Tech Challenges in a Virtual World

As so many students and teachers begin the year in a virtual space, it should not be surprising that there will be technical failures. In fact, you should plan for it. Quick, before you go too deep into your year, make sure everyone knows what to do in the event of a “Zoom bomber” or if their video goes down, or if your video goes down. Planning for and practicing for these contingencies will help to ensure that when they actually happen, they are far less disruptive than they could be.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?”
