Writing digital lesson notes

Step by step

1Digital learning

Open Digital learning from the menu. On the left are the classes you teach. Choose one to see its notes.

2New note

Press New note. Give it a title, and a line about what it covers. Pupils see that line above the lessons.

3The page

Your note opens. Its lessons are on the left, the lesson you are writing is in the middle, and on the right is what your class sees of it. Everything saves by itself as you type.

4Title and heading

Name the lesson. Then write. Choose Heading 1 from the text style list for a heading.

5Bold and superscript

Bold, italic and underline work as in any word processor. Subscript and superscript are here too, for H 2 O, x squared, and fractions like three over four.

6Lists and highlight

Use a numbered or bulleted list for steps, and the highlighter for the line your class must remember.

7A table

For a table, press the table button and choose its size. Then type into the cells.

8Everything else

There is also text colour, alignment, indents, quotes, links, pictures, and a divider. And if you paste from Word, your headings, lists and tables come with it.

9Saved

All changes saved. You never press Save, though Control S works if you are used to it.
