The helpdesk assists leaders, teachers, kaiako, and whānau from schools, kura, and early childhood centres to make full use of the online environments and resources, as they provide for a continuity of learning for their students and tamariki during the lockdown.

• Online support to assist:

  • principals, leadership teams, and teachers to select and use appropriate tools and strategies to communicate, maintain learning programmes effectively across their community, and manage online safety.

There are a number of sites within the MOE TKI websites that can support you, as they do in a regular classroom setting.

TKI Literacy Online - helping primary and secondary teachers develop teaching and learning programmes based on the literacy needs of their learners, including instructional reading material.

Enabling E-learning - Bringing together relevant information, resources, and communities to support teachers and schools in developing their e-learning practice. This site has a good focus on flipped learning - rethinking classrooms for an online approach.

To also support childrens’ well being, a new tool for parents and teachers called ‘Sparklers at Home’ has been launched, so if you have little ones in your bubble, I’d recommend checking out these activities at https://sparklers.org.nz.
