Using Glow in learning and teaching

Glow allows teachers and students to collaborate on documents online, meaning that groups can work together on shared or similar projects. Common spaces are available for gathering and storing information from a number of students, and teachers can collect, review and give feedback online.

In Office Online, you can simultaneously edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote from your browser or desktop, and view edits from other people in real time.

SharePoint Online allows you to collaborate through lists, libraries, pages and other media while engaging in discussion through Yammer.

You can use Sway to create graphic presentations, share links with other users and collaborate in the creation of content in real time.

Planner allows groups of teachers and/or learners to work together to achieve common goals by organising, assigning and managing tasks. Planner also offers group members the functionality of O365 Groups.

O365 Groups brings together threaded email conversations, a shared calendar, shared file storage, and shared notebook. This quickly and easily allows groups of teachers and/or learners to work together.

Forms allows teachers and pupils to create quizzes, surveys and questionnaires that can be completed by other teachers and learners or members of the public.

Microsoft Teams provides a collaborative space to help distribute tasks and resources to pupils. Pupils can then update and return these materials or upload other evidence of learning to share with their teacher or fellow pupils. Teachers have a collated view of this evidence and can provide formative feedback from a single point.
