Tips on NETiquette

We are currently living in unprecedented t imes where our pedagogy and expertise as teachers are put into test. Our normal has been challenged and had to do adjustments for the uncertainties brought to us by the new normal. As teachers, we are challenged to deliver, with utmost confidence, quality education regardless of delivery mode that we will use. As we put effort to continue deliver and facilitate learning, we need to be compassionate towards our students, especially during these challenging times.

Etiquette must be followed, as we continue teaching them. At the end of the day, the least we can do for our students is to understand their situation while they are adjusting to the new normal.
