“What we loved about Microsoft, and Teams specifically, was the fact that a teacher can go from working with peers to working with admin, with people at the county office, with students, and always be … in the same environment.”
Stephen Taylor, Director of Digital Teaching and Learning, Onslow County School District

“I think [fostering communication is] what Teams does. It's amazing because we think about how a conversation is carried today and how kids have conversations today.”
Rob Dickson, CIO, Wichita Public Schools

“[Teams] was non-negotiable. We did a training and expected tears, resistance, and stress. We got the opposite. Now we have teachers saying they will never abandon Microsoft Teams. They say, ‘I cannot imagine what I did before!’ and that has been essential for finding new ways of collaboration for the students.”
Jeni Long, Instructional Technologist, Eagle Mountain Saginaw Independent School District
