Remote education webinars
How to access school-led webinars on remote education to help share good practice.
Applies to England
This guidance is part of remote education practice for schools during coronavirus (COVID-19). The Department for Education (DfE) has been working with schools to develop this series, based on the current experiences and practices of teachers and school leaders.
DfE is offering school-led webinars on good practice in remote education. This is to support schools that are looking to improve their remote provision, in line with the remote education expectations in Statutory obligations and expectations - Get Help with Remote Education.
EdTech Demonstrator webinars
The EdTech Demonstrator programme is a peer-support network of schools and colleges that was launched in April 2020. It offers advice, support and guidance on ways technology can be effectively embedded to support remote teaching during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and beyond.
Schools and colleges can access existing EdTech resources from the EdTech Demonstrator website. Or you can sign up for bespoke 1:1 support from a demonstrator school or college.
Schools and colleges new to digital platforms, such as Microsoft Office 365 or G-Suite for Education, are advised to apply for 1:1 support.
