May 2020 Highlights

Have you heard? Nearpod is now available to all Utah educators! Utah teachers and schools can request access through their districts.

This new site consolidates resources for teachers, students, and parents and caregivers. For teachers, learn how to adapt and improve instruction in the distance-learning environment. For parents, learn how to address your children's questions about COVID-19 or the stories they see on the TV news.

UEN is partnering with Spy Hop and their Professional Outreach in Public Schools (POPS) program. Spy Hop's artist mentors have created easy-to-follow video tutorials for STEAM-based projects. 

Jared and Dani are back with another UEN Homeroom. This time we're joined by Sarah Young, Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Utah State Board of Education. The conversation touches upon fun topics like what your Zoom background looks like to when is the appropriate time each day to get dressed. Sarah provides information about how USBE is helping districts deal with addressing student technology needs, how the Digital Teaching and Learning program has helped Utah prepare for distance learning, and what schools may look like next year.
