The Daily Q: Zoom

If I were to name a puppy in recognition of the pandemic, I think Zoom would be a good choice.

I Zoom for classes, for meetings, and for family cards.

I Zoom on the treadmill. I Zoom at my desk. I Zoom in the kitchen. I Zoom in pajamas. I Zoom with a cat. I Zoom with a dog. I Zoom with a group. I Zoom alone.

Yesterday I was doing Zoom with 30+ students when Claire decided she was annoyed with Daisy. Therefore, I Zoom in a brawl. [It last ten-seconds and was just a lot of noise — and me dumping my cup of water on them, which the students thought was pretty funny.]

Zoom is so versatile!

This New Normal is all very strange and interesting and mind blowing. And from talking to students yesterday — it is filled with losses.

I Zoom a lot of virtual hugs these days.

And speaking of one I would like to hug — iPup Kidd reminding all of us to Carry On!

Thank you, Marti, for sending along that photo!

I have a nudge for today — for all of us. Get outside. From talking to students about what helps, that seems to be a big one. I commit to doing that — how about you?
