Resources: Learning More About Microsoft Teams for Education Users

Back at he beginning of May during the companies big education focused event in New York City, Microsoft made Office 365 for Education available to eligible education institutions at no cost.

Right alongside of that same announcement, Microsoft also confirmed that their new Microsoft Teams collaboration service would also be available to those organizations to use within their schools to enhance the team efforts they put into place.

That means educators, IT Admins, and leadership need to learn more about Microsoft Teams and Office 365 to make sure they take full advantage of these offerings.

In a recent blog post from the Microsoft UK Further Education Blog, Andrew Robertson shared three key resources for these different roles that can be used to bring everyone up to speed on the implementation and use of Microsoft Teams.

Here is what he shared:

For educators:

Learn all about Teams and how to get started using it today with your students and colleagues. Understand how Teams works, introduce it to your peers, learn to customise Teams for your unique classroom needs, and learn how to move your content into Teams to streamline communication in your classroom.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
