Enhancing Teaching with Digital
Culture
Using digital technology in your classroom helps with culture such as:
- learning environments are well organised and planned & purpose tool – utilise Showbie and / or Teams with OneNote to organise learning for pupils so they always know where to look and what to do.
- Metacognition – build in reflective tasks to your digital activities to get learners knowing themselves
- High quality questioning – use the iPad as a mini-whiteboard or delve into the huge range of digital questioning tools that are available many of which now come with AI to up your questioning!
- Home / School partnerships – connect your parents to Showbie to share learning and updates
Planning
Differentiation has never been easier than using digital options.
- Use the extensive options for personalising the iPad to support every learner – with visual, audio, speech and touch changes
- Allow a variety of response options for activities – mark up, type, record or photo
- Assign variations on activities via Showbie, OneNote or Apple Classroom without learners being aware they are getting something different
- Be creative!
