Teacher Remote Learning

Should a member of teaching staff need to isolate or in the event of a school closure, teachers have a number of methods available to them to teach remotely and are supported by our 'Remote Learning Guide' and weekly remote learning newsletter "3-2-1 Fridays".

All lessons start with a Teams meeting where staff greet students and take a register. The teacher then has a number of options:

Live Lesson

The teacher continues the Teams meeting and starts the lesson by using their voice, sharing their screen or an electronic whiteboard through Microsoft Whiteboard. Teachers are encouraged to use a number of apps and features of Teams to engage learners, including, Flipgrid, Quizziz, Nearpod, polls, breakout rooms, Padlet and more.

Teams Assignment

Teachers will create an assignment within the Microsoft Team. The assignment will contain a variety of high quality learning material including:

• Presentations and worksheets containing key information and tasks
• Links to external websites such as BBC Bitesize, YouTube and Seneca Learning
• Online Textbooks
• Instructions to access assigned material on subject specific resources such as 'Collins Connect’

Recorded lesson via Stream 

Stream is an app available to use at office.tmet.org.uk allowing a teacher to record their screen activity and voice for up to 15 minutes. The teacher can then share the link to the recorded lesson by posting onto the class Team.

Adding verbal instructions to PowerPoint

Teacher adds voice-overs to an existing PowerPoint and then posts as an assignment onto Microsoft Teams.
