Using ‘Teams’ for Extra-Curricular

purposes

How we use Teams post lock down • Useful for creating ‘clubs’/’teams’ • Relaying messages quickly and easily to students• I have the app on my phone (off topic, but I ‘ping’ GCSE PE articles to a ‘wider reading’

channel, BBC sport news etc)

• Could set up challenges etc. • A running could be set up? They could easily post their Starva pictures to you privately or in

the group• I am about to trial a ‘Well-being’ group with a Year 8 group that I teach (Priory 10)

How to create a ‘team’…

To all

However…

• We also use Squad in Touch for all our clubs (registers) and fixtures (team sheets with details all created on here). Not just for PE.

• Parents are notified when their child is required at fixtures/clubs • It allows easy access for data to be drawn up quickly and easily (sub

groups etc) – key for Ofsted • We are having a real push on ‘inclusive clubs’ at the moment, really

encouraging PP/SEN students to attend• They also have a ‘challenge’ league app feature new this year
