Many 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.

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.
