Teacher’s Corner - Emma

March 16, 2024

We sat down with Emma, a year 11-13 ‘Digital Technologies’ teacher based in Bream Bay, whose experience with Teacher’s Buddy has not only reshaped her approach to class preparation but also unlocked hours of free time to enjoy the upcoming school break.

Transformative Planning and Resources

Emma embarked on her Teacher’s Buddy journey seeking a better way to manage her course scoping, lesson planning, and resource creation.

"The Course Scope function was a game-changer," Emma shares, "allowing me to swiftly craft course outlines, lesson plans, worksheets and slide decks. It was particularly invaluable for the new Level 1 NCEA course, where resources were scarce. Teacher’s Buddy filled that gap with ease, transforming scant information into a treasure trove of guidance and resources."

Workspaces & Secondary Prompts - Seamless Integration and Efficiency

The magic didn't stop there. Emma is delighted by the platform's intuitive design, emphasising the seamless integration between its various features.

"Creating separate workspaces for different classes was a breeze, and the way features communicate with each other streamlined my planning process significantly."

This interconnectedness meant that course scopes could effortlessly evolve into detailed lesson plans and tailored resources for each course, all within a few clicks.

‘Find Resources’ - A Gateway to Hidden Gems

Venturing further, Emma discovered the 'Find Resources' function, a portal to a world of online materials she had previously been unaware of.

"It was like finding a hidden gem, saving me hours of sifting through Google for topic-specific resources. I discovered really useful sites and online resources that I didn't know existed."

The Gift of Time

Reflecting on her experience, Emma’s enthusiasm is written all over her face. Emma's enthusiasm is palpable.

"The most significant gift Teacher’s Buddy has given me is time, tasks that used to eat up my hours now take minutes, transforming dread into anticipation for both teaching and the upcoming School break."

A Call to Reclaim Your Time

As Emma's story illustrates, Teacher’s Buddy is more than a tool; it's a pathway to transformation — turning hours of work into minutes of productivity, and opening up precious time to live more fully outside the classroom. Because teachers need playtime too! 

Let Teacher’s Buddy revolutionise your teaching experience. Reclaim your holidays and enjoy the break you deserve, just like Emma.
