BSN News & Jobs - @ Home

The British School in The Netherlands - News & Jobs
We’ve almost completed a second week of working from home (though, it feels like much longer). It’s tough, but we’ve got this! We are making it work.

What’s been helping?

  • Technology (no surprise here): utilising tech that supports remote teaching/learning and connects students to teachers. e.g. leaving verbal feedback using the built in audio recorder on OneNote; continuing our staff meetings via Micosoft Teams
  • Free teaching resources: there plenty around including Khan Academy, BBC Bitesize, Mathematics Mastery etc
  • Mental Health awareness: encouraging each other not to neglect our mental health or that of our children by sharing tips, advice, blogs etc
  • Age-appropriate Corona virus resources: help alleviate fear and anxiety; here’s a good ‘explanimation’.
  • Indoor fitness: tuning in to PE with Joe Wicks, who holds a daily virtual PE lesson on his You Tube Channel, or setting up a circuit in the garden; going for runs and bike rides (while maintaining social distance)
  • Establishing a routine: structure is key
  • Creating a dedicated home office space and making it joyful
  • Being creative: coming up with new ways and new resources to engage children in learning; devising ways of keeping children occupied and finding alternative sources of entertainment.
  • Online entertainment: yes Netflix, but also virtual museum tours and book readings
  • Focusing on the positives; the affect of Corona virus measures on the environment; also, Spring flowers and sunshine ☀️

This is not an exhaustive list. The main thing that has been helping us through is each other: staying connected, appreciating each other, sharing our experiences and a wealth of resources. You can find examples at the end of this newsletter and on Twitter directly: BSNtogether

Scrum with kids. This is helping my children a lot with knowing what to do next and motivating them to get things done. #BSNtogether #BSNTeachLiveLearn https://t.co/e2iCBWCPpk

Absolutely loving the @powerpoint record feature to still teach my #GCSEPE lessons. I upload these recorded lessons into their @OneNoteEDU with some tasks and jobs a good’un! Also @MicrosoftTeams is gold for class discussions and feedback! #BSNTogether #distancelearning https://t.co/GwcVvtWZZ6
