Remote Learning

Feedback

This year has been a difficult year for us all, and schools have had to respond quickly to enable safe and responsive teaching which can be accessed from home. Your feedback on this period of remote learning would be greatly appreciated and it would help us to refine our current response (outlined below).

Overview

At Keble, we had been using Google Classroom in the Senior school since before lockdown, so we were easily able to extend this to include the Junior school. We have also embraced and extended our blended learning across the school as a whole.

In the Senior school we have continued to use Google Classroom to deliver homework and resources to all students. In some cases, lessons are also screen recorded to help children with differentiation and further support. Screen recording allows pupils to replay lessons if they wish to see or hear the demonstrations and instructions again. Screen recorded lessons are also helpful for any absences as pupils can catch up with lessons at their convenience. Each subject in the Senior school has its own Google Classroom.

During times when the bubble has to isolate, teachers run Google Meets and supply a combination of blended learning in the form of screen recordings and lesson resources set in the Google Classrooms.

In the Junior school (Years 2-4) homework is also delivered through Google Classroom. Pupils have one main classroom run by their class teacher.

Reception and Y1 mainly use Seesaw to share work, videos and messages to parents instead of Google Classroom. From Y2 to Y4 Seesaw alongside Google Classroom to share evidence of children’s work during the month with pupils and parents. Pupils can see each other’s work enabling peer-to-peer assessment, but parents can only see their own child’s work.

In the Senior school, French, Art, Computing, PE, Music and Science all use Seesaw to share pupils work within the class – This allows for peer-to-peer assessment, easy delivery of instructional videos, and in the case of art, enables pupils to more easily record and share work which is in video form and images.

During isolation, Junior teachers also offered a combination of Google Meets and screen recorded lessons and resources in their classroom, with the exception of Y1 and Reception who continue to use Seesaw as their preferred method.
