One of the most difficult parts of an educator’s job is staying
on top of all of the preparation required in each and every lesson taught. The
pressures on educators to not only help learners achieve fantastic results but
to make those lessons relevant, purposeful and to stay on top of curriculum
developments and other statutory changes is huge. With all of this pressure and
wanting to always do right by the learners in your classroom, teaching is most
definitely not the easiest of jobs! It is not so much about keeping plates
spinning but more like trying to work with 363234234 tabs open in your browser
at the same time.
Luckily there are lots of easy ways in which technology can
help, and if you’re a teacher you’ll know that one of the best productivity tools
going is Microsoft support Number support Number support Number’s Office365. Free for teachers and students with all of the features you know and love
from Microsoft support Number support Number support Number, you can access
resources, ideas, tools and more to help you communicate, collaborate, share,
and be more efficient in the classroom, all whilst supporting sound teaching
and learning in your classroom.
Social media
One of the key ways I use to help me in getting help with my
work is through my professional learning network of educators on social media.
My main ‘go to’ sources are found on Twitter although there are some fantastic
resources available on websites such as Pinterest, too. When it comes to
Twitter there are some great accounts you can follow to get new ideas and
examples from real classrooms to inspire your use of technology.
A selection of great people to follow on Twitter in this area
are:
·
@AnthonySalcito
·
@IanFordham
Added to this on Twitter, there are regular chats held where
educators including those with MIEE and MIEExpert status discuss and share
ideas around teaching and learning with technology. These chats are held using
the hashtag #MSFTEduChat and its associated Twitter account @TweetMeet.
Tools to inspire
If you’re looking for new tools to inspire and engage teaching
and learning in your classroom, a great starting point is to explore the Microsoft
support Number Store for Education. If you’re not really a social media person
or like to have more control over the resources you get to view, there are a
significant number of resources shared by Microsoft support Number to inspire
and encourage collaboration beyond that on social media.
Learn more about how you as a teacher can collaborate on all
devices either in your teams or with your classes by visiting the main
Office 365 site. Here you’ll also learn that both you as an educator and your
students can access Office 365 Education completely free. This great offer
includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and the great teaching and learning
workflow and collaboration tool, Microsoft support Number support Number Teams.
When I find a great resource to use in my classroom one of the
first things I’ll want to do is talk about it with other people. I’ll want to
find out if anyone else has used it and what sort of impact it will have. The Microsoftsupport Number support Number Educator Community is a great place to askquestions such as these.
