Teachers' Page:
We start each week with a Monday Morning Meeting for staff. It's a time for information sharing, celebrating staff and children's achievements, laughter, building and strengthening the kaupapa foundations for our school, and a few tips on teaching, techie skills and even life. This page will be the place teachers can come back to if they want to revisit anything we covered in our Monday Morning Meetings.
It's really a page for teachers, but if you find anything worthwhile here for yourself, great.

Techie Tips:
Split View click and hold on the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window to activate Split View Drag the app to either the left or right side of the screen. This way, you can open one app on one side and another on the other, making it easier to work on both tasks simultaneously. Helpful when you need to reference information from one app while working on another task in a separate app.
Detail Duo app lets you record video with your iPhone's front and rear cameras simultaneously.

Everything you say must meet at least two of the following three criteria: Be kind.

Hotel HQ
Stay organised in your hotel room with this one weird tip.
When arriving at a hotel room, clear the desk, fold a bathroom towel or flannel to make a little square space, and use it as a store for all your useful stuff.
OK, so it actually does seem a little unusual, but having tested it on all hotel stays over the last few years, I can say that it genuinely helps me not lose key things, like room keys, around my hotel room. It also reduces the chances of leaving without something important like a passport. Maybe give it a try.
This tip I learned from Dan Pink's Pinkcast episode, where he calls it his hotel inbox — the place to leave everything when he walks into the room.
