And then I don’t have to verbally go over all of this every single year. I like to skip the protocols and go straight to the content, but I know how important the protocols are.

And the tutorials would explain all of the basics, and students grow their characters by completing tutorials and if a student says “I don’t know how to access X” you could just refer them back to Tutorial 7 on Level 3.

So instead of talking through it like normal (dull), students have an app, sort of like duolingo, where they have to start at Level 1 and go through tutorials and short quizzes to “level up” and unlock new tasks. “Congrats, you have now unlocked LAB REPORTS! Please complete Tutorial 12 before…”

Hi! Saw this post because I also love Bird Buddy. A few times, I’ve had European Starlings in my yard and yes they are so cool! But they also flock, so I had about 50!!! and they ate me out of house and home in a matter of hours! They are cool - but I’m glad they don’t stop by ALL the time.

Good lord if that isn’t the million dollar question. Right now, I’m mostly unplugged because I can’t handle it, but giving myself a predetermined amount of time to read the news. And then it’s back to unplugged. I don’t have a good answer, but I feel you and I understand.

Heeeey and we’re off tomorrow!
