Online Teaching Strategies

O365 Teams allows you to check in with learners using direct messaging and chat; and assign learning and activities to individual learners, groups or whole classes with Assignments.

Teams Assignments are an effective way to share learning activities with learners – share learning intentions, activity instructions and assessment feedback in one place.

Whiteboard allows your learners to share ideas and understanding with pre-made mind-mapping layouts (effective for scaffolding thinking) and post-it notes

OneNote is a virtual notebook that makes use of sections and pages, like an organiser, to order learning. The pages can include text, images, video, drawing with virtual ink, and voice recordings – this flexibility makes it effective to evidence learning.

There are built-in accessibility tools that can make it easier for learners to engage with digital apps including typing with their voice, having the screen read to them or even having PowerPoint listen to their presentation and offer feedback on it
