EdTechSR Ep 173 - Skip That Facebook Quiz

Welcome to episode 173 ("Skip That Facebook Quiz") of the EdTech Situation Room from April 15, 2020, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the ongoing impact of the neo-coronavirus pandemic on schools, Google Chrome Tab Groups, Google Drive Workspaces, and a free extension which can "Zoomify" Google Hangouts Meet videoconferences (in one way). Apple's announcements of the more-affordable iPhone SE and a pretty amazing keyboard with integrated trackpad for the iPad Pro, why taking Facebook quizzes is a bad idea, dangerous VPN apps, and password manager comparisons were also discussed in the show. Geeks of the Week included software to turn your smartphone into a webcam, ways to control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse, "DownDetector" to find out the extent of an Internet service outage, Google's "Teach from Home" resource hub, the "Jumbo" privacy setting assistant app, and a list of recommended "live teaching tools" for remote learning.
