With the UK in
lockdown over corvid-19, Schools shut, shops closed and businesses struggling.
Therefore I must re-invent myself to survive. Over the last year we have been
producing Educational videos over on our YouTube channel which has been growing
at a steady rate. With the introduction of new technologies we planned and
assessed the possibility of doing online classes but struggling to working out
who was going to watch them.
As many of you are aware the UK Government suspended GCSE and A-Levels exams, which came at a surprise for us and caused much calamity due to the fact exams are a Goal/deadline for most of my students. With the year 11's and Year 13's are going to get their predicted grades for the next step in their education means that I've now lost them. However the Year 10's and 12's are stuck because IF they go back in September they've got to cover 4 terms worth of work in 2!
Now some schools are trying to help with lessons happening on Zoom, Microsoft Team Etc., however its more of a board meeting/roundtable kind of lesson which isn't the great the best kind of lesson. We have also move our 1 to 1 lessons to online also using Webex from Cisco, but more importantly we've got a system to actually broadcast real/proper lessons that you would find in a classroom this is done by utilising multiple points of view and an integrated system of technology to allow learning to take place.

Additionally we're
Live-streaming maths and science lessons going through the whole syllabuses
topic by topic to help those year 10's who aren't receiving any schooling and
we a going to start doing the same for A-Level content to help the year 12's in
their time of need. All I can say is that we are band together to make sure
that we as a people get back on our feet.
Remember to stay safe, wash your hands.
