Make sure your school is prepared for a changing learning environment
Schools like yours, around the world are responding to COVID-19, and the need for services and software to support remote learning urgent. Your school may need to update and upgrade how it works to a new digital forward way. This could include upgrading your wireless internet, servers and storage, information management system and online learning platform.
Online Learning Platforms
Remote learning and online education environments are used by schools to communicate and collaborate with staff and students. Popular platforms like Microsoft Office 365 for Education and Google Apps Suite for Education are used to communicate, monitor progress, organise and plan lessons. Using the many available tools with each platform schools can also create content, share documents, record lessons and even use the live-video conferencing features to broadcast lessons.
“Collaborative learning or peer to peer interaction are identified as leading to improved pupil outcomes”
As well as allowing teachers to send out homework, assessments and online activities, they also provide a means to track pupil progress and can be linked to your MIS database so all your data is current and accessed easily. We can setup and integrate platforms such as Office 365 and Google Apps for Education within a short space of time and provide staff training.
