NetNZ Board Chair, Michael Campbell, summarises the year from a board perspective

NetNZ continues to mature as an organisation and this is reflected in a number of highlights in 2021

NetNZ has been working with Chris Clay and We Create Futures to fully explore future possibilities so that we place ourselves in an sustainable and influential position. This involves scanning our current context to ensure we have a thorough understanding of what is emerging. The trends and patterns. The challenges and opportunities.

NetNZ is a community of schools from across New Zealand who work together to provide online learning opportunities for their students based on the New Zealand Curriculum.

Our L3 Psychology teachers, Zara and Ange work together to meet the needs of over 40 students. There are no walls online so why create them?

With online learning, because the teacher is not physically present with the students "It is thus essential that the eTeacher provides a clear course structure and makes assessment guidelines explicit, as well as giving regular feedback to the eStudents to enable them to track learning progress." (Lai and Pratt, 2020)

Are we missing the point when we extol the virtues of online learning?

Making the most of the synchronous time with your class.

Who is most present in your online class? And by present, I mean socially and cognitively (Garrison, Anderson, and Archer, 2000). Or in plain language who influences your class the most, who do you see and hear the most? Who controls the flow of the discussion?
