Royal Society of Chemistry education coordinator John O’Donoghue canvassed teachers in Ireland during their first week of remote teaching after the nation’s schools and higher-level institutions closed on 12 March. This article shares the views and advice of Irish teachers on timetabling, digital technology and well-being during this unprecedented period of remote teaching.
