17. Microsoft Store for Education
A simple way to have schools discover and acquire your apps
Open for business to web apps
Browse hundreds of apps and
reference materiel across a dozen
categories
Manage a private catalog of apps for
your school or region

18. App Discoverability

19. Guidance for building Store apps
Build a progressive web app
Emerging industry standard for web sites running as apps.
Integrate with other EDU APIs from Microsoft, e.g. SSO/Rostering.
This is the experience we will optimize for.
Progressively enhance the experience for richer devices, e.g. touch.
But of course, work across all devices.

21. Student and teachers needs:
Central hub to manage class
workflows between teachers
and students
Consistent communication and
collaboration regardless of the
current learning experience
Students can work at own pace
with smart helpers to lighten
the load of personalized
learning

24. Integration Points within Microsoft Teams
Tabs
Expose embed-
ready web UX on
web/ desktop,
deep link to
native apps on
mobile.
Teams can
instantly access
your app in the
right context,
and collaborate
around its
content.
Bots
Build using the
Microsoft Bot
Framework, other
tech like LUIS.
Reply with rich
interactive cards.
Always-available
input menus to
guide the user.
Great for
information
retrieval and task
completion in
chats.
Connectors
Use simple
webhooks to
post rich card
notifications
into channels.
Great for notifying
team about
required actions,
completed
transactions,
breaking news,
other real-time
updates.
Assignments
REST APIs for
integrating with
assignments and
grading within
and outside
Teams

26. Guidance for Teams
Surface the ‘right-sized’ amount of your app in a tab.
It’s mostly just an IFrame. Decide how much students should work inside Teams.
Build a connector if you have back-end processing.
Draw users in conversations back in to your app in a timely way. Don’t be spammy.
Build a bot to support users in learning activities/complex interactions.
Don’t do it for a gimmick, do it to support growth and self-confidence.

28. Why OneNote Class Notebook
Semi-structured workspace
organized by
Teacher content
Individual student work
Student group work
Multi-modal input/content
Collaborate and navigate
trivially, even for younger
students
Manage assignments
With grade writeback
to SIS/MIS/LMS

29. “Student Engagement and
Accountability has improved”
“It’s shifting the way I’m teaching”
“Consistently hitting statewide best
practices is significantly supported
by using Class Notebooks”
“She realized that she has kept an
artificial lid on what students could
do and OneNote Class Notebooks
and 1:1 have taken that lid off”
"A window into their brains”
“Receiving synchronous feedback
dramatically shortens the learning
cycle“
“The most significant and organic change
process ever in the school.“ – Kirk Wheeler, Head of School

30. Guidance for Class Notebooks
If you’re a content manipulator, integrate via LTI
Standards-based content flow. http://onenote.com/lti
If you have an assignment or grading workflow, integrate with add-in API
Normalized API shape to implement to plug in to OneNote UI.
http://onenote.com/edupartners
REST API to automate notebook provisioning or content creation
Moving soon to Microsoft Graph
