Resource hub.When it comes to providing students, children and communities with resources, try to follow the lead from your educational settings. Which platforms do they use already? What are the students familiar with?
We would advise you to be cautious about trying new things for the first few weeks, unless you are confident that these can be accessed appropriately in homes. When you do bring in new lists or materials, only bring in one a day and ensure you signpost help and tutorials. |
