Good afternoon everyone, 

We are trying to look for the positive in this school shutdown situation and deepen our training systems (from a distance) for our staff members. Do any of you have webinar platform recommendations? What have you found to work/ not work? If our staff attends a pre-recorded training does it time/date stamp their attendance? 

We would like to use the training as paid time to alleviate financial difficulties since we are not allowed in schools. 

Thanks for any help!

Hi Debi,

In addition to Zoom, which has a bit more "bells and whistles" such as recording sessions, "break out" rooms, and more with paid options, Google Meet is a reliable option that can be used on desktops and mobile apps. 
Google Meet is free and real simple to use. The person initiating the video chat/phone call needs a google account but those that join don't.

Be well everyone.

Hi John,

I am writing to see if you are aware of a huge movement that is suddenly growing to reinvigorate the whole idea of Victory Gardening in a very big way. Nate Kleinman founder of the Experimental Farm Network, convened a large group of us about a week ago to begin working on this and we have named the project the Cooperative Gardening Commission. The New York Times and Civil Eats have already picked up on the movement and interviewed Nate yesterday - things are moving very quickly. I am on the education working group for the effort and we are beginning to assimilate educational resources to get knowledge out to the public in what we hope to become a sweeping national gardening awakening - having worked in school garden education for quite a while, and being a part of the working groups on school garden support organizations, I think of the work you have spearheaded and am thinking that if you are not already a part of this nascent movement, that we should talk about ways that you can be - I'm sure you have your hands very very full at the moment. I'm happy to talk more about this with you or put you in touch with Nate.

hope you are staying well, 

Kind Regards,
Hannah Traggis

don't know if anyone here is using webinars for teaching kids but if anyone is,... just a suggestion/reminder to teach basic hygiene which prevents infections from spreading of not only covid-19 but when farming E. coli is something to be aware of

simple-personal-hygiene-tips-for-kids.jpg



to understand why washing of hands is very important please take a moment to watch a video that graphically illustrates how easily the covid-19 virus can spread

How the coronavirus hitches a ride around your life 
(interview UCLA prof Z Hong Zhou, PhD)

the demonstration shows plain old soap and water is able to clean off hands AS WELL AS grime off of fruits and veg

WRT the pandemic, there is little or no need to use disinfection wipes while inside AND please keep in mind that flushing wipes down the toilet will cause plumbing in the building to become clogged (which is a problem we all don't want or need)


AND one other health issue to consider is alcohol/bleach (as a disinfectant) will damage skin,... does a surgeon dip their hands in a vat of alcohol/bleach before an operation? nope they scrub up!

Why soap is preferable to bleach in the fight against coronavirus

...No matter what you touch, soap and water is the best way to remove any potential coronavirus from your hands before it can lead to infection. The coronavirus does not penetrate through skin because your outermost layer is slightly acidic, which prevents most pathogens from entering the body

Soap works so effectively because its chemistry pries open the coronavirus’s exterior envelope and cause it to degrade. These soap molecules then trap tiny fragments of the virus, which are washed away in water.


lastly please take the time and watch a thoughtful video presentation that shows why drastic measures are needed (like asking people to stay at home) to prevent the further spreading  of the virus,... basically if too many people become ill, it will overwhelm the system

The Science Behind the Coronavirus 
(Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong)

Thanks, Ben!  I’m sending supplies to my webinar participants & have included instructions for them to wash their hands after opening the mail and setting up their supplies and will remind them at the end to wash their hands as well.

sonya,

discussing hygiene w/ colleagues/students is a good idea (especially given the pandemic) but so too is knowledge about the virus itself,... about how long it can survive on different surfaces

how long does the virus survive.png

so just another suggestion to be on the safe side,... set aside mail for a day before opening it

FWIW here is some more food for thought
