Michelle Saville, Eta Chapter President, will present Instructional Technology Tools for the Busy Teacher during the State Society Workshop on November 7. The Society Workshop begins at 10:00 with Dr. Lace Brogden, DKG International First Vice President, as speaker. Then two concurrent sessions will follow.
During Michelle's workshop you will learn technology tips that support instruction in the virtual, hybrid, and in-person learning environments. The LMS (Learning Management System) Schoology and other tech apps and resources will be shared to include Seesaw, Bitmoji classrooms, and Epic books. The ideas shared will support early childhood educators, but can be applied to any grade level. Suzi Plaut, Alpha Gamma, will present A Sneak Peak in the 2020 Virtual Classroom. Do you wonder: how teachers teaching? How teachers are handling 26 students on Zoom? What does a classroom look like in 2020? This session is specifically designed for people not currently teaching. Get an inside peek into how teachers are navigating our jobs in this "new" environment. No tech skills required! Join the DKG MD Virtual Society Workshop! It will be conducted on Zoom.

Dear ETA Sisters: I am hoping that this letter finds you and your family well. As we are all aware of the current restrictions of the COVID-19 Pandemic, our organization is being affected by those same restrictions as well. Though right now we are not able to safely meet in person, we can still play an active role in our community, state organization, and support one another during this time. As I begin my first year as Eta Chapter President, my theme will be, “Sprinkle Kindness and Support.” My goal during this upcoming year will be for us to provide support to each other and spread kindness to those around us. Our first way to spread kindness and support will be through our annual Operation Christmas Child Project. This project will look a little different this year. You can participate in 4 ways:
I am looking forward to each of you participating in this worthwhile annual project. Although it will be slightly different this year, Eta Chapter can still make a difference for these children all around the world. If we do not have your email, please send me an email at [email protected] so we can add your email to Eta Chapter’s contact list. I would like to be able to have a virtual meeting in December or January and you will need to provide an email address in order to participate. Enclosed with this letter is an Operation Christmas Child donation list and a current membership contact list with addresses and phone numbers. I encourage you to make a difference in a child’s life and/or in the community as you advance our purposes. Please continue to be well, and take care of yourself and your families.
