Information for staff

1. PPTA Grant to attend subject conferences in 2021
A number of you have expressed interest in attending your subject area conferences this year. As a way to have more staff attend from school you may want to consider getting pre-approval for funding to cover costs - more information can be found at https://www.ppta.org.nz/pld-fund/grant-to-attend-subject-association-conferences/

2. Here's some news from Google - you will soon be able to save photos directly from Gmail into Google photos - you will see an extra button appear that will make this an easy step.

The roll out has begun so we should see this feature in the new couple of weeks.

3. For those of you who follow Oliver Lovell (@ollie_lovell), he has just released his latest ERRR podcast. The interview is with Peps Mccrea on motivating students.


4. This article on class participation explores how to allow different ways for students to speak up and therefore make the classroom more inclusive. Using digital tools allows students to contribute asynchronously and allows the teacher to monitor understanding.
