Distance Learning
This document will support distance learning.
Things To Think About
Keep things simple.
Make sure your class sites are easily accessed from your school page.
Check your site is public to everyone. Check the visibility using the incognito window.
Think about what your priorities are and do them well. Use Google Meets to connect with your students, not teach all your content.
Some of the most successful activities during distance learning have been ones that involve the whole whānau.
How do you plan to encourage collaboration so that students are staying connected?
Make sure lessons are robust enough, with clear instructions so that they can be completed independently. Screencastify can be used for longer instructions.
Are learners motivated and will they stay engaged? Commenting on student blogs is one way to keep engagement up.
How will you check in on students' wellbeing?
Give lots of opportunities to create rather than just consume. Remember that not everything has to be online. This is a great opportunity to think outside the box!
