On the 4th day of Christmas, a teacher gave to me! Tips on using Office Mix with your students.
Doesn’t have a ring to it does it? Well I can assure you that it is a great way of recording your lessons while they’re in progress. They also allow you to plan for future absence of your students. If you’re away on a day trip, you can record your presentation and the students will still be able to continue their lesson without a specialist. Office Mix is a free tool which can be downloaded from : – https://mix.office.com/en-us/Home
I generally use it for recording my presentations, it allows students to catch up with work when they’re sick. There are much more features available from this and it will be great to experiment with.
It’s a free tool and I hope that you may be able to help students catch up when absent.
I am the Lead teacher of computing at Brooke Weston Academy in Corby Northamptonshire. Previously I was the head of IT/Computing at Uppingham Community College.
In 2015 I won the Gold National Teaching award for Innovative use of technology. I also won the 2015 Young Game Bafta - Mentor award. I'm keen to help students achieve their best and like to give them opportunities to do this.
I have a passion for teaching and I enjoy meeting other people and sharing their ideas. I have a keen interest in games development as well as developing the use of ICT in classrooms across the curriculum.
In my spare time I teach Irish dancing. I have been Irish dancing since I was 11. My highest position was 14th at the world championships 3 years running and 2nd at the Great Britain Championships in 2006.
