Teams updates to enhance classroom engagement November 2023 – Part 1
Microsoft Reflect is a Learning Accelerator that supports students in developing essential social, emotional, and academic skills. Reflect provides a platform for creating meaningful check-ins to gain insights into students’ wellbeing and learning needs. It also includes a variety of ready-to-use activities, such as brain breaks and breathing exercises, that can help students to relax and focus. One of the newest brain breaks is mindful coloring, which can be a powerful way to foster student wellbeing and engagement. Mindful coloring features the Feelings Monster, a friendly character that expresses different emotions, and allows students to explore their own feelings through art. By using digital coloring pages in Reflect, students can have a creative and therapeutic outlet that can enhance their mood and motivation. You can try the mindful coloring activities in Reflect and see how they can benefit your students and your classroom!
Reading Progress is a Learning Accelerator that automatically records and evaluates how students are progressing in their reading skills. It helps educators to provide individualized support and feedback to each student based on their reading strengths and areas for improvement. Reading Progress can measure students’ reading speed, accuracy, and prosody across different reading assignments and levels. Now, you can access new clickable cards in the Reading Progress grading view, which allow you to see a summary of each student’s reading performance and growth. You can also compare the progress of your whole class and identify patterns and trends. The clickable cards make it easy and convenient for you to monitor and track your students’ reading fluency and comprehension.
