Flipped learning with SQOOL
“I’ve been using the flipped classroom approach for about seven years. The first challenge I faced was the lack of digital tools. Then, two years ago, we were provided with computers in the classroom, and that really transformed my use of the flipped classroom and made my day-to-day work much smoother.”
Physics and Chemistry teacher at Lycée Blaise Pascal, Orsay (91)
Parental controls as a link between school and home
“What matters to us is the relationship with parents regarding this tool. We can help students take responsibility, but we also need to help parents do the same. This parental control tool (SQOOL Protect) enables us to build that connection and work on it together.“
President of the Pyrénées-Orientales Department (66)
Clear and reassuring support
“Everything was clear and well organised, which put everyone at ease. The visit to the UNOWHY campus for ERUN was greatly appreciated and helped us get to grips with the MDM so that we can better support teachers.”
Head of IT Services, Chaville (92)
Responsiveness and flexibility in support of teachers
“The workshops’ responsiveness and ability to adapt to requests proved to be a real asset. Regular technical tests enabled the tools to be fine-tuned and helped to maintain teachers’ commitment to the roll-out of digital technology.”
