COLLEGE
This page of curated content has been developed to support our students engaging in distance learning in order to provide continuity. Using the online platform of Microsoft Office 365, Marist College will try and limit the impact of school closures by giving learners access to materials, support, classwork and feedback.
Office 365 Education is a collection of services that allows teachers to collaborate, share resources and schoolwork with your students and fellow teachers. It's available for free to teachers and students. It has several built-in features that allow for effective distance learning.
Office 365 will allow our teachers to communicate, share resources, assign work and offer feedback to students. As well as being able to submit work, students also have the ability to communicate and collaborate with each other.
