Microsoft Teams for Education

Microsoft Teams provides a safe online learning hub for students and teachers – bringing conversations, content, assignments and applications together in one place.

Microsoft Teams is a powerful tool to help students find their voice and develop critical social emotional skills, while giving teachers new capabilities for peer-to-peer professional development.

• Enable a secure online classroom.
• Keep remote students engaged.
• Deliver on-demand webinars.
• Facilitate distance learning.

Free as part of the Office 365 Education licensing, Microsoft Teams enables teachers to create vibrant learning environments. Teachers and students can easily work together, regardless of their location or device.
