Live Online Live... Some Good News edition!

Yesterday was another awesome LOL session with our CGCC faculty - I'll send everyone the link to the recording as soon as I'm done editing!

If you’ve never watched John Krasinksi’s “Some Good News” on YouTube, you really need to – in the wake of the COVID pandemic outbreak last spring, he sat in his home office and offered some desperately needed balance to all of the bad news that was everywhere by seeking out and sharing Some Good News! He broadcast stories of first responders, spread joy by holding virtual prom and virtual graduation for the Class of 2020, brought together everyday heroes with their personal heroes, and generally created a sense of connectedness to his audience in an unprecedented period of social isolation.

When you think about it, all of you perform much the same activities on a daily basis, reminding your students of their relevance and connectedness not only to the content that you teach them, but also to each other and the world around them. To celebrate that, we here at LOL would love to ask all of you to contribute to our very own CGCC version of SGN!

​Here’s how YOU can contribute:

• Send us a screenshot of you and your students in YOUR Live Online class. Be sure to ask the students their permission first, or let them know that you will be taking their picture and allow those who don’t want to have their picture taken to turn off their cameras!
• Not teaching Live Online? Send a screenshot of an outstanding project, a thoughtful discussion, an engagement activity... we want to know what all of you are doing!
• Send us Some Good News WHENEVER you have something great that’s going on in YOUR class(es)! We don't want this to be a one-time thing - we hope to keep the Good News rolling all year long.

We will be sharing your photos AND your Good News beginning with next week’s Live Online Live… Some Good News Edition, so send them to us as soon as you can! Any win, no matter how small, is something that we want to hear about.
