Each pupil pack can be shared with pupils using a simple 4 digit code found at the top of the activity pack when using the website as a teacher. Pupils type the code into the pupil section of the login page (no usernames and passwords to make!) to be directed to the specific activity pack. The pupil activity packs use free, online and common software pupils should have access to at home if they have the internet. We will be adding even more pupil packs each week.

Introducing Teach from Home
Introducing Teach from Home
To support the hundreds of millions of students and educators currently facing school closures, we're introducing Teach from Home—a hub providing information, tips, training and tools to help remote teaching and learning.
Recent weeks have been especially challenging for teachers, students, and families as schools close and normal routines are disrupted. This transition is all the more daunting for educators who aren’t yet comfortable using technology, let alone our tools, so we want to make it easier to get started. To help with that, we’ve developed Teach from Home, a temporary hub of information and tools to help teachers during this crisis. You’ll find resources to enable remote instruction, student engagement, collaboration with peers, and more.
For more advanced resources, explore the COVID-19 support page for training materials, blog posts, videos, and other resources to help engage students through distance learning.
Be sure to pass along your ideas so we can continue to evolve and build this together, and follow along with YouTube, the Keyword blog, and Twitter to keep up with the latest news and resources.

Lots of us are staying home at the moment, but that doesn't mean we can't try new things, challenge ourselves or get creative.
We've pulled our favourite indoor activities from the unit meeting activities and skills builder activities that make up the Girlguiding programme. Each week we'll be releasing 8 new activity cards, 2 per age group or guiding section, that you can download and use at home.
Adobe Spark apps are simple but powerful presentation and storytelling tools that can be used to bring some creativity into education - whether in the classroom or at home! They are (and always will be) completely free for education institutions and a free version is available for all. No question about it.
With Adobe Spark, students, teachers and parents or guardians can quickly and easily create and narrate videos, design posters and graphics, or write assignments, all in a visually compelling way that young people will love! Adobe Spark works anywhere there’s a web browser, including on Chromebooks and iPads with dedicated iOS versions.
Adobe Spark is great fun for both children and adults, and can help improve creativity and digital skills. It's a fun & simple creative education tool and could be a helpful app for using at home.
