Session Description: Microsoft Teams is a great all-in-one hub for the collaborative classroom. This “basics” session will introduce you to channels, tabs and posts which are the foundation of communication and collaboration in Microsoft Teams. When used with remote learning best practices, these building blocks can help you create a welcoming environment for your students. Join us to make the best use of these tools to provide structure for your remote learning environment. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

  1. Learn about Microsoft Teams settings and options;

  2. Understand how to use channels to foster student communication; and

  3. Plan for the use of Microsoft Teams to support instruction.
