Q2. What are your "go-to" resources for students preparing to enter post-secondary education? (Tag them below😉) #EdChatAfterDark Federal Student Aid Ed LaRose Zac Leonard

I fully agree that the process begins before graduation year. I think planning and early preparation play a factor as well. The ride is smooth when all of the ducks are already in a row 🙌🙌

Q3. Do you feel that graduating students entering the workforce experience FOMO on the college experience? Vice versa? #EdCharAfterDark Ed LaRose Zac Leonard GetThereFL.com #EdChatAfterDark

Half-way there!

So true, either way it turned out successful for you 🙌 Both options present opportunities and make for an exciting venture for the future!

This is inspiring! So many people outside of the education profession ask how we make it through. Being the person I had/needed at such a pivotal time makes it all worthwhile. #edchatafterdark

Q4. What are your suggested coping mechanisms related to the graduation time crunch?#EdChatAfterDark Ed LaRose Zac Leonard MTS • Student Mental Health CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health

I know The Princeton Review was awesome for looking into Universities. I also used RateMyProfessors and I know I like what I see with My Study Life as well.

#EdChatAfterDark Last question of the night!

Q5. How can we encourage students to finish strong despite the potential uncertainty of life after graduation? #EdChatAfterDark

#EdChatAfterDark Thank you for your resources and joining us. I know personally, I will use this feedback to encourage and empower the graduating students that I come across. And as always, thank you to the dream team Ed LaRose and Zac Leonard

Tonight we’re going to talk about our plans to make #2025 the best year ever!! Question 1 coming in 1 min! #edchatafterdark

A1) Personally it is to "lock-in". The neophyte stage of my new position in game design is over and I'm ready to produce some results. We have talented students, and I'm looking forward to having them enter state level competitions revolving around our curriculum.

A2) #EdChatAfterDark "Keep up the pace"! We have an awesome CTE department at WWHS. From a New Teacher Academy to Film Production, they are all redefining academic success. Game & Sim should be in step with the standard that has been set. #GetThere Florida Department of Education

A3) #EdChatAfterDark Our short-term goals should lead us to our major goal of qualifying for FBLA National and SkillsUSA Florida. We've familiarized ourselves with industry leading technology like Unreal Engine 5.4 and honed our side scroll and top down skills with flowlab.io.

A4) #EdChatAfterDark Apply the golden rule! My sphere should rotate with empathy, respect, acceptance and representation.

A5) #EdChatAfterDark I would like to implement the 8-8-8 method. 8 hours of work learning and character development ( game reference, see what I did there 😉), 8 hours of family time and 8 hours of rest/recuperation.

Great time as always! #EdChatAfterDark
