If you're new to the district or have just never used Microsoft Teams before I encourage you to familiarize yourself with it. It is a powerful communication and collaboration platform used by most of the district to send quick chat messages or attend virtual meetings.

Note: Just like Outlook, Teams is available both as a website and a desktop app. I personally recommend the desktop app for more reliable functionality and desktop notifications.

Ready to jump into Teams? If so, this 10-minute tutorial will go over almost every function that you'll need to know to be able to use it successfully, including:

• Signing in

• Navigating the app

• Joining or creating a "team"

• Chatting

• Posting and Conversation settings

• Calendar
