As #educators in an online setting, we must ensure that we minimize the amount of “clicks” that when we organize our virtual learning environments. They should be simple, clear and user friendly, especially for our primary students students with special needs and their families.

Using release conditions, @D2L #brightspace allows educators to customize messaging and access to learning resources that are responsive to all students, especially beneficial for students with special needs, IEPs, giftedness, etc. 💡Super brilliant!

In times of crisis trust is always strengthened or weakened --it is never neutral. Be role models--trust yourself and others.

Kindness is the noble posture that school leaders must assume in order to create meaningful relationships with staff, students, parents and the community.
