Setting up for eLearning Success
Week 1 and 2: Teacher Class Preparation with all Year 9 classes
In order to build on the skills which students develop in the Year 9 induction, please follow the guidelines below with your classes in the first few lessons of the year. The information below is in two parts, Part 1 is before you meet with the class (set up) and Part 2 is tasks you may like to complete with your class. You may need to go over some of the Part 2 tasks several times with the students as not many will have used Office 365 before. If you need any help with any of the following, please talk to Nathan, Dan J or Carian S.
