Through Teams and Class Notebook, I can push materials right out to them, or I can drop class notes right into their notebook,” said Amy Welsh, chair of the mathematics department at Davidson Academy in Tennessee. “Teams is a way for students to interact, gather information, and share it right when they need it. The Class Notebook in Microsoft Teams course explores how to leverage Class Notebook within Teams to plan rich, well-thought out curriculum, assign engaging projects, and support student collaboration and communication.
Every class team in Microsoft Teams comes with a built-in Class Notebook for educators and students. You can either build a new notebook from scratch after creating your new team or copy content from other notebooks when you're ready to get set up. This is a great solution if you're planning on re-using lessons, or if you've already been teaching with Class Notebooks and are beginning to use Teams for the first time.
