- [Egbert] Hi, educators. I hope you're doing well.
My name is Egbert Cheng,
Partner Marketing Manager at Microsoft Education.
Thank you for taking time and checking out this session,
"Amazing Learning Apps in Microsoft Teams."
In this session, you will hear six of our partners,
Go1, Kahoot!, Ment.io, Prezi Video, Quizlet, and Wakelet,
demo how their solutions, integrated with Microsoft Teams,
can help you achieve better learning outcome
for your students,
and also enhance their personalized learning,
especially during this challenging time.
So, what are we waiting for?
Let our partners show how their solutions can help you.
- [Instructor] This is an overview of the free Go1 Teams app
for educators to be able to deliver learning content
to students from within Microsoft Teams.
Here, I'm in Mrs. Smith's math class
in the Learning Materials channel,
and I'm able to lay out sections on this learning tab
that correspond with the units of my class,
but really, it's flexible to organize learning content
however I want.
I can add the title for a section here,
and I can also describe this section of learning content.
Once I've done that,
I'm able to add individual resources of learning content,
like web links, files, and interactive files
like a SCORM file, for example.
Once that's been laid out, as a student,
I'm able to access learning content easily,
whether that's a web link, a file,
a more complex learning resource like a SCORM file,
or educational publisher content.
I'm also able to easily have a discussion
about a particular learning resource,
and that discussion is a standard Teams conversation thread,
so that if I go back to the primary conversation tab,
I'll see the comment I just made,
and the whole class sees that this learning resource
is being discussed.
If someone's interested in it,
they can easily click on it from the main conversation tab,
in this example, for a YouTube video,
and access that learning content seamlessly
without needing to login to any other systems.
- [Melissa] Hi, I'm Melissa.
I'm a PM here at Kahoot!, and in partnership with Microsoft,
we built an integration that'll enable you
to play with your class, directly on their platform.
Here's Patrick, one of our teacher ambassadors,
with how he uses our product with Microsoft Teams
and with his class, today.
- I'm gonna show you
how to use Microsoft Teams and Kahoot! together
to supercharge online learning
Setting up Kahoot! into your Microsoft Teams
couldn't be easier.
Simply add it as a new tab, search for Kahoot!,
and sign on with the same Microsoft credentials
that you've signed up for Teams.
No need to create a new account.
When you're fully installed,
all your games that you've created in Kahoot!
will be ready for you to be able
to play live with your students on a Meet Now,
or to assign them to the students asynchronously
so that they can learn at their own pace.
Assigning a challenge game into you team
allows your students to be able to learn and play
at a time that suits them,
and your students see a reminder
as to how long they've got left to play the game.
Kahoot! in Teams is a teacher's dream.
It's so easy for the students to get on and to play live.
Simply start the game,
and the students will pin in the code
to be able to join you to play.
Here's a game I played with my students
when on remote learning,
and I used some of the questions just to check in on them,
to see how they were doing
and see how they were feeling about what they're learning.
It's a good way to get a big picture
of how everybody's progressing.
The leaderboard adds a lot of fun
and adds that dimension of challenge,
and you can mix up the questions.
Short, low-stake questions
are a great way of building up the confidence
of students online,
but it's also really nice to use the slides feature
to introduce new knowledge,
short, bite-sized chunks of new information,
and allow the students then to be able
to apply that immediately into a learning context,
and check for understanding.
Kahoot! really does push
that active participation in leaning,
and, of course, everybody loves it
when it's their turn to feature on the podium.
That's a great way of encouraging
active participation and challenge.
I hope you get the same amount of fun out of using Kahoot!
in your Microsoft Teams with you students
as I have with mine.
- [Anat] Anat Itay-Satig, PhD,
Adjunct Professor at IDC Herzliya,
and I use Ment.io as a way to engage my students
in collaborative, thoughtful discussions.
I started using Ment.io as a way to engage my students,
to have them interact with each other,
and, most importantly, to enable for them to express
their voices, their opinions, their thoughts,
on the topics that we study.
Ment.io is, for me, is a smart discussion board
in the sense that it uses analytics to empower the students
and enable them to improve,
as well as suggesting assessment components for me to use
in a more objective manner that I could have done
prior to using Ment.io.
So, I use Ment.io, also because my students love it.
They seem to think it's very similar to social media,
so they feel very comfortable with it,
and it affectively builds their skills,
their way of making a good argument.
Ment.io is fully integrated with Microsoft Teams,
and students can view the discussion,
answer the discussion through Microsoft Teams.
They can also open the little I-frame
to see the entire discussion,
as well as answers given, contributions,
replies to the discussion,
as well as additional elements
such as Team Analytics and My Analytics.
They can also turn to the web version of Ment.io
from within Microsoft Teams,
where they can view the different discussions,
and from within the discussion, of course,
they can see, in this case, the recap,
but also Team Analytics, My Analytics,
and I can view the assessment for my students.
So, super helpful
in how it engages my students in discussions,
and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Thank you!
- [Katerina] Hi! My name is Katerina Moore,
and I am an English Language Arts Teacher
at the Roeper School in Michigan.
What I love about Prezi Video
is how engaging the graphics are,
and how easy it is to create new and exciting content
for my students.
I've been using Prezi for years,
and with Prezi Video,
I am able to easily create new content for my students
in Microsoft Teams.
All I have to do is choose a template,
put in my course content, and hit record!
And I'm able to then record for my students
any reminders that they may need for the class,
or maybe a mini lecture,
and once I'm done recording, I'm able to save the video
and post it right to my students.
Again, without having to ever leave the Microsoft Teams app.
I can also do a lot more with the Prezi Video desktop app.
For example, I can import a PowerPoint
that I've already created in the past,
and it will reformat it into a Prezi Video form!
So, then I have slides that I've already created in the past
right there, next to me,
and I don't have to do anything new.
If I want to, I can add new content,
I can go live in a video conference,
or I can record a video for a later date.
My students love Prezi Videos
because it gives them something different
to look at every day.
Right now, it can feel monotonous being online all the time,
but being able to create something quick and easy
and fun to look at is so important to me and my students.
If you want more education on this,
go to www.Prezi.com/education for more information
on how to integrate Prezi Video into Microsoft Teams
and your educational environment.
- [Rory] Hi.
My name is Rory Yakubov, and I'm a high school math teacher
in Old Bridge, New Jersey, at Old Bridge High School.
I've been using Quizlet for the part four years,
and I've also been using Microsoft Teams
for the past four years,
and having Quizlet directly integrated into Teams
has made my teaching experience,
especially with remote learning
and hybrid learning coming up,
much, much, easier.
So, I just wanna show you that, in all of my Teams here,
if I click on my Algebra Honors - Period 9/10,
you can see, directly at the top,
I have all of my integrated apps directly in here,
and when my students log into Teams,
they see everything that you see here on my screen.
It also then can just easily click on the Quizlet tab
that I've set up at the top.
I put it in as not an app,
but actually the website link directly to my page.
So students, with one click in Teams,
are able to access my entire Quizlet account.
They can access any of the 140 Quizlet study sets
that I've actually created here,
they can scroll through really easily,
and again, directly within Teams.
That's what's so easy about it.
They don't have to open up any extra, separate browser.
They can also directly log in with their Quizlet account.
On the first day of school,
I had all of my students set up Quizlet accounts,
join my classes, which, you can see,
I have my Algebra Honors period 9/10 class set up,
and then students are easily able
to access all of my study sets
by either just typing into filter,
so let's say today we did lesson 5.3..
They can simply type into 5.3,
they can easily access the study set
for the lesson we just did,
or even access the quiz review that I have for that lesson,
and other lessons included.
Using Quizlet in my class has been incredibly easy,
especially through Teams,
whether students are doing independent practice,
I'm having them study at home,
or for Quizlet Live sessions.
If you have any other questions about how to use Quizlet
or how you can easily integrate Quizlet into Teams,
definitely go ahead and give Quizlet a follow
on their social media channels,
or just go to Quizlet.com,
and there's so many tutorial videos
that are also linked to their YouTube channel.
Thank you so much for watching. Bye.
- [Jenny] Hi! I'm Jenny Long,
- [Sallee] And I'm Sallee Clark,
- [Jenny And Sallee] And we are Jenallee!
- We are so excited, today, to share with you
our three top tips in using Wakelet with Teams.
So, our first tip for you in using Wakelet in Teams
is the top tab integration.
So, the first thing you're going to wanna do
is go ahead and open the Wakelet
that you want to share to your team in the top tab.
Go up to the very top and copy the long link
in the address bar.
Now go back to Teams,
and we're gonna click on the plus button.
Go ahead and click on Wakelet,
and if you don't see Wakelet,
you can always search for it here.
- [Sallee] Paste the link and click save.
- [Jenny] Voila! There it is. - [Sallee] Love it.
- Our second tip for you
is to actually add Wakelet to a post.
This allows you to take any collection that you have
and add it into a post
so that your students can have conversation
around that Wakelet.
- You can also add a collaboration link,
as well, to your post,
and this allows students to go into the Wakelet
and leave comments and collaborate
right there, within the Wakelet.
All right, let's show you how.
So, here we are, on the Wakelet we want to share.
You can copy the share link,
or you can even copy the link in the browser.
Click copy. Now head back to Teams.
The first thing you're going to want to do
is click on apps in the me space on the left hand side.
Then, search for the Wakelet app.
You're going to want to click the app,
and install or activate it.
Here we are, in our team,
and we are going to start a new conversation.
So I'm gonna go ahead and put some text in here,
and this is going to be related
to the Wakelet that I'm going to share to this post.
Then I click on the W down at the bottom,
and then I can search all of my collection.
- [Jenny] Search for your topic,
choose your collection,
and it will automatically add to your post.
- And if you're a Wakelet Spaces fan,
our third tip is for you.
You can add any of your Spaces as a top tab
within your team.
- [Jenny] Go ahead and head to your Space
and click on the profile of your Space,
grab that top link, and then go back to your team,
and we're going to simply add it as a top tab.
- [Sallee] Here's an important note.
Make sure you add it as a website, not a Wakelet.
Just paste that link right here and click save.
- [Jenny] Voila! Look at that space.
We hope you enjoyed these tips from Jenallee!
- [Jenny And Sallee] Bye!
