Vale Sir Ken Robinson. What an incredible legacy you have left.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer. We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

While Google Meet doesn’t have all of the fancy features of Zoom, you can add in some of these missing elements by installing a few Chrome Extensions! ⚙️ Head over to the Chrome Webstore and search for these extensions by name: bit.ly/2RSiLY2 #remoteteaching #edtech

You don't need to be live with your students 6 hours a day
There are so many options when leading learning online. Here's my advice on simple, blended learning options. Don't try to lead every second. Touchbase and guide your learners. #pipstips

I love this idea for the front office entry corridor. Great project for photography classes.
Loving the new look of our halls. When you visit be sure to read the quotes that inspire our staff. #KidsDeserveIt #peinepride #celebratED #RCAinspired #wsdlearns

Well said @SteeleThoughts. In beautiful Cambodia at the moment and have met another amazing educator @chhaiyalove. Your words resonate with me as they are at the core of who he is. xitter.cf/SteeleThoughts/status/…
People may hear your words & they may read your words. But that doesn’t mean they know your heart. What really matters, is what you do & how you treat others. It’s the example you set. That is what matters most. The life you lead is always more powerful than the speech you give.
