Earlier this/last week someone posted a summary of their live lesson routine, and it was similar to mine. But can I remember who it was or find the post? No. Sigh.

School policy is post all lesson details on SatchelOne. For every lesson I make a ppt (I *never* did this in f2f lessons), the complete "instructions" for what the kids will do in a lesson are all in the powerpoint. I upload this to SatchelOne. I also save it to my OneDrive. 2/
First 2 weeks every lesson has been a meeting on Teams. Across the school everyone is mostly using either Teams or Zoom so the students are used to it. I "schedule" a meeting & set the options so that kids have to wait in the lobby, can't present and can't unmute themselves 3/
The first student task is always on Dr Frost Maths. Every lesson. It might be a quick 5 question "key skills", or a longer sheet on the topic of the prev lesson. But 1st task is always Dr Frost. Here I take the register!

Then if I'm presenting new content, it is either fully written out in the powerpoint and I just narrate it, or I post a link to a pre-recorded video. Sometimes it's my video, sometimes others. Then some form of non-screen work. Textbook/worksheet. 5/
Any work written in student's exercise books they have to photograph and upload. I have them do this on the SatchelOne platform, since I have already made a task for that day's class work. (I generally don't mark these) 6/
I'll stay in the meeting for about 45 mins. Some students leave (if they have slow internet) to do the independent work and use the text chat to ask Q, or pop back into the meeting. I use a mix of text chat or pen&paper modelling with visualiser to answer Q. 7/
I've found this is a good mix of active screen and non-screen independent work. It limits the number of different platforms, and so far I've only used one maths-specific platform. The others are used across subjects/form time. It means I'm not stuck sitting down for hours. 8/
Use the comments to get feedback on where students are up to/simple polls eg
"Like this comment when you have finished question 6"
Multiple choice: you write a comment with each answer and they like the one for their answer
"Like this comment when you have your calculator" 9/

Oh I knew I missed something. The point of saving stuff onto OneDrive (or similar cloud) is fewer clicks inside a Teams meeting to present a power point. See screenshot below, the middle section is ppts automatically pulled from OneDrive. 11/10 https://twitter.com/e_hayes12/status/1345333678575132672
Advantage of this over old-fashioned screen share is the kids who work fast can click forward in the ppt on their own screens only and do the next task. You can stop this happening if you want. 12/10 https://twitter.com/e_hayes12/status/1345333682580709376
