Microsoft in the classroom

Sway



I have begun using Sway as both a teaching tool and for pupils to create their own presentations.  Following a visit to Jordan in February I have been working on a project with the school in Jordan that we are partnered with.  The project is linked to the sustainable development goals and human rights.  
First, I used sway to create an interactive presentation with photos, videos and links for the children to learn more about Jordan. https://sway.com/RSIcKNpzPFP6ldlV?ref=Link Following, this we looked at universal human rights with a specific focus on the UN children's rights.

The children in both the UK and Jordan then had to work on deciding which rights they thought were most important.  They then had to put them into a diamond 9 of their most important.  The British Council provide a good pack of ideas to support the lesson:

The children in both Jordan and the UK then produced pictures to represent the right that they though was most important.





The children then shared their pictures during a Skype session and were able to ask questions that had been shared prior to the session.

Following on from this we explored the sustainable development goal of zero hunger.  Again this was introduced using Sway.  https://sway.com/P5zjYBCnAEoWtDA8?ref=Link

Finally, the children were given their own login to create their own sway on human rights to share with the children in Jordan.
