Microsoft Teams in Education
Teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, and apps together in one place. Educators can create collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, and communicate with school staff – all from a single experience in Office 365 for Education. Teams allows students to work collaboratively, connecting easily with other pupils, teachers and schools staff. It opens limitless doors when working with children with special educational needs. Take a look at how you can use teams in your classroom below.
Microsoft Teams saves time and simplifies everyday logistics
- School Data Sync - automatically populates classes with student rosters connected to the school’s information system
- OneNote Class Notebooks - are built into every class, allowing teachers to organise interactive lessons and deliver personalised learning right from Teams
- Apps - integrate into the classroom experience, so teachers can quickly access the Office 365 apps they already use – like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Planner – and customise their classroom with education apps
- End-to-end assignment management - in Teams enables teachers to move quickly and effortlessly from creation and distribution to grading and feedback
Engage the voice within every student
Teams makes teaching and learning more accessible to the entire class. Teachers can engage students in project-based learning with text, video, and voice using integrations like Microsoft Stream.
Teachers can use class themes, colours, emojis and GIFS to make learning fun and interactive. Educators can also feel confident in building a safer, more productive environment through Teams, with controls that allow them to delete posts, mute students or pause class conversations
“Everyone has a voice, and I believe everyone deserves to be heard”

Make teamwork even easier
Microsoft Teams extends learning beyond the classroom through collaboration. Teachers can use Teams to share best practices in professional learning communities (PLC) with features like built-in PLC Notebooks. Teams allows staff to collaborate on school-wide initiatives in specific Staff Notebooks making it easier to work together across the faculty. Allow any group of students and staff to work together, from student clubs to after school projects.
