TEL Recommends

My top digital proficiency tip is - get to grips with PowerPoint, and build presentations that really engage! Much-maligned, PowerPoint is capable of so much more than we give it credit for, and the 'problem with PowerPoint' tends to be user-defined rather than the platform itself.

Tools and apps like Trello or Microsoft Planner really help me to stay organised, manage projects, work more efficiently and stay focused on what's important. Plus, it's really easy to switch over to Microsoft Teams from Planner and create new teams based on existing plans.
