“Every student in our school has a Chromebook; we currently have around 27 in use. The main way we use it is to monitor the pupils while teaching staff aren’t around, such as during break and lunchtimes when they…use YouTube or talk to different classrooms across the school. This enables us to monitor remotely, giving them a bit of freedom and independence while ensuring we keep track of what they are doing.”

“classroom.cloud has made virtual teaching much easier. I can see when a student is not on task and help them by accessing their assignments, because I can see their screens in real time! The message tool is so valuable when a student is having connection issues and keeps dropping off the video call. You can message their Chromebook directly to give instructions or help.”
