Going Digital as a Teacher

Today many teachers hand out tablets rather than textbooks but it’s not just the students who are almost entirely digital, the teachers are too. Every teacher is likely to have their own dedicated laptop, tablet and phone, and this is where they store all of their work. Being IT literate is not just a job for IT teachers nowadays, it’s a job for all teachers, and it’s important that they maintain their organisation levels on their devices, not just their desk. One way to really get digitally organised is to use different apps for different organisational purposes. There are apps which double up as diaries and mark books, can take simple registers and be used to record planning and assessment data. Don’t be a desktop saver, keep your important documents in specific folders, and make use of digital calendars to plan out your tasks and lessons each week.
