Collaborative Classrooms With Microsoft Teams for Education
What is Microsoft Teams for Education?
Teams for Education is a digital hub that brings conversations, meetings, files, and apps together in one place. Because Teams is built on Office 365, schools benefit from integration with their familiar Office apps. It delivers enterprise-grade security and compliance that can be customized to fit the needs of every school.
With Teams for Education, your school can:
- Create collaborative classrooms
- Connect in professional learning communities
- Communicate with school staff and Administration
- Coordinate research across institutions
- Easily facilitate student life efforts like clubs or extracurricular activities
Teams ensures that every student has equal opportunity to learn online with an experience similar to that of a physical classroom.
