Hello
In my 6 Rules for Distance Learning, I suggested that teachers focus on teaching the core subjects, (English, Irish and Maths), for the first part of a day, and then integrate the non-core subjects into themed projects. However, instead of 30,000+ teachers creating themed projects every week, wouldn’t it be much more useful if everyone made 1 project and shared it with everyone else, we would have 30,000+ projects to give to our school communities? I’ve created The Project Project to give teachers a space to share their project ideas in an easy to search grid.
