Many of us look back fondly on our school days, remembering a teacher who made a lasting impact, becoming a positive influence that stayed with us. Now, as adults, with a better understanding of the workload teachers had and their ability to shape lives, we can appreciate not just our favourite teachers, but all teachers even more.

As Skolon is a smart platform that collates all digital tools and resources in one place that gives teachers and students easy and equal access in just a few clicks, we wanted to share five of the ways that Skolon supports teachers in their mission to educate the next generation this World Teacher’s Day.

1) Streamlining access to digital resources

In the digital age, we can all appreciate the convenience technology affords us, and Skolon users are no exception to that. Skolon was designed by teachers, for teachers and therefore supports teachers in their mission by consolidating all of the digital tools and resources used in teaching into one handy platform. 

A key component of our platform is the array of functions that are available for streamlining access, namely Skolon Pass – our QR code functionality that aids single-sign on so that teachers can provide their pupils with the easiest login experience possible, removing potential distractions and classroom delays.

This streamlined process makes it easy to launch tools directly – be it a tool that’s already integrated or a link added by the teacher for all students or selected classes, so that all of the digital resources that are needed for the school can be found in one place.

2) Simplifying classroom management

A lot can go on in a classroom and Skolon supports teachers by simplifying elements of classroom management by:

• Providing a clear, organised overview of student progress, tasks, and digital resources in one platform.
• Smart tools to aid lesson planning and make seating plans.
• Offering easy access to student data and performance insights, helping teachers maintain control, even in hybrid or digital classrooms.

By simplifying classroom management, Skolon helps teachers remain organised, so they can focus on teaching and supporting their students.

3) Encouraging personalised learning

There are many different learning styles that can benefit the pupils in one classroom, and personalised learning is key to ensuring that each child can feel supported in reaching their potential. Skolon empowers teachers to tailor digital tools and resources to meet individual student needs. With personalised dashboards, teachers can adapt their approach to cater to different learning speeds, styles, and preferences.

Teachers can also make use of our AI tools to customise lessons and assignments, ensuring they’re engaging for students at all levels. By encouraging personalised learning, Skolon enhances engagement and helps students achieve better educational outcomes.

4) Enhancing student engagement

Research has shown that children and young people have shorter attention spans than ever, therefore making it a challenge to keep pupils engaged. Skolon offers interactive tools like ClickView, which integrates videos, quizzes, and gamified learning to make lessons more dynamic and enjoyable. These tools encourage active participation from students, fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment.

Interactive content has been proven to improve student retention of information, and the Skolon platform ensures that teachers have the resources needed to keep their students interested and motivated.

5) Access to an INCREDIBLE amount of resources

With Skolon, it’s easier than ever to find, buy and start using new digital resources and tools. Our international library is full of tools that you can easily search for and filter by subject, school year or category.

With tools and resources ranging from e-books and apps, including familiar favourites such as Canva, there’s something for everyone, whatever the subject, interest or key stage.

Here’s to you, teachers!

From streamlining access to digital resources, simplifying classroom management, promoting personalised learning, to enhancing student engagement with interactive content, Skolon empowers teachers in their mission to educate the next generation.
