Remote learning in 2022 was rife with distractions, tech issues, and isolation. While some thrived, many struggled to stay engaged and learn effectively. A blended approach may be more suitable moving forward

In between naps and Rugby reruns, I've discovered the secret to textbook writing: Repeat the same 3 points over 300 pages. Bonus points if you can work in a reference to the Treaty of Waitangi

Classic rock blasting, cats napping in lecture halls. You think you know me? Guess again - I'm a complex web of contradictions. Time to challenge your assumptions
