Distance learning can be just as personal, engaging and socially connected as learning in a classroom and can happen anywhere with Office 365 through Hwb.
Microsoft Teams is a digital service that brings conversations, content, assignments, and apps together in one place, allowing teachers to create vibrant learning environments.
Within Teams, teachers can quickly converse with learners, share files and websites, create a OneNote Class Notebook, and distribute and mark assignments.
Built-in OneNote Class Notebooks and end-to-end assignment management allow teachers to organise interactive lessons and provide effective and timely feedback.
As well as using Teams for class collaboration, staff can stay up-to-date and collaborate using ‘Staff Teams’ for announcements and topical conversations. They can also share instructional material using Professional Learning Communities.
Staff and learners are able to download and install the latest Microsoft Office tools for free at home. These applications include Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as Minecraft: Education Edition. Staff must have their licence allocated by the school Digital Champion.
