Cloud Design Box is hosting five free virtual events in December and January, especially designed for teachers to help them make the most of Microsoft Teams and deliver outstanding learning to their students.
As Microsoft Global Education Training Partners with CPD-certified courses, we’re delighted to be partnering with two leading technology providers, who specialise in education – Novus and RivaNET.
Novus provides IT services to a wide range of schools, academies and multi-academy trusts, giving them access to market-leading technical services that are proven, dependable and reliable.
Meanwhile, RivaNET specialises in delivering enterprise-grade IT systems to UK independent schools and colleges, enabling them to deliver quality, innovation and excellence.
Below is a description of each event and how you can sign up for free.
Tailored to Secondary Schools and Academies
Best Practices with Microsoft Teams – Tuesday 1 December 2020 1pm-2pm
Delivered in partnership with Novus, our first event has been specially-designed around overworked teachers who are struggling with Teams.
Learn how to eliminate additional work by collaborating on resources in a centralised location.
Department leaders learn how they can free up their staff’s time by using these tried-and-tested best practices.
Focusing on how department leaders can centralise resources in one, accessible location, this session is perfect for those who want to learn more about collaborating in Teams.
The Novus and Cloud Design Box training team guide you through how to best centralise your resources in Teams in a way that reduces teacher workload.
When adopting any new technology, it’s crucial to bring everyone along on the journey with you – not just the tech-savvy members of staff.
Teams is no different. In this session, Novus and the Cloud Design Box training team walk you through how to plan for long-term success with Teams, without leaving anyone behind.
Tailored to Independent Schools
Blended learning has played a crucial part in providing students with uninterrupted learning this year. The blended approach also provides an effective way of reinforcing face-to-face learning with online resources and interaction.
In this session, discover how to best use Teams to support home learning confidently.
For many schools, moving to Teams has been an incredible culture change and also increased the workload of teachers.
This session demonstrates how you can save time and avoid duplicating work when creating quality online resources that can be re-used year after year.
If you sign-up but cannot attend, they will send you a video recording of the session. Feel free to share these links, anyone can sign-up.
