Life Update: October 2020
Hi y’all, I’ve been sitting down yesterday and today making plans for content, but I also wanted to share what’s been going on in my life and why I haven’t been posting as much as I normally want to. I actually ended up filming a Youtube Video and wanted to let ya’ll know to subscribe so that you could be the first to know when I post a new video! I’ll be posting a few school videos this weekend (specifically math related) so be on the lookout for those!). xx, Lindsey Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Youtube | Bloglovin’

New School Year
Hello to the 2020-2021 school year! Life has been crazy so far, but I have successfully made it through the first 4 days with students. Obviously, we don’t know what the future holds, and sadly in a district that is always short on subs, the likelihood of another COVID “shut down” (aka force to go all virtual) is very high. I’ve been spending the first few days conquering technology and teaching my kids how to use Canvas. Which, I love Canvas. I use it at UVA; however, Canvas recently started allowing more Google integration. It’s way more steps to do integrate things like Google docs instead of a word doc.…

A Review of Skillshare
Hi y’all, I recently had a trial from Skillshare and I wanted to share with y’all my opinion before you spend $99 a year for a membership. First things first, it is mostly a membership site. You can get away with not paying and viewing free videos; however, that option is limited. For me, I cannot justify spending $99 a year or $8.25/month for the premium version.

Planning for the New Year
HI y’all,I’m really trying to get back into my planning kick. You see, I was always super organized when it came to school (during Undergrad and before). With real life, I find that I rarely open my planner and then miss things or have to re-organize my day based on that. I don’t like using a digital planner/calendar. I often just use them to find out when I have something (like my observations or other school important things) and then transfer it to my Day Designer by Blue Sky. Then, I make the ultimate mistake: I don’t open my planner again. I think this is happening for a few reasons:I…

The Highs and Lows of Technology in Classrooms
Hi y’all,I’ve been finishing up the first half of my first year of teaching! EEK. It’s so hard to believe that I’ve worked so hard for something and have made such a big dream of mine come true! Anyway, I wanted to talk about the highs and lows of technology. I use technology almost (if not every single) day in my classroom. Technology can be super useful and create a unique learning experience that sticks with students. However, it can also quickly become the bane of a teacher’s existence. Some of the high’s I’ve found with technology as a teacher:1. Quick response/communication. I remember back to when I was in…
