Supporting your students online learning
How you support your students online is vital to their progress and ultimately their success. In this podcast I talk about One on One support and group support, the overall benefits and how this can provide your students with the connection they need especially when they are isolated and need to bounce ideas, ask questions and have their thoughts validated.
The importance of identifying your ethical boundaries and know what support services are available that your students may need to reach out to. Centrelink for financial Support, Counseling service for emotional support and other support services that may be needed in these times.
Identifying what your students need for the best support and identify the barriers to them making progress, this is done through specific questions that I outlined in the episode.
I hope you enjoy.

Find your passion and make it purposeful.
If you haven't found your passion yet then I can wait to share some insights with you and maybe help you find yours.
I have had many discussions over the years where people ask me how did I know what my purpose was, where did this come from, and how will I know what mine is?
Its actually difficult to explain as I am not sure how it occurred, I just knew what I was supposed to do and this has continued at different stages of my life. Maybe I am just lucky, or maybe I listed to what my internal direction is telling me, I have a strong intuition and i love to go after things that light me up.
One thing I do know is your purpose changes at time your life takes on a new direction. We go through many stages in life and depending on what that is for you at the time your purpose many change.
