In the world of Teacher Dasboard, Google Classroom etc, there's a really fine line between what works for the kids and for us. I don't mind reading over work while 'blob bing' in front of some inane crime show. Others I know refuse to check GDocs between 5pm and 8am. Just like we personalise the learning, it's up to us to personalise our practice.

I am a student centred teacher/leader and have always argued the point about students first and although I still believe this I am more and more interested in teacher well being. If we don't look after our teachers we can't look after our students
