REMOTE LEARNING – TEACHING AND LEARNING

 

We are living in extraordinarily challenging times.  We are, however, trying to ensure that our students are able to progress in their learning, even though we are not face-to-face.  Below, is a collection of resources recommended by teachers.   They have been organised into categories, but many cover more than one curriculum area.

 

Please use the blog to add any further resources for others to use or to comment on any of these resources.  This is a good way to help one another.

LEARNING METHODOLOGIES

CONTENT-CREATION

TEDEd

https://ed.ted.com/

This site provides a platform to enable teachers to create their own content to share but also has animated videos on a wide range of topics that can be used as a resource to spark ideas for activities.

The TED masterclass would enable you  to create and share your own TED Talk as a resource.
