Microsoft Teams is the most powerful tool we have in the Sun West School Division to collaborate, share files, keep track of assignments, from any device, anywhere online.

In this session we will take a quick look at some of the features in Teams as well as go through the setup of a Class Team.

Microsoft has put together a 5-day guide for school leaders which outlines quick steps that can help shape thinking around the move to remote learning. In addition, Microsoft developed a Microsoft Teams quick start guide, a set of webinars for educators and staff and a specific resource for parents.

This PDF document can give you a quick overview of Microsoft's Immersive Reader in a simple, printable format.

Some of the hands-on activities include:
-circuits and party lights
-how fast do humans run
-brain injury
-how sharks swim
-harnessing electricity
-building model hand

OR explore the whole library to find something to suit your needs! This includes smaller lessons as well as larger. (E.g., oceans, lemon battery, light, solar, motors, sensors, windmill, seismograph, telegraph)

Each activity is broken down into steps and includes the time needed and an estimated cost per student in USD.
