Many of my learners only know MS Teams as a video conferencing tool. And although it makes a great tool for this, especially with the latest features of breakout rooms, the app can help teachers much more as it allows you to manage your classes and your learning content without leaving the platform. In this live demo, we will create a team, channels for group work and peer-to-peer review, tie in apps, set tasks and deadlines, create a wiki, organise a webinar, use the together mode, link videos and websites that you want your class to deal with. I will also talk about the new upcoming features such as dynamic view, channels for external people, presenter view (to allow you better recordings of sessions) and meeting controls. Make sure to make the most of Teams and bring your questions!
