Remote Lesson Parental Guidance

The Office 365 platform gives users the ability to access their work on a variety of devices. Your child should be able to access their work on their smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer and even their games console through the web browser. For ease of use, we do recommend using a device which has a physical mouse and keyboard, though this is not compulsory. 

There are wireless keyboards and mice which can connect via Bluetooth to a range of devices to avoid needing to purchase a new device. We recommend checking the compatibility of the keyboard and mouse with the device before purchasing.

All work for the pupils is set through the Teams application in Office 365. The work is set as assignments and are sent to the pupils on Monday morning of each week. 

Mr Gravelle has created a handy video guide to show you how to check your child's teams applications for the assignments they are currently assigned and how you can check that the work has been submitted.

To track the progress and engagement of the pupils at Dwr y Felin we use two tools that are available in Microsoft Teams. We use the Grades and Insights features in tandem to try and understand how pupils are engaging with their work on a subject by subject basis.
