	<description><![CDATA[<p>Over lockdown, taiohi (students) had a taste of freedom. When asked what they enjoyed most about learning from home, responses included, more time to learn, flexibility of what to learn and when, <span style="font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, &quot;Lucida Grande&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">comfortable spaces.</span>&nbsp;They also loved the connection of sharing their learning with their parents/whānau and accessing more digital content and resources. They missed each other and&nbsp;social interaction at school. So what are some <a href="https://vln.school.nz/discussion/view/989471">valuable takeaways from Covid-19</a>?</p><p>Now, that we&#39;re back at school, there are plenty of things we can do to enable&nbsp;students to have more choice, voice and flexibility in their learning. Here&#39;s one example of how this is scaffolded at Myross Bush School. Here, students are eased into <em>driving their own learning</em> with flexible learning spaces and learner licenses to help nurture more student-directed learning and learner agency.</p><h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://edtalks.org/#/video/developing-active-learners">EDtalks: Developing active learners</a> Mar 28, 2014, 5 minutes<br />
