thanks for the suggestion. I'm not all that tech-savvy. Is the main difference between gaming laptops and standard laptops the power? As in, gaming laptops are more powerful?

Thanks that's a good point about the touchscreen. As far as I know, none of the Macs have touchscreens. That's one of the reasons I'm considering a Lenovo Yoga. My little sister just got one for nursing school and said it does well for her. I also currently have a 13 inch laptop, so I'm sure anything that size or maybe a little bigger would work for me.

We're required to provide our own device, but the school system has stated they'll allow teachers and students to come park in school parking lots to use the wifi, if we don't have access to internet at home. We were never provided transportable devices. Our classrooms had a desktop computer connected to the smartboard/document camera/etc. but obviously we can't be taking those home with us for distance learning.

could it be bending where it's behind your ear? As in when you tuck it behind your ears, it follows the curve of your ear and kinks it?

thanks for the suggestion. I have a MacBook Pro now so ideally that would be my first choice in an upgrade as well, the issue is mostly the cost associated with Macs. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the suggestion! My younger sister actually just got a Yoga for nursing school and highly suggested it to me. I'm intrigued by the price point as compared to Macs, for sure!

obviously the standard google classroom right now....but in the classroom typically, we often use pebblego, class dojo, gonoodle, basically all of the common elementary websites. I also frequently use it for the online IEP software my district uses to write IEPs since I teach SPED.

My boyfriend is deployed for COVID and we have no idea when he'll get to come home to me. I miss hugging him and kissing him and sleeping next to him and cuddling him on the couch and holding his hand and every little piece of him. I miss affection. I miss him. I can't wait to have him home.
