This list of curated resources represents work that I have produced from March to May of 2020, all aimed at helping educators as they transitioned to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The full article appears in Australia’s English Teachers Association NSW’s journal, mETAphor (openly available through their website).
The links here are presented in the order that they appear in the article, which I will provide a link to (once the issue is published online).
