Earlier, I posted about a padlet I've made to share some great resources that can help families.
Another thing that many teachers are doing at the moment is making videos for their classes. Now, the first thing to say is there are LOTS of great videos and tutorials out there already (Khan Academy is one noteable example). Teachers and leaders should think carefully about the choices they are making and whether new videos are needed. I've created a number of tutorials based on what I've learnt to help teachers who may be making videos for the first time. Working from home and trying to connect with our pupils, and help them learn, is a new experience for many of us so wherever we can help each other out, I think we should. These videos are all one-take so are a little rough around the edges but I hope others find them useful and save themselves some time! Take a look at the playlist here. I'll be adding videos as I find other useful top tips. If there's something you don't know how to do that might help with remote learning then please get in touch. If I do know then I'll create a 'how to' video, and if I don't I'll try and work it out!

It's a whole new world out there. (Or in here, I suppose, since most of us are confined to the inside of our own homes).
Anyway, for most schools this whole 'remote learning' or 'distance learning' malarkey is a whole new ball game. Many schools are using Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Seesaw and other online platforms to set work, teach lessons and keep in contact with pupils. There are lots of generous people out there running online classes and posting resources to help children and parents in these unprecedented and uncertain times. I have started to compile these resources into one central bank for families to access. If you know someone who may benefit from this padlet, please share it! Here's the link: https://padlet.com/rholmesKSA/HLR. Anyone is able to add a resource (I just need to approve it so that every post is appropriate) so if you know of something worthwhile for families to access at home then please add it too. The more people that add to this padlet and share it with their colleagues as well as families they know and work with, the more useful this resource becomes. I've also created a short video explaining how the Padlet works for our pupils. It's not perfect but is a quick one-take explanation to support access at home. Here's the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAVi-sJ-35c |
