Welcome to EduDay 2022

Beginner Stream: Getting Started

Setting up your Class Team for Success

Microsoft Teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, and apps together in one place. Educators can create collaborative classrooms from a single experience in Office 365 Education. Class teams have unique permissions and features for teachers and students. As owners of the team, teachers assign work, share class content, start meetings, and control who can post in the team. Each class team is also linked to its own OneNote Class Notebook.
