Teaching with Microsoft Teams

Teaching with Microsoft Teams

This course for teachers, professors and other educational users starts right at the beginning, with finding and opening Microsoft Teams, both online and in the desktop app, and walks you through creating a class team, adding Google and DropBox, and uploading files.  From there we work through setting up channels and tabs, which are the heart of Teams communication and collaboration, and form the organizational structure of your Class Team. We will continue with adding students and co-teachers, and creating assignments.  Regarding assignments, we will show you how to distribute attachments, link videos and files, attach and reuse rubrics and quizzes, and use the grade book in Teams.  You can add soft due dates and hard deadlines, and schedule assignments to appear at a later time, in any channel you want. We will also show you how to harness the organizational features of a OneNote Class Notebook and how they benefit students and teachers.  Accessibility features throughout Teams will also be a special focus of the course, particularly the entire suite of reading accessibility tools known as Immersive Reader. Since this course originated in the early days of COVID, it also includes ways to utilize the Meetings features in Teams for fully remote learning, and hybrid classroom scenarios, many of which are still beneficial in a traditional face to face classroom.
