Lewis and Clark High School ELD PROGRAM

“Having Office 365 is an ESSENTIAL teaching and collaboration tool that you QUICKLY can’t live without!”

Using Office 365 we created a OneNote notebook to organize our Program. We add meeting notes separately and collaborate more efficiently!

We have made notebooks for all of our classes to use. The Class notebooks are shared READ ONLY with the students….however Naomi and I share the notebooks with editing capabilities so we can more easily share common documents and “fix” each other’s mistakes! I have also done this with my Biology team teacher. I can add information while she is in front of the class. Students have access to the read only version!

We are also sharing the SAME folder for ALL of our ELD PROGRAM documents. This way we use the same Writing templates, have access to the same Administrative documents…. We even have the folder synced to our home and other work computers! No more flash drives!

Chase Middle School

With so many constraints on our teachers' time and my time, use of the 365 Office and OneDrive Apps/Tools have made our collaboration more efficient and extended collaboration beyond the hour per week we have. We are able to work in the same document, at the same time (or anytime) and everyone has access to the most recent version of the thinking (the content in the document). This has led to more robust conversations regarding reading, writing, grammar, and thinking skills in our school and specifically in our ELA & Reading teams.

Our ELA teachers use the 'share a link' > 'edit' rights to all be working on a common document they would all use, all have access to the most recent version, and can all see each other's thinking in real time - even if we are not in the same room.

Students have been using their OneDrive to create documents with their Web Apps in Social Studies/ELA (a interdisciplinary research project/essay) and Science.

Salk Middle School Options Class

Office 365 provides my students and I and easy way to keep current in where they are in their online classes.

This class is for students who have high anxiety and are not attending regularly. A shared OneNote allows me to be up to date with where they are and if they are behind, even if they are working from home.

Bri is not on pace with her science class. In talking with her via email, she has a reason and a plan for this class.
