In the starting blocks for post Lockdown.
Thanks for the education inspiration Twitter peeps. Have loved the learning provocations and opportunities shared on this platform over the past 6.5 weeks. Looking forward to seeing our kids tomorrow and activating our 'reset' button. Dress Ups are ready!#imaginenps @Neil_NPS

Love it @JaneTHoye I’m getting the smell of fresh hot cross buns coming down the hallway at the moment. Happy Easter to you.

So I'm thinking that one of the 5 min PLD sessions could focus on "rewrite your pedagogy, not your course". Thoughts? Please! I need some good brains on this one... PS: This is a response to ppl in survey saying they are trying to rewrite courses. #edchatnz

Exhaustion is likely to be because of structure - or lack of it. Keep things shorter! Back off on the assignments! #relearn2020

#relearn2020 How does online learning look like for the much younger kids where the learning is more handson and in smaller groups. Eg helping a 6-7 year old to decode etc (reading).
