Putting the "A" into STEAM

Adding art to science, technology, mathematics and engineering can take many shapes and serve many purposes. It can be a way to make a complicated topic easier to understand, it can be a chance to put theory into practice and have some fun at the same time. 

Access our webinar recording for a first look at OrbitNote. During this webinar we also took a look at Texthelp's tools, Read&Write and EquatIO, and how they come together with OrbitNote to make all subjects accessible and collaborative to everyone.

OrbitNote promotes communication and group work with real-time collaboration on PDFs. When students are learning from home, they can still engage with and get feedback from both teachers and their peers.

Create interactive PDF worksheets

You can use Read&Write and EquatIO together in PDFs to create engaging and accessible digital math worksheets that students can complete and return for feedback from anywhere, without the need to print off paper resources.

Create digital math in PDFs

One of the primary benefits of OrbitNote is that anyone can view your document regardless of which operating system or device they’re using—and in today’s socially connected environment, that’s key. With OrbitNote you can go one further and annotate, highlight and manipulate that PDF, collaboratively.

Webinar on how to remove bias towards people with neurodiversities and hidden disabilities

Did you know that over 1 in 3 people show unconscious bias against people with disabilities (including neurodiversities)? This is higher than the levels of bias on the basis of gender or race. And, can affect the productivity, engagement, and wellbeing of your staff. 

Join our webinar to discover ways devices can be used to remove barriers to learning, through the use of inclusive technology. Hear from leading educators from schools and local authorities across Scotland.

Webinar on how to use devices and inclusive technology to break down barriers to learning in the classroom

Removing barriers to learning through device access

The SNP have pledged to provide every child in Scotland with a device to get online. Including a free internet connection and the support to use it. As of mid July 2021, over 72,000 devices have been distributed across Scotland.

But how will this impact teaching and learning?

With these funds, schools were able to quickly provide laptops and Learning Management Systems for their students to continue to learn remotely and minimize disruption to education. As schools started shifting back to in-person instruction, funding priorities re-aligned as well. Dollars started being prioritized to create safe learning environments and schools turned to their largest challenge yet - Learning Loss.

There will be a long road ahead as we navigate how to best support learning recovery. Thankfully the newest American Rescue Plan Act will provide K-12 education with an additional $132 billion to do just that. But it’s now up to us to make sure our students (no matter where they’re at in their learning journey) have the supports they need in order to succeed. And it’s important that those supports work within the infrastructures and devices districts have already invested so heavily.

Join us for a webinar as we look to how Texthelp tools:

Align with the American Rescue Plan’s funding guidelines

Were developed with Universal Design for Learning in mind to support every child’s unique needs and preferences

Are proven supports to mitigate learning loss

Work where you need them - across devices, platforms and Learning Management Systems

Navigating the Road to Recovery  Leveraging stimulus funding to mitigate learning loss

On Demand - Navigating the Road to Recovery: Leveraging stimulus funding to mitigate learning loss

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has recently passed the American Rescue Plan Act, injecting approximately $132 billion into the K-12 education space. In this webinar we take a look at how Texthelp tools align with this funding.

Downloads of EdTech tools in Australia surged by 190% in March 2020 according to our research paper with educational analyst, ImpactEd. Technology has the potential to transform classrooms but only when it is designed and implemented in a way that focuses on improving outcomes for teachers and their students.

Catch up on our webinar with a panel of leading educators from across Australia and New Zealand. To learn how their schools are using technology to enhance teaching and learning.

During the discussion our speakers delved into their own experiences to provide listeners with actionable and practical advice. That will help you when selecting and implementing the right tools and EdTech strategies for your school, including:

Roundtable Discussion | Technology to Amplify Teaching

How can we use technology to amplify teaching? - a roundtable discussion

There’s no doubt about it. The COVID-19 school closures have been the catalyst to push education technology into the mainstream. So as schools across Australia return to some normality, how do we ensure that the technology that we take back to the classroom is grounded in sound pedagogy and not simply replacing one process with another?
