- [All] This month on
What's New on EDU.
(upbeat music)
- [Director] And three, two.
- Welcome to another edition of What's New in EDU.
- It's back to school season
and to help you get ready for the new school year,
we just finished Back to School Live all right behind us.
- Yes, we filmed a full day's worth of tips and tricks
to help you.
- Let's give 'em a recap, shall we?
- Let's go.
- And we're live in five,
four,
three,
two,
one, go.
- We kicked off Period One of Back to School Live
with the thing we know is most important
for educators and administrators as they get ready
for school.
Professional Development.
- Welcome to First Period, which is all about professional
and staff development using Microsoft Teams
and the Microsoft Educator Community.
- With Teams, I was able to not only introduce the original
staff to some of the summer training we were doing
with professional development and onboarding,
but I was able to have them help me collaborate
and identify things that would be most beneficial
for those teachers who are starting for the first time
with technology.
So I'm gonna show you how easy it is to get started
with PLCs.
- I'm gonna challenge each and every one of you out there
to become a certified MIE in the next two weeks.
Everything on the site is free.
If you're focused on the needs of many educators,
we have the spot for you.
- We set up a digital classroom
with OneNote Class Notebook in Microsoft Teams.
- Welcome to Period Two, where we'll be showing you
how to set up your classes with Microsoft Teams
and OneNote Class Notebook.
- Withim that Class Notebook, I set up an agenda
with my students.
I can write this digital link in Class Notebook
and then I can also have it show up in Teams.
- We're gonna just start a new class.
We add those students to the class and you can see
they all become members.
- But a lot of things you can embed right here
on the page in OneNote and, again, this will work
across all the different apps.
- This next period dug deeper into the classroom
instruction and student engagement.
- We've been hacking STEM for the last year
and our mission is to modernize STEM education
to enable every student on the planet to achieve more.
Everything here is teacher tested.
- Typically you don't really think of Excel in terms
of live data, but that's really where that sweet spot
is in education.
As we've written these OneNote lesson plans,
we've really tried to incorporate the things that
teachers would love to have.
- We are really excited about bringing STEM
and inquiry-based learning into your classroom.
So, please, hack our project.
- We explored launching learning experiences
with Minecraft: Education Edition.
We saw how educators are using it in their classrooms
and how you can get started in just a few simple steps,
even if you haven't tried Minecraft before.
- I saw a unique opportunity to engage my students
into something that just wasn't of interest to them,
and that's technology.
- We have over 200 lesson plans created by teachers
for teachers on our site.
And I'm gonna actually show you how you can
very easily teach coding to your students using Minecraft.
- We explained how to set up an entire class
of Windows 10 devices with Intune for Education
in just under an hour.
- I'm gonna show you just how easy it is
for you to start using Intune for Education.
After you save your configurations,
these apps and settings will be deployed
to all of the student devices.
- We're excited for the things that make your life easier
for setting up devices this school year.
- This final session explored the future of EdTech
and the classroom of the future.
All about how to prepare the students of today
to create the world of tomorrow.
- And I'm gonna give you some tips that all of you
can start using in your classrooms this school year.
Democratic AI is something that we believe strongly in
at Microsoft to make these experiences available
across all the range of experiences in products we deliver.
- Our world is changing,
so what we wanna do is really bring the real world
and make classrooms and school
the real world.
- This is the year for all of you to challenge yourself
to try something new, to be fearless
and to embrace new things.
- We had a great time.
- You could relive it all in the Microsoft Educator
Community page.
- It includes videos and training for this entire event.
- So please don't be shy.
Share it with you fellow educators and administrators
so they can benefit as well.
- Thanks!
- Thank you!
- [All] See you next time!
- [Boy] Bye.
