Over in another land of online conversation and contemplation, there's a growing pool of reflection and whakaaro around what we can takeaway from COVID-19 and keep, tweak, lose or improve going forward @ Covid-19 Lessons learned going forward. A big huge thank you to @markmaddren for sharing your blog connections as well.

- By Tessa GrayVery helpful things to remember/consider. Thanks :-)
- By Kath DelahuntyMany thanks Lynne, Linda and Chrissie. A great summary and very pertinent reminders as we all come to grips with how we can keep all of our students learning now and in the future

Thanks Perry and Tessa. I really hope that a significant number of teachers make the most of this opportunity to reflect on our practice and revisit our original reason for becoming teachers. Was it really to get NCEA passes to make our school look good? Putting students back at the centre of everything we do must be our goal. We can each make a change, we don't need to wait for our school or our colleagues. Simply putting stuff online to keep them busy isn't helpful. If it wasn't appropriate for f2f it is most likely less appropriate for remote learning.

A blog from Maurie Abraham outlining what HPHS has done to prepare for online learning - interesting he calls it 'off-site' rather than 'online' which I think shifts the emphasis and the focus from all learning needing to be online...

I was thinking about the same book last week too.
The 3 UDL Principles are a great place to start our thinking.
What ways are we designing and supporting learner variability online.. starting with our learners at the centre and what we know about them in this context.

Thanks, Clive - was just having a discussion with a teacher about synchronous and asynchronous online learning so this is very timely!
