-MICROSOFT TEAMS-

Getting Started with Microsoft Teams

Welcome to Microsoft Teams

This is the view you will spend most time within.

The teams view shows a tile for each of your classes

or teams.

From here you can manage your classes, hide teams

that you don’t use often, or join and create new

teams.

You can use the navigation menu on the left to jump

between the main features which we’ll cover on the

next page.

Join or create a new team. Use

team join codes here as well.

Hidden Teams

Show teams that you have hidden.

Search

Search your teams and chats, and

use @ commands to speed up tasks

Your Classes and Teams

Each tile is a class or team that you are a member

of. You can drag and drop to organise them or use

the hide option to stop them cluttering your view.

Your Classroom in Teams

Each of your class teams has a similar layout,

which you can customise, add files and

resources, and hold conversations with your

students.

Each class is private to those teachers and

students who are members.

Your Classroom

Jump back to view all

your class teams.

Team Channels

Each team can contain several

channels, each with their own

posts and files.

The General channel always

exists and is the only one

which contains assignments

and grades.

Everyone in the class can

access any normal channels.

Private Channel

The padlock means this is

a private channel which is

managed by the teacher.

Private channels are only

visible and accessible by

people that the teacher

permits.

Try… using private

channels to create staff

working areas, or student

breakout rooms.

containing a section for each student.

Microsoft Teams

Class Notebook

OneNote Class Notebook

Each class team has its own OneNote Class Notebook setup which

has several useful sections:

• Collaboration Library – both students and teachers can

collaborate and edit pages.

• Content Library – the teacher can add teaching

resources which students can view but cannot edit.

• Teacher Only – an optional section which only the

teacher can access.

• Student section – each student has their own private

section which only they and the teacher can access.

Teacher Note

A teacher needs to access and set up the Class

Notebook before students can access it.

View OneNote Sections

Open in Browser or OneNote App

The Teams OneNote view can be awkward to

use. Break out your Class Notebook into a web

browser or the full OneNote app.


Microsoft Teams

Each class team has a Files tab which the teacher can store their

teaching resources in. Unless you choose otherwise, students can

view but can’t edit files stored here.

which has additional features for you

to take advantage of. You can also sync

the files for every channel in your team

from here.
