@JeanetteViljoen This was so much fun! Thank you for all the handholding. I’m such a newbie that I forgot that I had a Twitter bio. You are incredible! #ZAedu

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

@kimranwell Wonderful to have you here Kim.

#ZAedu Tribe, we are going to keep the conversation going with #SlowChat q’s this week. Watch this space...

[Lindsay Wesner @LadyWesner]

@JeanetteViljoen & @yasmotani you have some #SlowChat q's lined up for us to keep chatting about over the coming week, right? #ZAedu

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

Our next #ZAedu Twitter chat will be on Wednesday 25 November. Watch this space and follow the #ZAedu hashtag!

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

It’s not official until its on Twitter! Thank you @MsMorrisTeach and @LadyWesner for the opportunity :)

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

I have learnt so much from all of you. Thank you for your incredible insights. This #ZAedu community has helped me to feel connected during the crisis. You guys are so much better than Google :D

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

@ajegbers I love this Anthony! Be there like you always have...

Q5: Share the BEST advice or meme that has helped you with your own mental and/or physical wellness journey during #remoteLearning & #lockdown. What gave you that much-needed permission to switch off and #recharge? #ZAEdu

@BronwynWrites That makes a lot of sense Bronwyn, but I do find that some really young children have an incredibly capacity to feel empathy.

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

@NancyinLux1 Thank you for joining Nancy! Look forward to seeing you again on the next #ZAedu Twitter chat.

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

A5: The best advice that I got in this time is that everyone is going through a crisis - it’s not just you. The world is struggling. Be kind - and be kind to yourself. Do what you can, but take care of you!

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

@ToddShriver @LadyWesner @MsMorrisTeach @Twitter @Lonks9 @Pam_Macmillan @RFaltermeier @LindaBradfield @glynnismoore @AshErnstzen @ThangoLee Thank you for joining Todd. It was wonderful learning from you :) Look forward to seeing you on many more #ZAedu Twitter chats.

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

Such important advice!

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

Sounds like an incredible challenge!

[Lindsay Wesner @LadyWesner]

A4: Inviting learners to conduct interviews and construct #empathy maps as a way to connect to another's reality!

Wondering if we could connect some of our privileged learners with those in schools like @hayesr66's & foster empathy as a start to solution design thinking. #ZAedu

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

@JeanetteViljoen @MsMorrisTeach I think that we have such important learning happening as well that is not in our curriculum. Our Ss are seeing us struggle, persevere, problem-solve and collaborate. They have seen us at our most vulnerable. I think this is an important lesson for them #ZAedu

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

A4: COVID gives us such an opportune time to become aware of our interdependence. We are in it together, and working together… We need to remind our students of this. #ZAEdu

[Yasmin Motani @yasmotani]

Q4: How can we “teach” and/or develop #empathy for our students? What are your go-to strategies? #ZAEdu
