Distance Learning
As schools were closed at short notice last week ,schools in their own unique context prepared for Distance Learning. Schools are at various points on the curve. No doubt we are all doing the very best for our colleagues and pupils in previously unseen circumstances. Leading teaching and learning at this time can be challenging.
The Digital Learning Committee have through www.twitter.com/napd_digitallearning shared information suggestions and ideas. We are the first to recognise that there are others best placed to support schools on Distance Learning at this time. We say thank you to Anthony Kilcoyne et al at https://www.pdsttechnologyineducation.ie/en/ for all that they continue to do.
There is quite an amount of collaboration going as well as an exchange of ideas . On twitter there are two hashtags one may wish to follow #edshareie and also #edchatie
This is quite a dynamic situation and the only certainty is that events are changing exponentially.
Bearing in mind “the wisdom of the crowd” if colleagues wish to share any information or ideas, please feel free to email us digitallearning@napd.ie where we will happily share.
We wish you continued success.

One item we are keen to trial is a “@NAPD_DL Recommends”.
To that end if you feel you’d like to share the name of a book, podcast, Ted Talk etc that has a Technology/Education interest, then we’d most definitely would like to hear from you. Please complete the form below.
We look forward to continued engagement with all School Leaders around the country.
