Reflecting on what was discussed in this session.
I feel that I have been able to create a community during this online teaching time. and just like Shelley has mentioned I made a goal in the beginning of the lockdown that I would post a video everyday so that the children would be able to see my face. Just like her, I also believed how important this would be for the children and families.
Although I think it might be a little bit difficult to set up an online live meeting with our children, I think if they are a bit older, this would be possible and that the children might enjoy seeing each other. I think something I can do more of is to share the children's posts so that others can see what everyone else is doing.
It is important to leave comments on children's work so that there are engagements and that it also shows that I value their work and time spent on it.
During this time, I have also made a personalised comment sheet which I used to make it fun and personalised.
