We actually need to use Google Docs quite a bit for both the middle school PTO and for Kiddo’s online Piano lessons.

Kiddo Zooms piano lessons from his smart phone. I’ve been Zooming when volunteering online for the Warnock & Ossoff campaigns here in Georgia.

Kiddo started virtual online school in March 2020 and will continue to do so.
