So far we have checked out how staff can use Microsoft Planner collaboratively and how students can use Planner individually, so today, Day 72 of 365 Ideas for Office 365, it makes sense to show how students can use Planner collaboratively. To see how to get students into Planner, see my previous article on students using Planner.  The steps are mostly the same whether students are working on a long-term research project individually or if they are working on a group project. Microsoft Planner for Individual Projects For simply a long-term project, the student should create a new plan in Microsoft Planner just for thatRead More →

Planner is a project management app that is part of Office 365.  That means it is integrated in other Office 365 like Outlook and Microsoft Teams. Welcome to Day 71 of 365 Ideas for Office 365- Using Planner with students.  Last time we explored ways that staff can utilize Planner for projects that require collaboration and assigning tasks.

Yesterday we introduced Stream, but only so we could continue the series on Microsoft Forms, because you can add Microsoft Forms inside a video on Microsoft Stream to make them interactive!  Welcome to Day 69 of 365 Ideas for Office 365- Forms in Stream.  Microsoft Office and Office 365 have a vast array of tools that work great as standalones, but they integrate really powerfully as well.  The Streams and Forms integration is a terrific example of #BetterTogether.

Many school districts have policies that make it a tricky prospect to try to include watching a video on YouTube as part of a lesson plan.  If you (or someone in your school or district) create your own videos you need somewhere to “host” them.  If your students create video projects they, too, need a place to share them, either with teachers, or peers, or both.  Microsoft Stream can be that place.  Welcome to Day 68 of 365 Ideas for Office 365. What is Stream? Stream is an example of a “walled garden”.  Only people inside your district can see the videos posted there.  YouRead More →
