A week has passed since the nearly 60 pupils in three classes were\u00a0issued with Surface Pro 4 tablets as part of the digital prototype.<\/p>\n
This week has been a very busy week\u00a0setting up and using the devices as well\u00a0as pupils preparing and sitting some\u00a0SQA unit assessments.<\/p>\n
On Monday in all three\u00a0classes we used the Surfaces for the first time, most pupils had done some setup at home over the weekend and\u00a0played about\u00a0with the devices at home to gain\u00a0some familiarity.\u00a0 \u00a0The first task for all the pupils was to watch me show the pupils how to setup the OneNote 2016 app.\u00a0 This was done using the Microsoft wireless adapter and a HDMI to VGA connector that allowed the image on my pupil test Surface to be projected onto my classroom whiteboard.\u00a0 Pupils then used the\u00a0resources on\u00a0OneNote to answer some questions on work we had started last week using the on screen inking for the first time.\u00a0\u00a0To maximise normal class learning I had decided, with the agreement of my Head Teacher,\u00a0to\u00a0use form tutor time, 30 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to set up the Surfaces and issue tasks to the\u00a0pupils to carry out.\u00a0 This would free up more time in class for physics learning and preparing the pupils for their planned assessments.<\/p>\n
These pupil tasks\u00a0are set in\u00a0Microsoft Classroom which\u00a0I am promoting as the place they should go to first to find out what they need to do whether at home or in school.<\/p>\n
