Hi All
I shared this with our staff at the beginning of the lockdown - a list of a few key chrome extensions and some other apps that could make working remotely a little bit easier.
It's only a short list but it may be of use to some.

4 ways students enjoy success in NCEA
1. Course design -Early "runs on the board" builds trust and confidence
2. Agency -Involve students in decision-making about their learning
3. Assessment -Consider multiple forms of evidence
4. Relevancy -Show connections/knowledge transfer
