Microsoft Teams for Education<\/a> has been a game-changer for educators who want to create a more collaborative and organized learning environment. With its ability to bring meetings, content, and apps together in one place, Teams has become a go-to digital hub for educators. Now with even more dynamic updates, Teams is offering new and exciting features that can help students and educators achieve even more in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explore the latest updates to Teams and how they can help educators create a more supportive, dynamic, and interactive learning experience for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the Classwork app to create and organize content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teams for Education is about to get even easier to use with the upcoming release of the new Classwork app! Classwork is specifically designed for educators to simplify the task of managing their curriculum. This app offers educators a one-stop shop to access all their teaching materials, and in the future, effortlessly reuse class content. With Classwork, educators can create and organize various class resources, such as assignments, files, links, channels, Class Notebook pages, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organization has never been so simple! Educators can create modules with descriptions to organize courses into distinct units by topic, lesson, or week. Modules are saved in a draft state and are not visible to students by default, allowing educators to build their content in the app at their own pace. Once they\u2019re ready, they can easily publish the content for students, dragging and dropping modules into a desired order. Additionally, educators can “pin” important modules to the top of the list, making it even easier for their students to find the most relevant content without having to scroll through past modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
