How to use the tool in the Classroom

The link below is a video showing how you can put together your preparations before going to class. And since my school is still struggling putting together ICT equipments for use on daily basis I have used the OneNote to put together my preparations of the projects I do with the learners. I have as well shared the documents on OneDrive as well as sharing the link with my fellow MIEE’s

In the Classroom.We have not yet used OneNote in the Classroom but planning to since it is convenient to use.

How it can be used:

Create an activity and rename the Section to the Name of your choice and let all the learners to add their pages responding to the questions on the activity that is created.

Assess the learners work and give them feedback individually. And I see it as being very effective and easy to use.

APPLICATION FOR EDUCATIONThe OneNote Class Notebook Creator app for SharePoint extends Microsoft for note-taking, which turns it into a teaching tool that helps educators streamline test-taking, better manage assignments, track their students' progress and provide feedback.

Our curriculum advisers will find it easier to communicate with us unlike having to drive to our schools to attend to each educator. They can reach teachers at once using SharePoint which will minimize their workload, and reaching all schools that he/she monitors at once.

PROBLEMS I FORSEE Lack of ICT developments and support to those who are trying to implement it. Theft on devices at crime prone areas Poor Connectivity Not enough data bundles (Not included in school budget) Poor in-service training for teachers Leaders who do not want to adapt to change delays progress in many instances

CLOSUREBeing selected as a MIEExpert15 has empowered my ICT skills, I have fallen more in love with the apps I come across every day. Moving around my area helping my fellow educators to register on MEN has made me feel full filled. Learning this new apps everyday is challenging and even thought provoking. I am still learning OneNote and Sway and I love them.
