The photo story in Google Docs is an easy one to get started on with examples such as weekly reflections on books students are reading, favourite song of the week or weekly science experiments. You could also suggest a photo log of the isolation period reflecting on positives such as more time with parents, exercising or eating together, regular video chats with friends and loved ones.

At the end of the lessons, when you think you have learnt all there is on offer, Google have added a range of extension activities to extend the learning even further.

Each lesson comes with video tutorials, a transcript with hyperlinks back to the video sections, a lesson plan, rubric, certificate of completion and some also allow downloading the videos to watch offline. Teachers have access to a progress review to track how well each student is completing the task.

There’s never been a better time to use these resources for distance learning as they are free and ready to use.
