Introduction 
Today revolves around just 6 HOW2 teaching techniques:

• Entry Routines (online version)
• Feedback and Assessment with e‑textbooks
• GOs as Advanced Organisers
• iTransform (online version)
• Pilot and Navigator (with tips on using HOW2s)
• Think Pair Share with e‑textbooks

These 6 HOW2 teaching techniques have been chosen because they:

• rapidly develop online teaching confidence
• promote online pedagogical knowledge and skills
• see you getting maximum reward for minimum effort
• see students working meaningfully and independently of you
• can be used online and in the classroom
• ensure learning checks are taking place regularly
• can be used as part of planning
• ​‘work’ with any age group in all curriculum areas

Using just six HOW2s also makes it easier to get everyone working together on the same thing, which is, we think, particularly important at this time. 

If you have already activated your HOW2 account, you will find these 6 techniques here on the app.

In Session 1, you will have time to:

1. explore 6 HOW2 teaching techniques

2. decide which ones to consider adding to your practice 

3. narrow down your focus by choosing one(s) to work on 

4. make notes on adapting this HOW2(s) as part of your teaching 

5. use the app’s Skills Exchange to capture and share your learning

Be ready to share your learning in Session 2 

In Session 2, you will have time in a X‑faculty/departmental group to: 

1. (one of you) use the app’s group feature to create a group (to make it easier for you all to ​“chat” online and share notes with each other) 

2. share your learning from Session 1 

3. contribute to your colleagues as they share their learning from Session 1 with you 

4. review your notes on how you would adapt your chosen HOW2(s) to use as part of your teaching 

The video below will take you through 1 – 4

In Session 3, you will have time in a faculty/departmental group to:
