Module 3:
On this learning curve I learnt alot about tools that would be of benefit to student, teacher and collegues. Unfortunately my school is lacking in the technology to get students and teachers up and running with these tools. Any way this is what I have learnt to date.
OneNote and Learning Tools can help students learn Home Economics in a deeper and more organised way. OneNote works like a digital notebook where students can store all their work in one place such as recipes, meal plans and class notes. This makes it easier to find information and revise for assignments and exams.
Learning Tools such as Immersive Reader can help students understand information more clearly. It can read text aloud, break words into syllables, and change text size or spacing. This is useful for students who find reading difficult or who learn better by listening.
Students can also add pictures, videos and voice recordings to their notes. For example, they can take photos of cooking steps or record reflections after preparing a meal. This helps them think about what went well and what they could improve.
Teachers can share notes and give feedback directly in OneNote, which supports learning and collaboration. Overall, these tools help students stay organised, understand content better and connect classroom learning with real-life skills in Home Economics.

Unfortunately my school does not have the technology knowledge or hard/softwear to allow these tools to be used but I can see its function if the infrastructure was in place. Here’s what I learnt about these tools.

OneNote can help Teachers and students alike to store their files and share information. For a teacher, it is a good way to share information with subject teachers and departments. To share with students, assignments, information on exams, videos, pictures, and voice recordings. OneNote can also include access to the immersive reader. This can help when following the history curriculum so the classes can work on similar timelines. OneNote enables you to give direct assignments and feedback to individual students, enabling the teacher to differentiate for the student.
I found learning how to use OneNote difficult; I did extra coursework on the Microsoft learner site and used the YouTube videos from the course several times. My students have very little access to technology, and I think it would be difficult for them to learn how to use digital technology in the short time they have access. I feel it would just be used by them as a place to store the files and information sent by me. I can see myself using it to share files with my fellow subject teachers.

Hi Carol,
I can really relate to your comments about limited student access to technology. We have similar challenges in our hospital school, so I also see OneNote being used more by teachers than directly by students. I like your idea of sharing resources with subject teachers. I was also thinking it could become a collaborative space where staff build up lesson ideas and resources together, helping to provide a more consistent learning experience for students who move between teachers or return to us over time.

Hi Jill,
My students, similar to yours, would not have access to the technology for use in the classroom. They only have access to it for an hour each week. Using OneNote would be beneficial for them in keeping information in the same place, with easy access.
Collaboration and sharing resources with colleagues is very useful with OneNote giving access to work through links rather than having to send whole files.

While I can see the benefits of OneNote for students, my first thought was actually how useful it could be for our teaching team. In a hospital school, students are often admitted for short periods, transferred between wards or return for recurring admissions. It’s quite common for more than one teacher to work with the same student over time, so having a shared space for lesson ideas, resources and notes could really help us provide a more consistent educational experience.
I also like the idea of using OneNote as a collaborative planning tool. Teachers could share successful activities, adapt resources for different age groups or medical needs, and build up a bank of ideas that everyone can contribute to. In our setting, where flexibility is so important, having that collective knowledge in one place would be a real asset.
Although our students don’t always have consistent access to devices, I still think OneNote has huge potential behind the scenes. One idea that came to mind was creating a digital staff handbook in OneNote. It could include our standard operating procedures, induction materials, guidance for new teachers, links to policies and practical tips for working in different clinical areas. Unlike a printed handbook, it could be updated easily and would always be available to staff when they need it.
Overall, I came away thinking that OneNote could become less of a student notebook and more of a collaborative workspace that strengthens communication, continuity and consistency across our hospital school.

Module 3 – Using OneNote for Literacy
OneNote ; course
After exploring OneNote, I can see the benefits of having everything you need in one place. The ability to use different colours, fonts, images, videos, and text makes it an excellent tool for supporting a wide range of learners and learning styles.
I also like that all resources can be stored in one place, making it easy to find, update, add, or remove information when needed. As I had never used OneNote before, I initially found it a little difficult to navigate. However, I am sure that with more practice and regular use, it will become much easier and more intuitive.
One feature that really stood out to me was Immersive Reader. I can see how beneficial it would be for supporting students with different learning needs, particularly those who may struggle with reading or processing text. Features such as having text read aloud, adjusting font size and spacing, changing background colours, and highlighting parts of speech can make learning much more accessible. I think this would be especially valuable in creating a more inclusive classroom where all students can engage with learning in a way that suits them.
I can also see how valuable OneNote would be for students. It provides multiple ways for them to demonstrate their learning through different forms of representation, whether using text, images, audio, or video. It would also be a great tool for collaborative learning, allowing students to work together on projects in pairs or small groups.
From a whole-school perspective, I can see how useful OneNote could be for sharing information between staff members, year groups, and different committees. Having a central, organised space for resources and communication would help improve collaboration and make information much easier to access.
Overall, I can see OneNote becoming a valuable tool in both my own teaching and my professional collaboration with colleagues. Although there is a learning curve, I believe the benefits for both teachers and students make it well worth investing the time to learn.
