C) Meet the Needs of Diverse Learners: The various Microsoft Office 365 apps provide multiple
tools that teachers can use to meet the needs of all learners in the classroom. The tools can also
be used by students so that they can choose the app that works best for their learning style. For
example, PowerPoint Mix allows students to re-watch lectures at their own pace, take notes
directly on the presentation slides, and save everything digitally to their OneDrive account. The
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

app also allows teachers to see who has viewed the lecture and how each students has
answered the assessment questions. This immediate feedback allows students to focus their
studying skills on specific topics and teachers to inform future instruction based on assessment
outcomes.
Additionally, Microsoft OneNote allows students to take note, draw pictures, add videos and
audio files, and more all in one place in their online notebook. Teachers can then view their
student’s notebooks using Classroom Notebook and provide individualized help without calling
attention to the student. For example, right from my desk I can enter a student’s notebook, see
they need some help, and give them feedback right on their page and the whole class is no the
wiser. I use this all the time with my students who have anxiety or do not like to be called out
on in class.
Microsoft Forms allows teachers and students to collect data and then analyze that data
immediately using Microsoft Excel. This is a great way to collect feedback and inform
instruction based on the Form responses. As you can see there are many ways the tools
included in the Microsoft Office 365 suite can be used to meet the needs of all learners!

D) Assessment of outcomes: I will be assessing the outcomes of my professional development

seminar by having participants fill out a survey at the end of each session. In total they will fill
out 6 surveys all specifically having to do with that day’s session. The survey includes questions
asking teachers what they’ve learned, how the tools can be used in their classroom based on the
subject they teach, and about the activity they did that day and what artifact/material they
created for their classroom. Furthermore, built into each session is a period of time for closure.
During this time frame, teachers will reflect on what they learned during that session and will be
asked to specifically reflect on how specific apps can be used in their classroom or subject area.
This will be a time for teachers to communicate with each other discuss what they’ve learned,
and build off each other’s ideas. In addition to the survey and the closure time build into the
sessions, I will be continuously talking with the teachers taking part in my Professional
Development seminar. I will be able to see what material’s they have created, how they are
currently using the technology in their classroom, and how they plan to use the technology in
their classroom. I will specifically state that I am available to meet individually with any teacher
if they need help designing or implementing a technology enhanced lesson using Office 365.
Hopefully teachers will be open to the idea of me visiting classrooms and helping on an in dept
level!

E) Assess the Efficacy: There are two major ways in which teachers can assess the efficacy of
Microsoft Office 365 with their students. The first and most reliable method is self reflection.
After teachers have implemented or used Microsoft Office 365 tools in their classroom they
need to take a second and reflect on their practices. Was the lesson successful? Did the tools
work in the way they should have? Did the Microsoft apps engage learners and help them
achieve the learning outcomes of the lesson? Did the apps save anyone time and were they
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

easy to use? Reflection is an intricate part of the teaching process in order for educators to
inform future teaching and learning. In doing this, teachers can assess whether or not these
tools are an asset to the classroom and are benefiting their students. Secondly, teachers can
provide students with a survey (using Microsoft forms!) to determine how students feel about
the addition of the Microsoft tools in the classroom. As a teacher it is extremely important to
address your students perspective and learn how they felt using the tools during the lesson.

Agenda: 6 Days, 2 Hours per day. (2:30 – 4:30)

Day 1 Introduction- (20 minutes) I will introduce myself to the participants, and
they will each have time to introduce themselves to the class by including
(2 hours) bits of information such as “who are you?, What school do you teaching
in? What do you teach? Why did you decide to join this PD?”
Introduction &
Microsoft Basics Explanation of the PD (5 minutes)- I will then talk about the learning
outcomes and what teachers should expect to achieve as part of this PD
Mail, Calendar experience. I will emphasize the fact that I will be expecting them to not
and Word only learn about these Microsoft Office 365 tools, but to utilize and
create materials using these tools!

Pre Assessment (5 Minutes) - Teachers will be filling out a detailed pre

assessment form so that I have an understand of what information they
already know and what information they are looking to learn
(https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KY9QGGS) Again, this pre
assessment is VERY detailed so I can really pinpoint specific skills that I
want to teach during my short two hour sessions!

Introduction to Microsoft Office 365 (60 minutes total)- I will begin by

introducing Microsoft Office 365. I will be showing teachers how to
access the following by projecting it on my screen while they follow
along. This will be very informal so if teachers have questions they can
ask at any time!
 Log in- Teachers will log into their Microsoft Office 365 account
(this could take some time).
 Adjust Settings-After they have logged into their account we will
start talking about some of the basics. I will describe how to
change certain settings and profile information. I will be doing it
on the screen or projector as they follow along with their own
device.
 Access Mailbox- In this part of the training I will have teachers
access their mailbox and learn how to add contacts, send and
receive mail, create groups of contacts, add an email signature,
change mailbox settings, and share information using the Private
messaging function.
 Access calendar- In this part of the training I will have teachers
access their calendar and learn how to add events, share events,
invite coworkers to certain events, share calendars, and make
more than one calendar.
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

 Access Word Documents- In this part of the training I will have

teachers access their Microsoft office Word documents and teach
them how to access it online, edit documents online, and share
documents with one click.

Activity (20 minutes) – Using their personal office 365 account, teachers
will create an event on their calendar, share it with a co-work to edit
(someone also at the training), invite one other person to the even, and
finally send an email with an editable word document attached so that
they can sign-up for the event.

Closure (5 minutes)- Although our activity for this session was to create a
silly event, I would use my closure time to talk about how the process
that we did could be used in the classroom as well. For example, you can
make a group of all of your students, create an event such as a final exam,
invite them all to the event, and easily tell if students have conflicts with
the time scheduled because you can access their calendar or they can
write directly on the event page.

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Day 2 Warm-up (10 minutes)- I always do a warm-up in my classes rather than

jump right into the material because I feel like it helps relax students and
(2 hours) can refresh them on the material we learned previously. In today’s
warm-up I will ask teachers to first individually reflect on their uses of
One Drive Microsoft Office 365 since the last time we meet. After individual
reflections I will have teachers turn and talk to their partners next to
them so they can discuss the question together. Finally, I will then lead a
group discussion so people can talk in front of the whole group and
discuss how they have implemented office 365 in the past week, what
ideas they have had, and what more they want to learn!

Introduction (30 minutes)- This session is going to be dedicated to the

benefits of living completely online! I have dedicated a lot of this PD time
for teachers to actually move their documents to their OneDrive, because
it is a great use of time! I will start by introducing OneDrive, its uses,
functions, and features. I will be doing this a similar way to which I did in
the first session, I will project my screen for teachers to follow along with
me on their own device. After taking teachers through an introduction
one One Drive I will allow them to start personalizing their own OneDrive
so they can sync it to their device. The reason I am starting with One
Drive is that it can be linked to all other resources that we will be learning
in this PD experience, so if teachers are familiar with One Drive it will
make it much easier to move forward!
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

Activity (60 minutes)- Teachers will spend the majority of the time
switching data and organizing their OneDrive account. This is beneficial
because they will never lose their data again! Many teachers still work on
a flash drive that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged, but with
OneDrive you can get your data anywhere at any time. It can be
uploaded from any device and is updated in real time for collaboration. I
will also have teachers create a shared document that lives in their
OneDrive folder that consists of tips and tricks for them to access at any
time. I will point out that this is great for collaboration with teachers
when you don’t have a common planning.

Closure (15 minutes)- For closure I will have teacher first individually
reflect on the benefits of using OneDrive. I want them to reflect on how
they plan on implementing this into their classroom and how it will
change their current practices. Next I will have teachers turn and talk to
their neighbors so they can discuss it as a small group. Finally, I will lead a
whole group discussion about how OneDrive is useful in the classroom
and how it can make a teacher’s life a lot easier!

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Day 3 Warm-up (10 minutes)- I always do a warm-up in my classes rather than

jump right into the material because I feel like it helps relax students and
(2 hours) can refresh them on the material we learned previously. In today’s
warm-up I will ask teachers to first individually reflect on their uses of

reflections I will have teachers turn and talk to their partners next to
them so they can discuss the question together. Finally, I will then lead a
group discussion so people can talk in front of the whole group and
discuss how they have implemented office 365 in the past week, what
ideas they have had, and what more they want to learn!

Introduction (20 minutes): This session is going to be dedicated to

Yammer and Microsoft classroom, both are tools that are great for
communication and socializing with coworkers and students. I will first
introduce the two tools one at a time by projecting my screen for
teachers to follow along. I will be sure to highlight the advantages of
using Yammer and Classroom such as, messaging, file sharing linked to
OneDrive, group communication, and more! This will be an informally
structure introduction, so teachers can ask me questions whenever
necessary.

Activity (60 minutes): During the activity teachers will work individually to
set up their classroom page and to create a Yammer group. Teachers will
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

set up their classroom page with their actual student’s accounts so that
they can use it in the future. The Yammer page can also be linked to their
classroom account so that students can access their group. Teachers will
be required to create, add information too, and share both their
classroom site and yammer site with the rest of the PD session
participants. Teachers can work together to figure out what tools are
best to use and in what way setting up the classroom and yammer site
will work best!

Closure (15 minutes): I would love it if some brave teacher would come
to the front of the room and showcase their classroom and yammer
account for us and describe a bit about it. If not, For closure I will have
teacher first individually reflect on the benefits of using Yammer and
Microsoft Classroom. I want them to reflect on how they plan on
implementing this into their classroom and how it will change their
current practices. Next I will have teachers turn and talk to their
neighbors so they can discuss it as a small group. Finally, I will lead a
whole group discussion about how both Yammer and Microsoft
classroom is useful in the classroom and how it can make a teacher’s life
a lot easier!

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Day 4 Warm-up (10 minutes)- I always do a warm-up in my classes rather than

Finally, I will then lead a group discussion so people can talk in front of
the whole group and discuss how they have implemented office 365 in
the past week, what ideas they have had, and what more they want to
learn!

Introduction (20 minutes)- In this PD session I will begin by giving

teachers a short overview of OneNote and OneNote Class Notebook. I
will have them log into their accounts and follow along with me on their
own devices as I go through setting on my screen which will be projected
for them to see. I will introduce what OneNote is, how it can be used in
the classroom, and some of its most useful features such as creating tabs
and pages, drawing write on the screen, draw to text, uploading
documents, pictures, videos, screencasts, and audio into your binder. I
will also review classnotebook by creating a mock class where they are
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

the students so they are able to see both what the student sees and what
the teacher could see. I would stress the fact that this app allows for
individualiezed differentiated instruction because teachers can go into
each notebook and comment on each student’s work.

Activity (60 minutes) – for this PD sessions activity I would like teachers to
play around with OneNote and become familiar with its features. I would
like them to create their own OneNote notebook as well as a class
notebook. By doing this they will start to see how useful OneNote can be
in the classroom. I will encourage teachers to work together, ask
questions, and explore all the resources OneNote has to offer.

Closure (15 minutes)- I will showcase a teachers OneNote and Class

Notebook account in front of the class and ask for them to describe a bit
about it for us. If not, for closure I will have teacher first individually
reflect on the benefits of using OneNote and Class Notebook. I want
them to reflect on how they plan on implementing this into their
classroom and how it will change their current practices. Next I will have
teachers turn and talk to their neighbors so they can discuss it as a small
group. Finally, I will lead a whole group discussion about how both
OneNote and Class Notebook are useful in the classroom and how it can
make a teacher’s life a lot easier!

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Day 5 Warm-up (10 minutes)- I always do a warm-up in my classes rather than

jump right into the material because I feel like it helps relax students and
(2 hours) can refresh them on the material we learned previously. In today’s
warm-up I will ask teachers to first individually reflect on their uses of
Forms and Excel Microsoft Office 365 since the last time we meet. I want them to
specifically focus on how they have used OneNote and Class notebook!
After individual reflections I will have teachers turn and talk to their
partners next to them so they can discuss the question together. Finally, I
will then lead a group discussion so people can talk in front of the whole
group and discuss how they have implemented office 365 in the past
week, what ideas they have had, and what more they want to learn!

Introduction (20 minutes)- As an introduction for this professional

development session I will go over the basics of Microsoft Forms and
Excel. I decided to lump these to apps together because they go hand in
hand. Forms can export data directly into excel so that it is easier to
analyze and graph it! I will start by discussing forms, what it is, how it is
used, why it is useful in the classroom, and some of it’s amazing features.
From there I will show them some of the Microsoft forms I have created
so they have an idea of what they can be used for. I will have them take a
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

quick form and then I will collect the data and show teachers how I can
easily export it to excel and using all the features that I am familiar with I
can analyze the data.

Activity (60 minutes) – For this sessions activity I will first have teachers
list how they could use forms and excel in their classroom, focusing
specifically on how they could have STUDENTS use forms and excel in the
classroom. I will then have them create their own Microsoft Form and
share it with teachers in the PD session. After they have collected
responses I will have them analyze and share their data.

Closure (15 minutes)- I will showcase a teachers Forms or Excel account in

front of the class and ask for them to describe a bit about it for us. If no
one is up for sharing, for closure I will have teacher first individually
reflect on the benefits of using forms and Excel in the classroom. I want
them to reflect on how they plan on implementing this into their
classroom and how it will change their current practices. Next I will have
teachers turn and talk to their neighbors so they can discuss it as a small
group. Finally, I will lead a whole group discussion about how both
Microsoft Office Forms and Excel are useful in the classroom and how it
can make a teacher’s life a lot easier, especially when it comes to grading!

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Day 6 Warm-up (10 minutes)- I always do a warm-up in my classes rather than

jump right into the material because I feel like it helps relax students and
(2 hours) can refresh them on the material we learned previously. In today’s
warm-up I will ask teachers to first individually reflect on their uses of
Sway and Microsoft Office 365 since the last time we meet. I want them to
Powerpoint specifically focus on how they have used Forms and Excel! After
individual reflections I will have teachers turn and talk to their partners
next to them so they can discuss the question together. Finally, I will
then lead a group discussion so people can talk in front of the whole
group and discuss how they have implemented office 365 in the past
week, what ideas they have had, and what more they want to learn!

Introduction (20 minutes)- This PD session is focused on presentation

tools that are easy to use in order to create engaging presentations. I will
focus more of my introduction on Sway since many people are familiar
with PowerPoint already, but I will definitely save time to talk about
PowerPoint Mix and fun feature for teachers to use in order to flip their
classroom. In my introduction I will discuss how Sway and PowerPoint
can be used to create engaging lessons and presentations but specifically
focus on how students can use this in the classroom as well. This is a
Mary McEwan My Internet Thing Project May 2017

great way to have students create something digital that’s more than just
a poster board.

Activity (60 minutes) – In this activity I want teachers to play around with
Microsoft Office Sway and PowerPoint Mix so that they can become more
familiar with these resources. I specifically want them to start and create
their own resource that they can use in their classroom either as part of
their material or as an example of student made projects. Teachers will
be encouraged to work together, explore each resources, and ask
questions along the way!

Closure (15 minutes)- For closure, I would like a teacher to come up and
share with us either a PowerPoint mix that they made, or a sway
presentation that they made and describe a bit about it. If no one is up
for sharing, for closure I will have teacher first individually reflect on the
benefits of using PowerPoint and Sway in the classroom. I want them to
reflect on how they plan on implementing this into their classroom and
how it will change their current practices, and specifically what they liked
and didn’t like about the programs in terms of user friendliness. Next I
will have teachers turn and talk to their neighbors so they can discuss it
as a small group. Finally, I will lead a whole group discussion about how
both Microsoft Office Sway and PowerPoint are useful in the classroom
and how it can make a teacher’s life a lot easier, especially when it comes
to activities, lectures, and presentations!

Survey (5 minutes)- At the end of the session teachers will fill out a survey
to rate their session so that I can get a better understanding of what I
should be doing in the future based on what they liked and didn’t like
about the session. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VTJBPMC)

Keys to the Future: Align Work Force Readiness Skills to Ensure Student Success
Cushing Anderson and John F. Gantz
April 2016
https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2016/06/US41207816.pdf
In the article “Keys to the Future: Align Workforce Readiness Skills to Ensure Student Success”,
IDC conducted research to determine the most in-demand skills in today’s workforce, and the
skills needed for tomorrow’s best jobs. We know that as teachers our mission is to empower
every student to achieve more, and how we can use technology to help students achieve the
skill set that employers are looking for! IDC reviewed more than 76 million job postings, 25,000
job board and staffing companies corporate website to identify the positions expected to have
the highest anticipated growth and wages through 2024. They discovered that the top 20 most
required skills across all occupations in addition to proficiency in Microsoft Office (#4) and
Microsoft PowerPoint (#16) included oral and written communication skills, detail orientation,
marketing skills, integrity and customer service orientation. This data helps encourage
educators to seek better ways to prepare students for life beyond K-12 instruction as the
number of skills those students will need to be successful continues to grow. By using the
Microsoft Office 365 suite we are empowering our students with the collaboration,
communication, critical thinking, and creativity skills that they will need to be successful. We as
educators need to take advantages of Microsoft Office’s online tools and professional
development resources to prepare our students for the new workforce!

In this article the author describes why one school district made the switch to a Microsoft Office
365 account. The primary reason? ITS FREE! Microsoft Office 365 is free for educational
institutions and provides all of the necessary trainings needed to jump start your district’s use of
the technology. But why Microsoft over Google? Well Microsoft is so intuitive, user friendly,
and many people are familiar with using it already. It was a no brainer to make the switch to a
technology that was so dedicated to education, was free, and easy to use!
