[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10th grade Walls. Going fine. Teachers not adept at Microsoft teams yet.  Think Zoom worked better (and allowed small group meetings).[/quote]

To be fair it’s hard to know Teams well without practicing with actual groups of people in meetings.  And Teams just sucks for classes, and DCPs keeps changing the settings without alerting teachers.  You can do group meetings on Teams, it’s just a pain to set up.

All that is to say, Zoom is infinitely better for virtual classes.[/quote]

I’m a teacher and got a notice today that the IT changes the settings so kids are only attendees. Now people not familiar with Teams only have to set the meeting or press the “meet now” button. I’m glad I used teams in the spring. Teams does have an update now to allow for breakout room which should help. In regard to differentiation, we will make our small groups. I teach ES. We will start content in a week. [/quote]

The breakout room feature should help once it’s actually up and running.  Right now I have the feature but there are lots of bugs to be worked out.  I won’t be using it until it is officially unveiled in October.[/quote]
