Know Better, Do Better
Carrie talks about the idea of gender fluidity and non-binary identification with prefixes in the music room. Specifically, she is considering times where she can substitute the prefix Mx. for Mr. or Ms./Mrs./Miss (ie: Little Mx. Muffet vs. Little Miss Muffet).
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Tanya recommends explore the new tab function of Google Docs. This feature allows you to have multiple pages that are easy to access in one doc - very helpful with lesson planning documents.
