The new alternative to Todaysmeet
If you have been looking for an alternative to TodaysMeet and haven't found one you like, give Yo Teach! a try. The option to have students draw on a whiteboard and insert those drawings into a chat is simply fantastic. In a math class you could have students
show their work or highlight a portion of a problem on which they need help. You can also insert a drawing to aid an explanation.

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Did you know…You should give your wireless router a name? Do not use the default name provided by the manufacturer or internet service provider. Give it an unusual name not associated with you or your address. Have fun with it! Using another name will make
it harder for hackers to identify the make and model of your router.
