Using OneDrive in Social Studies

Mr Richard Meikle recently used OneDrive with his Year Ten Social Studies class to allow multiple students to work on the same PowerPoint file at the same time.

Students worked in groups of four to create a PowerPoint presentation about South Africa. One group member saved the PowerPoint file to the School's OneDrive and shared this file with his other group members.

"Using OneDrive to store the file was great as it allowed all students to work on the same file at any time. They could even access it from home."

As OneDrive files save to the cloud/internet, there were no issues with students saving work to their own computers or using a memory stick. Mr Meikle was impressed with the simplicity of using OneDrive.

"Using OneDrive was surprisingly simple and I asked all groups to also share their PowerPoint with me too so I could easily see their progress."

Here is a short video clip about how to use OneDrive with your classes.
