![]() Overall, C2K and Northgate have impressed me! My initial excitement about this new interface was only multiplied after the course and I have since introduced (very briefly) MySchool to my own colleagues who also seemed very enthused. Although this was not fully operational on the day of training, we did get an insight and again it looked very straight forward. ![]() MySchool Administration is accessed on the right and will be the new control panel for the C2K manager. The management console that we currently work with will also be replaced. This stands beside a slim bar on the right hand side that includes links to things like word, documents and Fronter. The school calendar and pupil timetables will be imported from SIMs. In the centre of the page are a series of widgets that include things like BBC education, the weather and a calendar. HODs? Office staff? All staff? I’m not yet sure! It might be the time to open a discussion about who it will be delegated to. Very handy! A point to note is that only the C2K manager has the permission to post a message until this role has been delegated to others. Notices can be sent to individual pupils, one class or the whole school. Just below the banner is a notice board that is highly visible and will quickly become indispensable for office staff I imagine. Likewise does navigating the page itself. This can be uploaded by your C2K manager and seems to be a very simple process. The banner is fully customisable and will include your school name and crest. The professional look of the interface has clearly taken C2K a lot of time and it is evident they have thought carefully about how to include as many interesting features for pupils and teachers alike. If you were expecting to see MySchool on Monday 3rd September, you won’t! But, that thankfully was the only negative point of the day. I did feel a little unlucky later in the week however when announced to a packed #nibeermeet that I was one of the ‘lucky ones’ as the questions started coming and the pressure started to grow! They soon worked out the new boy didn’t know much and didn’t ask again but I’ve since thought about it and here is an overview.įirstly, the rumours are true, the rollout has been delayed. because little did I know that I would be one of only 20 educators in Northern Ireland to get to play with the new resource as all other sessions after were cancelled (I swear I didn’t break it!). ![]() Because I was very excited to get a glimpse of the new and improved service which is MySchool and 2. Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to have been invited to a ‘MySchool Familiarisation Day’ in Brownlow College. ![]()
