Microsoft Class Teamsenables teachers to collaborate with students while seamlessly integrating assignments, assessments, and applications directly into the Team
As we look for more robust ways to collaborate with our students and facilitate their own collaboration, the tools we use form the foundation for innovative and deep learning experiences.
Microsoft Class Teams enables teachers to collaborate with students while seamlessly integrating assignments, assessments, and applications directly into the Team. This integration reduces the administrative load on teachers and increases the
efficiency and concentration of students.
Whatever your class - math, science, language arts, social studies, art, computer science, etc. - you can create a
Class Team and build a dynamic digital learning space for your students. You will immediately have a space where you can share resources, encourage collaboration, communicate with students, and manage assigning and grading a wide variety of
assignments.
Each module in this course will outline a specific aspect of Class Teams with accompanying pedagogical importance. With Class Teams, teachers can help students build effective digital citizenship, self-regulation, and personalized learning
opportunities. With the increased functionality of assignment grading and feedback cycles, as well as integration with apps such as Turnitin.com and Moodle, teachers will find themselves improving their skills as both facilitators and analysts.
Increasing Efficiency with Microsoft Class Teams
Microsoft Class Teams enables teachers to collaborate with students while seamlessly integrating assignments, assessments, and applications directly into the Team.
Building a Content Center with Class Notebook
The question of where to keep curriculum, assessments, planning documents, communication resources, and student artifacts can be challenging. Class Teams has two main solutions for teachers: a Class Notebook and a Class Materials section.
The Class Notebook is the shared hub for class content and can be integrated with assignments, grades, and multiple apps for education. The Class Notebook contains different sections, each serving a specific purpose.
Enhancing Family Communication
For classrooms where teachers want to offer a higher level of family integration, or for individualized parent/guardian communication purposes, Class Teams offers a
parent/guardian link to the Team. This enables the guardian of a child to view the content of the Team and keep up with their student's work, class announcements, and general discussion. These links are not participant links,
Reducing the Paper Trail by Creating Assignments in Teams
With Assignments in Teams, you can save paper and work more efficiently. Some of the more repetitive grading tasks can be streamlined, making grading simpler and more organized. It is intuitive,
natural, and incredibly powerful.
Documents that you traditionally hand-out for students to complete can now be uploaded in the
Assignments tab and given to students digitally.
Checking for understanding with embedded Forms quizzes
Assessing student knowledge is something teachers want to do regularly, but these quick knowledge checks can sometimes lead to overwhelming stacks of paper. Using
embedded Forms in a Class Team can reduce the paper stack and ensure feedback is both timely and integrated into learning.
Supporting efficiency with the Grades tab
The Grades tab in Class Teams is designed to support teacher efficiency. Using Grade Sync, teachers can sync assignments and grades to Student Information Systems (SIS) that use OneRoster. Based on teacher feedback, the Teams engineers
designed this interface for both student and teacher ease-of-use.
The Grades tab offers individual student progress views as well as a whole class view. In the whole class view, teachers can select a specific student to view the student's work or send an email directly to the parent/guardian on record.
Maximizing Flexibility with Assignments view
The simple, intuitive interface allows teachers to access their assignments in whatever format they want to see them. With Class Teams, teachers can decide whether to view individual assignments, view assignments by category, or by "view
all" assignments in their class. This versatile way of viewing assignments allows teachers to grade in the way that best fits their needs and is another example of how Class Teams can save teachers time and effort.
