Setting up a meeting
When setting up a meeting I think we need to consider the pupil and how we make it easier for them. When we look at our calendars we know that the majority of entries our of subject lessons. Pupils will have ‘meetings’ from all subjects so when we add a title we should include the subject (Maths, German etc) so they can quickly see what has been arranged for them.

Digitaldoo
‘Lock down’ has allowed us to develop our digital abilities but now we communicate via teams and allow pupils to access their work on line but returning to the classroom has presented us with a whole new set of issues namely how do we move from room to room digitally.
For me there are a set of Digitaldoo’s that I will be following in every room that I teach in
- Sync my OneDrive to the machine
- Sync the Department Drive to the machine
- Log into my google toolbar so all my bookmarks
- log into a desktop version of O365 (word) so I can link the machine to my files
- Add the office button to my toolbar and pin it
- Add Teams to my Toolbar and pint it
- Add OneNote to my Toolbar and pin it
I will put some help guides together on this to support you all
