Description
There are multiple courses on how to use Microsoft Teams, but what about how to teach with Teams? Knowledge of learning theories, strategies, activities, engagement and safeguarding all need careful consideration when adapting Teams from its original use as a business platform and applying it in an educational environment.
Do you want to know how to set up your class and keep your Teams page private from students until you are ready to share? Do you want to know the pros and cons of different PowerPoint delivery methods? Do you want to know how to set up Class Notebook and get some suggestions on how to set up activities for students using the collaboration area and teacher only space? How about some ideas on how to differentiate using the files tab, or using some free tech tools to vary your delivery?

In this course, I’ll share all my experiences with you in relation to teaching with Teams, in the hope that you can then avoid some of the many pitfalls I fell into when I first started out using Teams. I take traditional teaching activities and show how they can be applied in an online environment, with the hope to inspire and reassure anyone using Teams to teach online. There really is so much more to Teams than meets the eye, so come and join me and take a look!

Thank you for taking the time to look through my course and find out a bit more about me. I have been studying education practices for the past 20 years, with online learning strategies being a key focus. I have a Masters in Online and Distance Education and in addition to my day to day role a teacher, I am also involved in research into ever-evolving online technologies. I follow all the latest developments in utilising technology and teaching and I share ideas and resources regularly through my website 'Technology Inspired Teaching'. The website takes traditional classroom-based teaching activities and proposes how they could be enhanced with the use of free online technologies, with the hope of inspiring as many educators as possible to make use of the amazing tech tools available to us.
