Join us as we eavesdrop on school teacher fellow Kristy Turner and HE lecturer Katherine Haxton as they discuss school closures, exams and motivation

As schools face closure and summer exams are cancelled in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, two chemistry educators, a secondary school teacher and an HE lecturer, discuss how they’ll be teaching remotely, what technologies and textbooks they’ll use, and their concerns for their students.
