade me. They're pushing my Chair. Okay. So we have our AT. Here you will find a link to my live binder, which is in progress all of last year's T times are archived in this live binder. You will also find Braille note touch lesson plans if you need them. And announcements. September eleventh, we will be releasing the bridge course for TBIs for the Braille note touch. It is finally going live September eleventh. If you need chameleon lesson plans, I've only got the first 5 up here and and a couple of down here, but. Those lesson plans are there. We've got some help documents. All of my star testing information will be updated there as we get information. If you need items that are by grade level for assistive technology, here's a good resource. We've got some legal stuff. I can't explain it all right now, so. Check it out. Again, 9 11 our new bridge course. If you need information from that course now, say you're starting with a student right now, contact me and I will send you the hard copy of the course. And then you can start the course on 9 11. You can use it, use the hard copy until then. So if you're in dire straits and have a student who's using a brownout touch and you need that right now, let me know. Atia has new courses available. So the link here is for their, their coursework for credits.
