‘How can I possibly teach Hamlet?’ wailed one member of the English department last week. ‘They need to hear me – I need to hear them!’ We all had similar concerns. So much learning in schools comes from talking, discussing, questioning, answering – and then questioning again.
To teach remotely without classroom talk is a huge challenge, especially in a subject like English, where so much understanding grows from wondering out loud.

-Using Google Classroom: teachers and students can upload and edit documents, tests and slides.

-Share lesson presentations and set and mark assignments: possibly most useful for recreating the classroom environment will be Google Meet, where you can live-stream interactive lessons which students join and contribute to. When you’d rather they listen than talk, you can mute their microphones.

-Remote learning will be easier for some students than others: sixth formers should be good at managing their time and working on essays independently.

-Having online resources is one thing, having online access is another: some school’s libraries are always packed with students working on the computers. Many will be sharing family computers; some don’t have access at all. For those students post home books, photocopied pages and printouts (but it won’t be easy to have a dialogue with them.)

-Using the Seesaw app: this is to set the kids three small tasks a day, plus optional projects.

You may be stuck at home right now, but that doesn't mean you can't experience masterpieces from all over the world!

-Uffizi Gallery (Florence): Italy's most visited art museum.

-Gemäldegalerie (Berlin): Look out for the octagonal Rembrandt Room and Raphael's quintet of Madonnas.

-Museo del Prado (Madrid): enjoy a 360 view of the museum's Rubens exhibition.

-São Paulo Museum of Art: Great works of art hang on crystal easels as if suspended in mid-air — adding a touch of magic to its rough-edged, Brutalist rooms alongside a substantial collection from Brazil and the Americas.

-Nottingham Contemporary: V21 Artspace has created a range of immersive 3D tours of the art gallery's exhibitions — including Lisa Rhodes: Dissident Lines and Still Undead: Popular Culture in Britain Beyond the Bauhaus.

-Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki: Dive into the visual history of New Zealand on a virtual tour of the island nation's largest art gallery. Explore outstanding works by Māori and Pacific Island artists.

Stevie Parle’s much-beloved pasta #restaurant has traditionally been tricky to nab a spot at, which makes its advent to your homes all the better an opportunity to sample it. However, Parle and his team are going a step further at this trickiest of times, offering a special delivery service of freshly made pasta, at £5 for 500g, and store cupboard staples including semolina flour. Or maybe you’d want just to dive straight into the carbonara bucatini and rigatoni with wild mushrooms and garlic, parmesan and olive oil.

The advertising landscape has changed virtually overnight with the spread of the #COVID-19.
We’re now seeing majority of commerce shutting down across the UK and the world.
This will require #advertisers to be brave, agile, creative, and patient with our ever-changing environment.
Here are 5 tips to help you manage your paid search campaigns during this pandemic.

1. Business Value Props & Messaging: can your product or service be a priority right now or be considered as essential?

2. Budgets & Spend: you will definitely want to shift budgets to best performing campaigns to maximize results.

3. Search Behavior: Use ad copy or ad extensions to communicate benefits like free delivery, fast delivery, curbside pick-up, porch drop-off, etc.

4. Channels: With a large percentage of usage centered around messaging, groups, and livestreams, Facebook says many of these features are not monetized, so they are seeing a decrease in ad revenue.

5. Pivot to Normal-ish: At some point, various bans and restrictions will be lifted – in whole or in part.
When that happens, consumers will be eager to get outside and re-engage.

Producers are in discussions with local NHS services to give personal protective equipment [PPE] "and other useful medical items to assist them". Both shows have suspended production.
Executive producer Simon Harper said: "Casualty and Holby City are all about celebrating #NHS heroism, so we are only too happy to help out and do what we can for the courageous and selfless real life medics battling this situation."
