How to teach with technology in every subject
Teaching with technology can increase students’ understanding and engagement and save teachers hours of time. To help you to teach effectively with technology in your subject area, we’ve rounded up a full list of tools, chosen by teachers, with exemplars from their classrooms demonstrating how to get the full benefit from these tools for teaching and learning.
How to teach English with Technology
Reading, writing and building vocabulary and comprehension skills are key areas to develop in the English classroom. Teaching English with the right technology tools at the appropriate time can really help students’ progress. Learn how to increase creativity and develop students’ vocabulary with these practical examples from our teachers’ classrooms.
Best apps to build vocabulary
by Mark Delahunty
Throughout my teaching career, I have used many brilliant apps to engage students and build their vocabulary. One such app that has been extremely useful in my English class is Quizlet. It is an excellent tool that brings gamification to the classroom, promoting student engagement and allowing teachers to easily assess student learning and vocabulary development.

How to teach with technology in Maths and Science
Best apps for step by step problem solving in the Maths Class
by Conor Maxwell, Sandymount Park ETSS
I recently designed a teacher training course on using OneNote, Stream & Forms in the Maths classroom which demonstrates all of the apps and tools I use regularly in my Maths class which have completely transformed my teaching and my students’ learning.
Some of the top apps I demonstrate are the Microsoft Math app which allows my students to get step-by-step solutions to their Maths problems to support their learning. I also show how I use Microsoft Forms in the Maths class which has saved me hours of time assessing students by using self-correcting quizzes. Combining this with the use of Stream means it is also easy to make all Maths lesson content fully accessible and understandable for students, both in the class and at home, using tutorial videos embedded in OneNote from Stream. All of these apps can then be integrate perfectly into Microsoft Teams Assignments which allows teachers to streamline the collection and correction of CBAs, automatically collating student grades.
In this exemplar for this course, I demonstrate how to create self-correcting quizzes in Forms which automatically grades the assessment quiz once students complete it.

Best science apps...and how to use them
Knowing which apps to choose and how to use them can really bring your science class alive. As well as the Maths course, I also created a course on using iPad and Office 365 in the Science classroom showcasing how students can create videos to document their experimental techniques, use augmented reality to make their notes copies come alive, and begin to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts using interactive simulations.
In this video snippet from my course ‘iPad and Office 365 in the Science Classroom’, I demonstrate how to bring students experiment notes alive using the Halo AR app.
