Last year we focused in Powys on digital training for Citizenship (strand 1) and Information Literacy (part of strand 4) of the Digital Competence Framework.
This year, schools are encouraged to focus on the remaining strands, namely Interacting and Collaborating (strand 2) and Producing (strand 3). These courses are listed in the ERW prospectus here ERW Professional Learning Prospectus.
Requested training should be consistent with the outcomes of Core Visit 1 meetings with the school Challenge Adviser.
Dates in Powys are being released for the Autumn term in mid-Powys, to be repeated in North and South Powys during Spring/Summer 2018. Available dates may be booked online at: http://training.mikeisted.com/events/category/erw-menu-2017-2018

Hwb email and Distribution Groups

Q
The teachers here are planning on migrating from our school e-mail system to only use hwb as their sole e-mailing service. I was just curious about whether or not we can create our own distribution lists on the Hwb e-mail system because currently we have lists like Admin list and All-staff. These are very helpful in quickly sending e-mails to multiple people at once and I was unsure if we would have this feature in Hwb.
A
So yes, this is all possible.
If email is being managed via O365 Mail in a web browser, then new Contact Lists can be set up through the People icon (lower left).
Once named (and with members added). The list is automatically picked up with typing in the To field in an email.
That’s the simplest option to get started. Later, the school might want to consider sharing email and other resources like files between groups of staff in a similar way using Teams.

Pupils and staff can create j2bloggy sites which use industry standard WordPress. However, the usual way of deleting a site from the site dashboard is turned off. So how can unwanted sites be deleted, for example when a pupil leaves?
This is done from the “main school site”.
Log in to the main school site as a teacher, go to the dashboard and find the link in the side bar called “all sites”. Click it and from the resulting page you should be able to find and delete a pupils site.
Note that sites can also be archived, which means they can still be retrieved at a later date but are no longer live.
Forwarding Hwb email automatically

Managing your Hwb account and another professional account (say .gov) can be easy if things are set up properly. The best way is to manage both in one place using Desktop Outlook on a laptop or PC: this is highly recommended for all school Head Teachers and Administrators (in Powys, call IT Services to set up). However, another option is to automatically forward Hwb email to your .gov address, which helps but needs to be read with the caveats below.
Here is a new video demonstrating how to set your O365 email account in Hwb to automatically forward to a different address.
j2e: https://www.j2e.com/0111/Mike+Isted/Training+Videos/forwardEmail.mp4
Note that emails forwarded in this way appear to have come from yourself (because they have!). This means that when replying, it’s easy to accidentally reply to your Hwb account rather than the person that originally sent the email to you. So to reply, remember to copy the email of the sender and paste it into the ‘To..’ field.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This facility is intended to help reduce workload by sending Hwb email to another professional (say .gov) address. It should NOT be used to send Hwb email to a personal address.
Also, emails containing sensitive information should not be sent between different systems unless you know that the necessary technical arrangements are in place. For guidance, sensitive information would include information such as IEPs and medical information.
