Online In Class Facilitation 

Are you ready to move online if you needed to?  We got pretty good at using Google Meet and delivering our lessons online during COVID but do our students still hold that same level of digital fluency.  As a teacher, how confident are you that you could seamlessly switch to distance learning?  

If you'd like to brush up on your skills, contact your local facilitator and talk to them about the kind of support available.
