Wow @sudsnz at least the coastline won't erode their #onlinelearning classrooms. A time for schools to take stock of bricks & mortar and consider #flexiblelearning

[Resilience Challenge @ResilienceNSC]

Stark comparison of historical vs recent coastline at Oamaru, from our Coastal team's erosion mapping project. Note the reduced size of the field in front of the school. ⬇

All is not well in Camp Crimson. MoE stats from July 2020 show 12 students. How do you create a global business off the back of that? #educationisnotabusiness https://t.co/VJI78or9dG

Really interesting timeline visualisation of the affect of Covid19 on education world wide affecting over a billion learners. https://t.co/jGmGfi0RZn not quite uptodate for NZ #covid19 #education

@htsbaldwin @dwenmoth Because our last National ICT Strategy was over a decade ago and the last time it was discussed was in 2012 Inquiry into 21st century learning environments and digital literacy. Sure ICT is a part of everything, but it gets dropped off the radar with no clear focus.

[Rachel Whalley @rache65]

Where’s the evidence? https://t.co/7lDWNKym7Z #education @dwenmoth I am challenged that despite the work we have put in over two decades we are not much further ahead. There has been a big gap in strategy & policy in recent years that has held us back.

[Rachel Whalley @rache65]

[Rachel Whalley @rache65]

@virtuallykaren Fostering the will to work collectively - there in lies the challenge and not just for LSC. Keep walking the talk so others may follow x

[Rachel Whalley @rache65]

@virtuallykaren There's a whole new network developing in NZ through LSC. Hope to see this build our collective capacity in our education system and be effective in working in and across schools 👍 Interested to see how this makes a difference moving forward.

[Rachel Whalley @rache65]

Thanks @dwenmoth Lessons from Lockdown https://t.co/eNut4Gk95S I have been reading all these reports, your summary is really useful to feed into planning for @NZNex 'Design for Online' series starting next week https://t.co/rSgOSbo1MU
