Prepare for the live lesson
Start by downloading the teacher support guide, which outlines how to prepare your devices, how to submit student questions for our special guest, and how to set up your classroom for an interactive experience.
In this one-hour lesson your students will:
Get a sneak-peak of the first Festival lesson: how is technology improving sport?
In the run-up to the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, students will question how innovation is reshaping performance, fairness and the spirit of competition. They, and you, will be introduced to the first topic together so you know what to expect when you teach it. You’ll debate some of the big questions, hear live from an expert and be able to share your views.
Learn how to use the Student Hub
We’ll share examples of how the Hub works so students are able to familiarise themselves with the different types of activities. Following the live launch, they’ll have the rest of the week to acclimatise and join the introductory discussions.
Connect with students from around the world
You’ll be able to say hello, live, to the Festival classes you’ll be working with, plus share opinions and feedback via polls and comments.
