As we come to the end of our 4th week of remote teaching and learning in Lockdown 3.0, we thought we should review how it has been going for each of us. We have both had to approach remote learning differently, based on our school policies. Today we discuss the pros and cons of each approach, as well as our general tips and advice for dealing with this new style of teaching!
