Make Classroom Time Matter with Microsoft Surface

In the classroom there is nothing more valuable than time and with Surface and Microsoft 365, you can ensure that time is spent doing what teachers do best – teaching! Kristy Hill, an experienced former Primary School Teacher, looks at the benefits of Microsoft Surface in the classroom …

“As a primary school teacher in the classroom, my Surface Pro device became one of my most valued classroom tools which saved me time, increased productivity and allowed me to be more flexible within my teaching. During my lessons, I was able to model classroom activities directly from my device, anywhere within the classroom meaning that I could quickly and easily demonstrate to the class at any time, even when working with a group and switch with ease between tablet and laptop mode. Combined with Office 365 tools such as OneNote, I was also able to mark and give feedback on my students work using my device, significantly reducing my workload, whilst still allowing a personal touch through the handwritten notes with the Surface Pen. For my management role it was easy to use when conducting classroom observations, taking handwritten notes, capturing pictures/videos as evidence whilst remaining as light and portable as a notebook to carry around the classroom. Without a doubt, the Surface is a great investment in a quality device that can transform the way you teach.
