Better together: Add EDU partners to team sites
Learners need diverse learning opportunities to construct their own knowledge. Educators often provide learners with a variety of learning sources to create these opportunities. Sometimes the difficulty of keeping learners on task or ensuring they all reach the same source may be overwhelming. Adding an external website as a tab in Class Teams makes providing external sources much simpler. The tabbed website fully embeds in the team, allowing learners to interact with it directly in their Class Team or open it in a web browser. Either way, the educator may be sure that learners are accessing the specific website and content that they've selected.
Educators who use an online textbook may add the textbook as a website tab in their Team. When learners are working on a research project, an educator may provide guidance on the sites they use by creating a Wakelet and adding it as a website. If an interactive physics simulation or a Khan Academy tutorial would be beneficial, add it as a website tab so learners may find it easily and frequently.
Many Microsoft education partner apps have another way to add their content to Class Teams. Within Flip, Wakelet, Thinglink, Nearpod, and other current Teams EDU partners, the Share to Teams button allows educators to quickly start a conversation or create an assignment. Select the Share button in the app or program and then select Share to Teams. Choose whether to start a conversation or create an assignment. Enter the team or channel to post it to and add a message. When it’s ready to share, select the Share button. The new post or assignment will then appear in the selected team or channel.
