📹 Additional and Shared Ressources
Digital teaching and learning is sometimes difficult, whether it is in a classroom (but still digital on a computer) or in an online class. The way we teach and learn has changed a lot over time and there are some good resources I recommend you use. You may not need all of them and you may already know some of them. But if you don't, give them a try. Digital tools can save us all some time and help you later.
The following resources are a mixture of my own and other people's content that I have found on the internet. As I do not host most of the stuff here, it will always be possible for some links to become obsolete over time: Drop me a line. You'll find additional resources first, and then resources that are shared, meaning they're used in several other parts of this site.
