Learning Online.

Online learning, Wow who would have thought we would be teaching from the comfort of our own homes. The first week brought home the reality that this had actually happened and we were going to be in lockdown for 4 weeks. After a few days of getting myself and family prepared for the weeks ahead, that first week was suddenly over. The second week my colleagues and I discussed how we wanted online learning to look like for our students. I work in an ILE with 3 other teachers who are absolutely amazing and in times such as this, it has been most comforting knowing that we have all come together to support each other to create an online learning site that was easy for our students to navigate. We have videos of the teachers giving instructions, explaining maths strategies, writing genre, and of course a little help from online activities.

Our second week became the first week of our school holidays. This meant finding ways the students could still be learning, but just in a fun, relaxed, no-pressure way, that would help keep the students interested in learning online. So our wonderful teachers came up with this Holiday Learning Journey



This allowed the students to choose a variety of learning challenges and an opportunity to earn points for prizes and certificates, while still learning online.
