I did make a dual boot switch to Linux. Been really liking it so far, but I'm sad to realize that Adobe doesn't really work with it :(

I'll either have to keep windows on a partition, or I'll have to use a Virtual Machine for adobe in linux, neither of which feel awesome, but... What can you do?

Switching to Davinci Resolve is something I tried earlier, but I found it a bit clunky

Been considering doing that myself, but am worried I'm not tech-y enough

Same. It's like the one thing where I am a total boomer on

Reminds me of how everything on a computer used to be a "program", but now they're all just "apps"

Upon further inspection; The music teachers already have a Mac there, so setting up AirDrop is honestly a wonderful idea that we'll look further into. Thank you so much!

Oooh, excellent idea. I'll look into viability of airdropping. Most of our current machines at work are windows machines, so.. while it probably could work, ease of use is also an important aspect when so many of the teachers are a step below tech savvy.

Not to mention ease of use for the pupils who are often even more tech illiterate.

I'll look into it. Thank you!

Not a bad idea. I'll ask! Thank you

There are only two iPads and various student groups who rotate between classes. Group 1 might be in place mondays and thursdays, group 2 on tuesdays and wednesdays.

The software is garage band, and the students all have their own computers, but they're not supposed to bring those to music class because it's too bulky for 30 kids to all bring their laptops and so on.

Votes by mail sound a bit risky to me as well. I know the postal service has lost packages and stuff before. Are there special envelopes? Special ways to tell that the vote hasn't been lost or "lost"?

Also, is it at least free? Postage already paid for?

That sounds a little complicated as well, so it seems that might be a barrier to entry as well.

I can also imagine that people who have to work extra to make ends meet might not have the luxury of taking time off to vote?
