Two weeks ago this seemed impossible and there was no way we could get these children to excersise by themselves. Fortunately I was wrong because this time 'thinking outside the box' is required and it helped me and my colleagues a lot.
Students are currently meeting their teachers in a variaty of media online. Mostly via Microsoft teams, or the schoolsystem which is less famous outside of Holland. This system works.. let's say "ok" at its best.

We had to upload our challenges as well.
We had many more challenges for example:
