Adjusting to Remote Learning

I am sure I am not the only parent to mutter obscenities about remote learning this week. It is life and we need to get on with it, but there is no point in mincing words. IT SUCKS!!!!
 
It sucks for everyone – parents, teachers and most importantly kids. My jarjums are doing so well adjusting to this temporary style of learning but I can tell they miss their friends and the social aspects of school. I am just not as cool as their friends! We are trying to focus on the positives – like how Mr 6 has been able to focus on improving his handwriting and Mr 9 is increasing his ICT skills.
 
For me one of the positives has been the number of parents who have contacted to share how much both them and their child are enjoying using Wingaru Kids. Parents who are enjoying learning with their children because they have not had access to Aboriginal education before; parents who appreciate the change of pace that Wingaru Kids brings to home learning; parents who are happy that their child is able to access meaningful learning experiences in this trying time; and parents who love that their learner is so engaged.
 
For many, this is the first time they have seen Wingaru Kids in action and I love that people are reaching out. I don’t often get to hear what parents of school kids think about our resources so it has been lovely to receive the positive feedback about the hard work our team has put in to create the platform.
 
We don’t know how long remote learning will go for but I hope it is quick. Not only because my family are keen to get back to school but because often remote learning means that learning focuses on a narrow part of education and kids miss out on some of the meaningful experiences that are offered in a classroom. Aboriginal education is one of the areas that becomes less of a priority and while I understand why, it doesn’t have to be this way. 
 
Wingaru Kids provides lessons that meet curriculum outcomes from all key learning areas and supports remote learning in a number of ways:
Picture
Individual accounts for every student that can be logged in from any device with a browser.

Complete lessons that simplify assigning work for teachers as well as making navigating work for students and parents.
Picture
Engaging lessons that provide a welcome change of pace for learners and parents
Picture
Real time mark-book means teachers can see student progress quickly and easily.

Activities to support literacy skills
Picture
A range of worksheets and resources that can be printed and included in resource packs being sent home or emailed to students

Self-guided - Informative videos contain all the information kids need to complete the activities.
​If you are participating in the Heal Country Challenge, check out our sample plans to guide you on the lessons that will support you to complete the Challenge despite the disruption of remote learning.
