OneNote as means of instruction
Our staff teaches our curriculum through Microsoft OneNote. OneNote is accessible anywhere anytime on a desktop computer/laptop, tablet or mobile phone. The OneNote platform of the individual learner entails that he/she receives their learning content (textbook) electronically, in colour. Within this platform, teachers can insert any additional content in any media (e.g. normal content, pictures, videos, voice explanations, etc.) within the subjects.
This platform is the basis from where all learning in the class takes place. The teacher projects his/her content directly from their tablet onto the board or television. The advantage of this is that all the media rich content is “live” and by this we make provision for all the different learning styles in the classroom. The fact that all the relevant content is available in one structured platform, makes it easy for our learners to function effectively. The learning environment of each learner is “private” with only the teacher that has access to it. This makes it easy for teachers to monitor individual learning and to provide additional support.
