TEAMS Tips

Microsoft TEAMS

Students will be engaged daily in remote learning through the use of Microsoft Teams. Teachers will implement standards-based instruction which includes synchronous and asynchronous instruction. A variety of engaging activities will include whole group instruction, small group opportunities, and assessment opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery. Please visit the district website (https://www.fultonschools.org/UniversalRemoteLearning) to learn more about the URL Learning Platform and how instructional technology will be utilized during remote learning.


 

TEAMS Tips

1) Always use the TEAMS App

  • Enter TEAMS using the TEAMS icon on the FCS laptop
  • Do not log in using ClasLink or you will be in the browser
  • If you are using a home device, download the TEAMS App

2) Browser vs. TEAMS App

 App has more functionality because you are making a direct connection.

  • Browser (i.e. ClassLink) uses "the cloud."
  • May not be able to use "chat" in the browser, participate fully, and have sound issues.
  • How do I know if I am in the browse? You cannot blur or change your backgrounds.

3) Back-up Option!

 Download these Microsoft Apps on your phone for free: TEAMS, OneNote, Outlook.

  • TEAMS App on the phone is a good backup if you have internet connectivity issues at home. You can use data to connect, please check your plan first.
  • OneNote App and TEAMS are used together. It may be helpful to open one on the phone and the other on your laptop.
