Microsoft Teams is a powerful tool for educators to stay connected to learners, families, and colleagues. Teams lets educators create, attend, and run meetings with many features that enhance engagement and collaboration.
Instant polling
Instant polling helps educators to get real-time feedback during a meeting. Educators can quickly choose from three binary option pairs—Yes or No, Thumbs Up Thumbs Down, Heart or Broken Heart—and send a poll question. Attendees can vote and see the animated results on their screen.
Microsoft Whiteboard
Microsoft Whiteboard is a visual collaboration canvas that allows educators and learners to create and share rich content. Educators can design interactive whiteboards in advance and open them in a Teams meeting. They can also embed videos from various sources to provide multiple means of engagement for different learners.
Together mode
Together mode in Teams meetings uses AI to place all the participants on a shared background, creating a sense of being in the same room. Together mode can help reduce fatigue, improve attention, and foster social connection in online classes.
