Last month, I received an email from Securly, the student monitoring company, informing me that I could watch my kid's actions on the district-provided iPad for "real-time peace of mind." Then I was enrolled in a weekly Securly update.

Wondrous first full day of #ncss2024!
We always forget how HUGE this event always feels, but really it's the *tiny* moments
of run-ins with colleagues from far away
of connections with strangers at an exhibition booth
of epiphanies when someone says a thing during a session
That's all priceless

You can save a Canva design to Google Drive and open in Google Slides. It takes several clicks, and the fonts and formatting might not match the original.
Why do this? Perhaps you want your design stored in Google Drive, or sharing/collaboration works better for you in Slides. #EduSky #EdTech
