I'd be quite happy to debate the points made here, especially if the Tweeter would come out from behind an anonymous account and own their opinions.

There is genuinely a debate to be had. But surely the level of discourse can be better than this?

Let me start with one point 1/5

"Google Classroom can do their job for them! It may deliver info on a screen but that's it!"

Face to face is better than remote, of course. That's why I've been happy to be teaching in school since August and interacting with my pupils in my classroom. 2/5

But to make the above claim is to show a fundamental misunderstanding on the nature of teaching - and of the significant progress (through both research & experience) that teachers have made in delivering remote learning over these past 9 months. 3/5

See this for just one example of how tech can facilitate interactivity: 4/5

So, by all means, let's debate the subject - knowing that we all have the best interests of the pupils at heart.

But, if we're going to do so, please let's debate things sensibly so we can reach understanding and advance the discussion. 5/5
