TEACHER SHARE
Thanks to Carol Halebian for sharing this with us:
Thanks to Carol Halebian for sharing this with us:
This Washington Post article contains an excellent video describing the history of
birthright citizenship. I'm going to use this with the branches of government,
the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Amendments.
You can also go directly to Youtube and put in--- The fight for birthright citizenship in
American Washington Post. It's two minutes and 30 seconds long and contains captions.
Regards, Carol

Poor time management is one of the most debilitating bad habits of any profession and especially for educators. We have so much to do and so little free time to accomplish it that many of us often feel overwhelmed and stressed.

CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
NRS Level 1 students at New Dorp, one of the southernmost branches in our program. Thanks Porsche Linwood for sharing!
Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org

GOOGLE RESOURCES

| From the blog: |
A few weeks ago I published a chart of G Suite for Education shortcuts that included directions on how to quickly access the various tools within Google Drive. It appears that I need to add onto that chart because a couple of days ago Google introduced a new batch of shortcuts for making new Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Forms, and Sites. In a Tweet on Thursday Google revealed that you can now simply type "doc.new" in your web browser to launch a new blank Google Document. That same structure can be used to create new Slides, Sheets, Forms, and Sites. Take a look at the Tweet embedded below for a visual.
