“The schools closed down on March 12th, and I started remote teaching on March 18th.” In between, he had a hip replacement operation. “We would have been prepared to teach them,” Murray says, “but some of the primary schools have little or no engagement with online learning. That would be something we would do again.”Like everyone else, Murray finds the online experience very tiring. “Everything closed on a Friday and the next Monday we were all teaching online as best we could. Some of it with great success, some of it with less success.”If the Zoom teaching was one-to-one or one-to-two, she says, it worked well.
