- Welcome to this Microsoft Teams
for Education webinar.
My name's Dominic, and I'm part
of the Teams Product Group.
The topic today is online classes
and lectures with all of your students,
and this is the second
part in a two-part series.
In the first part, the class was created,
and now we'll be focusing on
scheduling the online meeting,
which is for your
virtual class or lecture.
The agenda for day is to go through
the scheduling process itself,
which is quick and easy
now that you've got your class created.
The approach to delivering
and effective online meeting
and best practices to make
sure that you can be confident
that you have then the ability
to manage that online class or lecture,
and then resources to help
you get started today.
Now if you haven't
created a class team yet
and added your students,
you do need to do that
to be able to follow along
with the content you're about to see.
So please head to
aka.ms/TeamsEduSetupClass
for the first part of this session.
But if you've got your class you are ready
and in the right place
to now schedule that online
meeting with your students.
As a quick reminder,
everything that you'll be seeing covered
is part of Microsoft Teams for Education,
which is free and available
to all educators, staff, and students
in schools, colleges, and universities.
And this means you can
host online Teams meetings
with up to 250 attendees,
and you have the ability to
then record those meetings
and make them available on demand
as part of cloud recording
at no additional cost.
For those who have requirements
for then doing things like
dial-in voice conferencing
or needing to scale to very large numbers,
so being able to broadcast
up to 10,000 attendees,
there are also available add-ons.
But for the purposes of today,
this will be very much focused
on the free capabilities
of Microsoft teams for education,
meaning that all educators,
staff, and students
can host an online Teams meeting.
And so this is powerful
for both yourselves
as educators and staff members
to host sessions with colleagues
and of course your students,
but also empowering students
to be able to do their
own online meetings,
which is great for, for example,
student group collaboration
or students doing remote study
groups and other scenarios.
Now the methodology that we'll be focusing
is on how to run
effective online meetings,
and that has three parts,
before, during, and after.
Now in the before phase, we
already created the class team,
so the focus will now be to schedule
that online class or lecture.
Let me head over to Microsoft Teams app
to get the process started.
For the online lesson, we're
actually going to schedule that
in a team that I've pre-created
with a bit more back and
forth with existing students.
So let me show you what that looks like.
So going to the B102 Business Studies,
you'll see here we have
now an existing team.
And to do a quick recap,
so to get to this point, you've
now created a class team,
your students are all added.
And as we can see here,
we're already starting
to have a conversation back and forth
in the message space.
We wanna now arrange our
first week online lesson.
To do that, you can see
here we have now a channel
for Week 1 - Entrepreneurship,
but again you can give this
whatever name your choose,
but it is helpful to base it around weeks
or key topics in your course.
Go the calendar to schedule
the online meeting.
Here you will see all of
my existing then meetings,
whether they are from
Outlook as in-person meetings
or also for Teams meetings,
because Microsoft Teams
being part of Office 365
it's one calendar that all works together
as part of Exchange Online.
Because we have a class already created,
arranging our online meeting
is really straight forward.
To do so, I simply pick the date and time
I would like the online meeting
to occur with my students.
You can see from the top here I can pick
any date in the calendar.
I just simply choose when that is.
For right now though, I
will have my week one,
which would be at 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
To select the time, I simply
go over and click on it.
You'll see here this opens
up the meeting invite.
What I simply do is give it a title.
So we're gonna call this one Week 1
Entrepreneurship.
The location, if we did
have a lecture theater,
we could also put in the location
or if you have a classroom.
But because this is an
online Teams meeting,
I'm gonna leave it blank,
and I'm also then gonna add in here
the additional bit of
context for my students.
So this is where I'll just say,
"Hi students.
"For week one, we'll be meeting online
"for the content I'll be teaching you."
It's really powerful because
we already have the class.
To be able to invite my students,
I don't have to type
in all of their names.
I simply say I wanna meet in the context
of the course itself.
You can see here there's
my business studies.
And then there are the different channels.
So we're going to have our
week one online meeting
in the context of the Week 1 channel.
You can see here this is a
Microsoft Teams online meeting.
Everyone can join online.
What's powerful about this though
is only the students in this course
will be invited to this.
So what this means is all of the students
will receive a calendar invite,
but it's now localized to the
scope of the course itself.
Simply click on Schedule.
And you will see what this
has done is that now have
in the Week 1 - Entrepreneurship
the online meeting has
now been posted here.
So all of my students can
see that we'll be meeting
on Friday at 10:00 a.m.
As well as also if I go
back to the calendar,
I can now also see that
it is in the calendar.
So this will also appear
in your Outlook calendar,
because they are one and the same.
So even if you're using
the Outlook desktop client,
you have the ability to see it here.
If you make a typo, you can always go back
and click on Edit.
For example, actually, this
is a one-hour online class.
I'm just going to amend
that and click Update.
There we go.
One other piece of advice.
Depending on the way that
you want to run your class
or your online lecture.
When I go back to my week one meeting,
I can click on Meeting options.
What this allows is for me to define
who will be able to present.
Now, if I leave this as Everyone,
this does mean that students
can also present their content.
So if you are looking to present
and have a back and forth with students,
this can be ideal.
If you're looking to do, say, a lecture,
and only you want to be presenting,
you don't want students to
interrupt the recording,
you don't want them to be able
to present their desktops,
and ensure that you have the full control
over the online meeting,
this is where I would suggest
that you have maybe only specific people
if you have say a teaching
assistant, or just yourself.
When I click Save, this will now mean
only myself as the person
who has arranged the meeting
will be able to then present
and manage the recording.
Getting back over into the class now,
one thing that's also a
great practice again before,
we now run our online class
is to make sure that we share
resources with students,
particularly if you wanna make sure
that they review them
before the online meeting.
To do that, I simply go over
to the main conversation space,
and I can then format this.
When I click on that A for format,
it gives me additional options.
And what I'll be able to do here
is then go through and type
out a message for my students.
Let's give this a title or a subject.
I'll say "Review materials before class."
And one of the key things to keep in mind
with Microsoft Teams
when you are in a channel
is to make sure you use at mentions.
What at mentions do is it
will notify then either
individual students, groups of students,
or everyone in your class.
I want all of my students to receive this,
and this will then send
a pop-up notification
on their device,
whether it's their phone,
their laptop, their tablet,
and I'm going to mention
everyone in the team.
So just by typing @team
it automatically knows
the team that I'm in.
And I'm just going to
paste in the message here,
"Students, please review
the week one slides
"before our class on Friday."
Now, I could of course then
have to try and tell students
where those materials are.
But because I previously have uploaded it,
I can quite simply then reference them
by clicking on the attach.
I could upload a material right here,
but I don't want students
to make edits to the slides.
So that's why I uploaded those
previously to the channel
in General.
And in General, we have
the Class Materials folder
where students cannot make edits,
so only myself can make
the edits to this slides
and my students will
have a view of read-only.
By clicking Share, what
this means is my students
will be able to see the slides,
but not edit the slides,
and great for them to come prepared
to the online class itself.
By clicking Send, that will now send out
a push notification to all of my students.
The last step before we
host our online class
is to make sure our device is ready.
The number one reason for people saying,
"Can you hear me? I can't hear you."
is because they often haven't selected
the right microphone or the
right speaker on their device,
and we have a really
easy way that we can just
double check and make
sure everything is ready.
If I go up and click on My Profile,
and you'll see here right now Ken is the
example user that I've logged
in as, and click on Settings.
From Devices, this is
where I can go through
and double check the devices.
So make sure you have the right speaker,
the right microphone selected,
particularly if you are plugged
in to say multiple monitors.
And if I scroll down,
I can also double check that I have the
camera correctly selected.
Again, you'll wanna do this to make sure
it's an inclusive meeting.
The most important part here
is to make sure you click
on that Make a test call.
What this does it allows you
to then do a online call,
which you can hear what
their attendees will hear.
So it's a perfect way to make sure
that your speakers and
microphone are ready to go
before your online class.
Heading back to the slides for a moment.
A key thing to keep in mind
is the type of device that you use,
because the experience
for everyone involved
will depend on the quality of
the microphone and the camera.
So a laptop is a great one-on-one device,
but it's not well-suited, for example,
being in a large room if
you're in a working space
where you wanna have multiple
people all being heard.
Or, for example, if you're
in a lecture theater
or a large classroom,
again, putting a laptop
at the end of a table
is not gonna be a good
experience for those dialing in.
So be considerate of those attending,
and make sure you have a device
that is appropriate for the
type of room that you are in.
And if you go office.com/teamsdevices,
we have then Teams meeting
devices that are designed
to then make sure everyone
in the room will be heard.
If it's in a classroom space,
we wanna make sure everyone
is being able to be heard.
Or if you're in a lecture theater,
to make sure that you have a camera system
that will see you and the
content that you are presenting.
Now that we've set up the class itself,
and we have our online
class meeting schedule.
What do we do during the actual lesson?
This is where we're gonna
go through three parts,
present content to attendees,
record the session for later viewing,
and then managing
conversations and questions.
One thing to keep in mind is
as part of Microsoft
Teams online meetings,
up to 250 people can
attend with their video on,
but it's the most recent speakers
whose videos will appear
then in the view space.
Now because I'm doing
a webinar demo today,
you'll see that we
don't have the video on,
because I'll be playing the
roles of a few different people.
But what Teams then does
is it allows you to then
have everyone with live video feeds.
And just like in person,
when someone pauses speaking,
normally you would look at the next person
who has then started talking,
and that's exactly what
happens within teams
where you will see then
the most recent speaker
comes into the view if
they're not already there.
So here's an example of
what that looks like.
Let's head back into Teams
to start our online meeting.
From the calendar, you'll see
there is the Monday morning
online class that we have.
So I'm just gonna go and click on that.
And I can see which of my
students have accepted,
again, a great skill for them to develop
as part of when they
move into the workplace,
and I'll just click Join to begin.
This is where I can double check
to make sure my camera
is correctly selected,
if I want to blur the background
should I be in a shared workspace,
and also to double check the audio speaker
and also the microphone itself.
Clicking Join now, I can then also see
and add my students in.
For the purposes of this demo,
normally they of course
will join on their own
when they're ready.
And what we can see here is the students
have now come in and joined.
If I click on Show participants,
these students have now joined,
and I can see again which
students are currently in my class
that are in the online class
right now and which are not.
If a students did join and wasn't on mute,
I can always click Mute all
if they're being disruptive
and maybe got some background noise,
and a great way to let
all the students know
is I would always recommend
head over to the conversation space,
and you'll see here that I can
go through and I'll do @team,
this week's online class has started.
And that will do is send a
push notification to everyone
to let them know that the class has begun,
in addition to, of
course, they would receive
a reminder from their calendar,
but I like to do this as well
just so they get that extra
pop-up on their phone.
Going through, I can now see the
students who have currently joined.
Remember, if this was normal,
you would encourage them
all to turn their video on.
But because of the purposes
of the webinar today,
I'll be playing a few different roles.
The first thing I wanna do is
like any good then recording,
I should say good online session,
is make sure I stop the recording.
So, to do that, I simply click on
the three dot ellipses here,
and you'll see the
different options I have,
some very powerful ones
like live captions,
and I'll come back to
that in just a moment.
When I click Start recording,
this will then record
everything that is said,
all of the screen share
and all of the interactions
from a voice, video, and what's
being shared on my screen
back and forth throughout this class
or throughout this lecture.
To begin, I'm going to
now click Start recording.
You'll see what happens
is it will then pop up
with a red recording dot.
Ken has started the recording.
You are recording,
and everyone will receive a notification
that recording has begun.
Let's get into the content
itself for this session.
I can then click Share.
Now that Share button
is incredibly powerful
because it lets me share my screen,
a set of slides, or even a
collaborative whiteboard.
Now you'll see here on the left-hand side,
we have the ability to
include system audio.
So if you wanted to share something,
a music clip or something
that was on your device,
you can then also include
your system audio.
If you want to then work
together with your students
and show them something
that is not on a slide deck for example,
this is where sharing your screen
will show anything on your desktop screen.
So this is great.
If you wanted to take students
through using a program,
like let's say Adobe Photoshop
where you don't really wanna have
slides that you're talking to,
you literally wanna take them through
the application itself.
Anything on your desktop,
your students will now see,
and sharing desktop is the best approach
in a low-bandwidth environment.
You'll see here I can then
also share a specific window.
So let's say I don't want my students
to potentially see my emails pop up.
If I just share the window itself
of the application I have
opened, so for example OneNote
or again just a slide deck,
then only that window will
be visible by my students,
and a great way to make sure
your content stays private
if you have other windows
open on your desktop.
And the last option I have
is the ability to share then
directly PowerPoint slides.
And when I click on a PowerPoint slide,
what this will do is allow my students
to also be able to move through the slides
without changing the slide
that I'm currently presenting to others.
As a rule of thumb, you
definitely wanna focus on
particularly showing a
window or your desktop,
because these are great because it ensures
whatever you're sharing
your students will see,
and the PowerPoint slides are powerful
if you want students to be
able to move through the slides
for their own reference while
you're presenting to them.
Click on the slides like this,
you'll see here it says Opening
Topic 1 - Entrepreneurship.
And now we can start to go
through the content for today.
This is where now you'll just be talking
through these slides or if
you're sharing your desktop,
any application that you
have open on your desktop,
and we can start to have a
conversation with the students.
Of course if you invite your
students to come off mute,
you can then have an audio
conversation with them.
In this context though,
I'm going to use this conversation space
and ask a question for my
students to respond to.
So we're gonna here,
what do you think are good
qualities of an entrepreneur,
and I'm gonna encourage my
students to respond to that.
So give me two seconds while that happens.
So jumping back over,
you'll see here that if
I go and click on Send
from the different students
on that right-hand side,
we can see those posts come through.
If you don't wanna receive pop-ups,
this is where I can just go through
and say Do not disturb in
that top-right hand corner,
and I won't receive any pop-ups
while I'm in the middle of a lecture
or a online meeting with my students.
Now we can see here the responses
from the different students,
Terrie, Marsha, Adele.
These are all great qualities
that they believe an
entrepreneurship have,
so I'll give them some positive feedback.
And we can continue to have
the conversation back and forth
as I have then the slides open.
Now this is then the
point of view from myself
as the person who is
hosting the online lecture,
but you might be wondering
what does this then look like
from the perspective of a student.
Let me take you through
what that looks like.
Logged in as the student,
Douglas is the example here.
I can then see the calendar event
if I was to click on Calendar.
I can see the activity feed,
and this is where I can
see Ken, the educator.
As soon as I clicked on that,
it takes me straight to the
in-progress online meeting,
and this is where it's
taking me straight to then
from the point of view here,
my Week 1 - Entrepreneurship.
I see the icon that a
meeting is in progress,
and I can click Join to join
in with my fellow students.
Clicking Join, you can
see that Teams has then
intelligently identified multiple people
are already in the meeting,
so it's by default
switched off my microphone,
and I can click Join.
Bring me into the meeting itself.
This is where I then get a notification
that the recording has started.
And also, if you remember back to before,
this is where we then said
all of the students will be attendees
and not presenters.
Meaning that as a student,
I'm not going to be
able to share my desktop
and also, I cannot stop the recording
or change the recording.
Very, very useful from the
perspective of managing then
large online meetings
with lots of students,
particularly in large classes or lectures.
Now what does that look like then
from the perspective of a mobile device?
From the view on the
mobile device as a student,
I can then still see
the teams I'm a part of.
You can see here the
entrepreneurship of course
has the online meeting in progress.
Of course the calendar makes it simple
for me to be able to, just from a one tap,
join that Friday session.
I can turn on video.
I can turn on my microphone.
For the purposes of right now,
I'll leave it off because of the demo,
and you'll see here what'll appear is then
the slides that we're
seeing just like before
when I was on my desktop,
and I can also go through
and turn on live captions.
This will then give me the
ability to see in real time
what is being said,
and it is a very helpful and powerful tool
to create a more inclusive online meeting.
To finish, press the red hang up.
Getting back over into Teams,
when I'm finished with the lecture itself,
this is where I can then stop presenting.
And from there, click and stop recording.
What this will then do,
it'll mean that once the
recording has stopped,
no more of the conversation
will be recorded.
Of course it gives me a good reminder,
and at that point I can invite my students
to finish up and start leaving
the lecture itself.
And then you'll see here
when I'm ready to finish up,
I simply click hang up also.
Now, what will happen is once everyone has
left the online meeting itself,
you will then see progressively
the students leaving.
And furthermore, one of
the things that you can do
if you do need to,
you can always still double check
who is in the online meeting as it stands.
You do have the ability, if
any reason that you do need to,
that you can always go back,
and also remove a student if required.
So this is where I can
then go remove participant
or also make them attendee,
I should say make them a presenter,
if I do need them to present something
even though I've said
originally that students cannot.
Now that the online meeting is concluded,
you'll see that the meeting has stopped,
and it is now saving the
recording to Microsoft Stream.
For those that haven't used
Microsoft Stream before,
let me head over
and continue a bit of a
conversation around that.
Let's head to the slides
to finish off the talk about Stream
and what happens now that our
online meeting has finished.
Now where at the after
phase of our online meeting.
We've now had our online
class with our students
and now it's about making
sure that they can access
the meeting recording, viewing
responses to conversations,
and continuing to chat and collaborate
on documents and learning materials
in the context of our class team itself.
When you record a meeting
in Microsoft Teams,
it automatically uploads
to a service called Microsoft Stream,
part of Office 365.
This is a very powerful service,
because it's a video platform service
unique to your organization.
You own all the content
that gets stored there,
and it means it's automatically
made available to your students
when recorded in the
context of our class team.
And using artificial intelligence,
it also can do things like
generate closed captions,
and that closed captions
can also become searchable,
really helping students
as part of revision.
If you've never used Stream before,
it's free for eduction,
allows you to store up to
500,000 videos in total
per organization,
and the ability to then
have each of those videos
be up to 50 gigabytes.
So, for your tenant, you can
have half a million videos
and up to 50 gigabytes per video.
For more information, search
Microsoft Stream limits,
and that will then take
you to more details
about Stream itself.
Let's head on over to Teams
to have a bit of a look
at what that Stream recording looks like.
If we head back to the channel,
we can see now the concluded
online meeting that we had,
the replies from the different students
in context of the original
question that I asked,
as well as now the recorded meeting
is available on demand.
Now, that can take up to
three times the duration
of the original recording
for it to appear here,
while it takes a little bit of
time for it to be processed.
To click on the recording itself,
I can then view what
was recorded throughout,
and you'll see I have the ability
to click on closed captions,
and it will then pop up
with closed captions.
I can also search those captions
for the phrase when I was
referring to giving the
students positive feedback,
and then it can allow me to jump
straight to that point in time
where that phase was said.
Now this is incredibly powerful
as we think about helping our students
with on-demand learning,
the ability where they can then jump to
a point in your online meeting
where you might have been
discussing a key topic.
Let's say it's economics
where they can jump to the
key concept of microeconomics,
rather than having to
click through randomly
a 30-minute or two-hour online meeting,
they can jump straight to that moment
where you were discussing the topic
and really focus on the revision,
rather than trying to remember
exactly where in the time
it was actually said.
Very powerful and very, very helpful.
If I need to,
I can always click on
that three dot ellipsis
and open in Microsoft Stream.
Microsoft Stream is then of
course an online service,
as I mentioned, that's part of Office 365.
So you'll see here in
the top left-hand side,
when I click on the app launcher,
I can also then access all
the other parts of Office 365,
and I can see the transcript as well.
So if I need to make any changes,
I can simply edit it,
particularly if you
maybe had a unique name
that came up in the recording,
but this is where that
artificial intelligence
gets better and better over time.
It's a very powerful tool to help students
particularly when it comes to revision
and making a more inclusive
learning environment
by having closed captions.
The last thing I would
recommend is the ability now
to click on that three dot
ellipsis one more time,
and where it says Make this a tab.
A tab is an app which will be pinned
in the top row across here.
In each channel you can add tabs,
and those tabs are
basically different apps
that allow you to then have
all sorts of different
experiences for your students.
In this example, we want that
Stream video to be pinned.
So, over time, even if lots
of other conversations occur,
students can always easily
find this recording.
By clicking on Make this a tab,
it'll automatically then
pin that video to the top,
meaning my students and
anyone else in this class
can review this content as
much as they need on demand.
I can also rename the tab
if we want to go and click Rename,
and we can call this one Week 1 Recording.
And now my students will
always be able to see
this pinned permanently
across the top of the channel itself.
So from the Post section,
this is where you will then see
the ability to see the recording,
as well as also other
things like Files and so on.
Very, very helpful and very
useful for our students.
You saw before we have now an opportunity
where we can continue conversations,
but what about collaborating?
Because putting files in
the class materials folder
mean students cannot edit them.
But what if we do wanna have
an experience where we're
all collaborating together
after our online meeting has finished?
Well, from the file section here,
I don't currently have any files.
I could create a new one
or upload an existing,
so that's exactly what
I'm gonna do from my
OneDrive files themselves,
because I have a group task I
want my students to complete
online together virtually.
I'm gonna copy this
over to the team itself.
Give that just a few seconds.
And what that will do is then appear
in the File section of the team.
And there it is.
What's particularly powerful about this
is it means my students can then
also work together with me in real time.
And notice I don't have
to send out a share link,
because we're part of the class team,
all of the students have access
to be able to then work together
collaboratively on documents
while also making it streamlined,
so we don't need to think
about behind the scenes
because the class team is
automatically managing permissions
because my students are
already in the class.
What's great is I can see in real time
as my students are working,
so we can see here Marsha and Terrie
are currently working
together on this slide.
And so, because they're part of group A,
they're coming up with some ideas.
And that's fantastic to see
that they're putting together
a few different ideas
for startup.
I can also start a conversation
in the context of this document,
which is very, very powerful,
and I can give them
some positive feedback,
and say great work to Marsha and Terrie.
Remember to do that.
You always wanna use the at mention.
And again, my students can
then also respond in context.
And you can see you can also then do
reactions for students messages,
as well as also if you
ever do make a typo,
just by clicking on
the three dot ellipsis,
we can see here a whole host of options
to be able to then view the conversation.
I can also edit my messages,
as well as also translate and
then use the Immersive Reader.
Now the Immersive Reader
is incredibly powerful
because what it allows me to do
is then also view this in
my own way that helps me,
depending on my visual requirements.
The Immersive Reader then has a guide
which allows me to be guided through
if you ever need to change the text sizing
or even have it read allowed to you.
And where this is very
powerful, as you'll see,
then if you want to have
the text read back to you,
or if you need to have the text
with different colored background,
depending on your learning requirements,
Teams is then able to then adapt
any of those text conversation messages
to be able to then allow students
to be able to view it in their own
required visual preference,
and we can even then do
things like translation,
which is particularly powerful.
So, say you're going from
English to let's say German,
and we can even translate
the entire document itself.
Very, very powerful in terms
of creating a more inclusive
learning experience for our students.
Heading back to Posts,
you can now see all of those conversations
occur within the context
of the channel itself.
So the message that I sent to
the students, their responses,
again, all of the
conversations are in context
of, for example, the previous
online meeting that we had,
and this gives us a
rich collaborative space
that we can work together
in context on documents themselves.
I focused a lot today on how
you can use Microsoft Teams
for online meetings with your students.
Where I'd like to give a quick insight
is to what Teams can look like
when you really take advantage
of all of the capabilities
to make an online hub for your class
where you can communicate
and collaborate together
across experiences.
What I mean by that is let me take you
and switch across to this class team here
where I can share a quick example
of the OneNote class notebook.
OneNote is a fantastic
tool where you can provide
spaces for students to be able to ideate,
write their own notes in private,
to be able to share worksheets with them
and save time and paper
while you can then distribute worksheets
and have them work
collaboratively together.
And Assignment surface,
which is then incredibly powerful
with the ability for me to be able to then
both create assignments,
as well as also quizzes
that my students can then complete
and also saves me time
if I choose to have them
be automatically graded.
You can see here in this
assignment that I've created
I can see all of my students,
I can turn in their work
and have it returned to them,
giving them grades, giving them feedback.
I can edit the assignment
and see here the
instructions that was given,
adding in rich documents,
and also providing meaningful
feedback using rubric grading.
We also then have plagiarism integrations
with Urkund and Turnitin.
And when you head across
to the grade book,
I can see a holistic view of my students
looking across then all of the assignments
within my class itself.
I also have the ability for rich analytics
and in-depth insights that I can action
where I can see here is part
of that conversation activity.
I can see all of the students
and how they've been engaging
across the conversations
in the different channels
of my class team.
When we start to see along the top
where I have things like Home Base,
this is taking advantage
of all of those extra tabs,
the apps that you can integrate.
This is an example now of a
rich site that's been created
where I can have more learning content.
I can have rich
experiences where I can see
slide shows embedded, videos embedded,
all in the context still of this one team,
even a countdown to the science fair
as part of this site itself.
This is really where Teams comes to life
is when you start to take advantage
of the online meetings
in combination with all
of the different apps
and integrations that Teams provides
to become a powerful platform for leaning.
Heading back over to Teams.
The class team you saw was
then using the class notebook,
the assignment service,
but also the integrations
that are available
from the app store within Teams.
If I head over to my Week 3
to give you a quick example,
by clicking on the add tab,
that allows me to add
other app integrations.
You'll see there are
apps her from Microsoft,
so OneNote, Microsoft Forms,
which is great for doing quizzes,
and polls, and feedback surveys,
Excel and others.
A third party app example is Polly.
So not made by Microsoft,
but what this provides is
a great poll experience
to get really quick bits of
informal feedback from your students,
and there's hundreds more integrations.
I'm gonna use Polly as a quick example
of how we can get informal
feedback from students.
And again, always remember,
just like your smart phone,
some apps are free, some apps are paid.
Make sure you consult the privacy policy
before adding a third
party app to your team.
I'm gonna click Save and
have the Polly integration
be added to my team.
One thing that Polly does,
which is very powerful,
I can create then polls for students.
Those polls can then be
anonymous, multiple choice,
as well as also be schedule in advance.
One of my areas that I really
like about what Polly can do
is it has the ability to have a chatbot.
So if I got @Polly,
the chatbot means I can save time
by typing out a question very quickly
with a question mark
and comma after each
multiple choice option.
And when I click Send,
this now will create
a poll for my students
to be able to give me some
feedback in real time.
And I can also see a summary
of the poll responses
from the Polly tab.
That's just one of the example of the apps
from the app store.
From the app store,
can search by category.
So, for example, within education,
we have then apps
available from all sorts of
different capabilities
and different providers
to integrate things like
content like Wakelet.
You can do plagiarism
checking with Urkund,
Flipgrid for capturing more student voice,
and many, many more options.
The last place I'm gonna
focus on today though
is from the Help button,
because this is where you can get a
quick short overview of all of the topics
that we've covered as
part of the Training tab.
The Training tab then has
built-in how-to guides
right in Teams where you can then see
short one to two-minute videos
on all of the capabilities
that we've covered today
and many more that we didn't
get a chance to cover.
To wrap up from today though,
that's where I'm gonna
head back to the slide.
A few next step resources
to help you get started.
To begin, we have then
detailed documentation
for remote learning.
If you go to the direct
link aka.ms/TeamsEduRemote.
For those looking for
some more guided webinars,
check out the Microsoft Education webinars
at TeamsEduWebinars where
we cover other topics,
as well as also advanced scenarios.
And lastly, the Teams Scenario Library
is a collection of
scenarios based and created
by educators and staff members,
sharing their examples
of professional practice.
You'll be able to see teachers
using Teams in the classrooms,
researchers doing international
research collaborations,
staff members managing school districts,
and projects and initiatives,
lecturers using Teams with
their undergraduate students,
even helping to use Teams then
as part of a PhD thesis.
The Teams Scenario Library
has a rich set of short,
less than five minute scenario examples
created by educators.
And to get there, just visit the link
flipgrid.com/TeamsK12 for schools
and TeamsEDU for further
and higher education.
That concludes the session for today,
thank you very much for your time,
and I hope you found this useful
to be able to then get started
with your online Microsoft Teams meetings.
