Editor's Notes
- First and foremost, teachers continue to use the great class materials and content they already have, and the familiar tools they know and love. All of the class materials created over the years can be brought into a seamless new classroom experience. We also have new tools like OneNote, Sway, and Docs.com that are built for improving teacher efficiency and student learning.
- Teachers and students ‘all work together’. With Office 365 Education, teachers inspire, engage, communicate and collaborate with students to help them achieve learning outcomes. All the applications and services just work together to make this possible.
- Microsoft in the Classroom (MiC) is a group of scenarios (and series of events) for educators showcasing how Microsoft and Partner technologies enable 21st century teaching and learning to improve student outcomes, like the 5Cs along the top. Explain the objectives of Microsoft in the Classroom Learn about free resources, PD and how to connect with others (through the Microsoft Educator Community) Experience how technology can energize your students Discover how Microsoft can streamline the learning process, giving back valuable to time to teachers CTA: Access free professional development on the new Microsoft Educator Community at aka.ms/mic
- So we put students and teachers at the heart of what we do. We’re here to help you solve problems in the classroom, not just use more technology, and we think we have solutions that can really help teachers and students in 5 key areas – Collaboration and Communication, Classroom Management, Student Empowerment, Saving Time, and Teacher Training. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: School Data Sync is also covered in this deck but is in it’s own section towards the back and should not be discussed proactively at BETT. Check with Tim Richardson if you have questions. Collaboration and Communication in the Classroom Office 365 Groups for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs): Office 365 Groups is a new capability in Office 365 that allows users to create private collaboration groups that include a shared inbox, calendar, cloud storage and notebook and is a great way to keep your team productive.

- Managing the Online Classroom
- It all comes down to more engaged students, with new and familiar tools for them to share ideas and assignments, and stay in touch with the teacher for help and feedback. This new experience lets you get more out of Office 365 Education, and teachers can use their existing content to get up and running. Here are the highlights: Your homepage for school that has classes set up from a Student Information System and allows you to manage assignment workflow, feedback, and grading. Each Class Group has assignments, announcements, calendar, Class Notebook, files, and discussion boards. Class groups are a place where teachers can manage their classes and collaborate with their students. Students can collaborate with their teacher(s), their classmates, and get all the materials to be successful in the class. Each Class group has a Class Notebook for the entire classroom. Teachers can “peek” into their students’ notebooks to provide real-time feedback on their student’s notes and works. Class Notebook includes assignment distribution to students, quick review of student work and grading. Assignments and grades are reflected in Office 365 or your Learning Management System (LMS). Offers you web versions of familiar Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote that work in all modern browsers. So, its available everywhere for free with nothing to install. Collaborate with anyone and see what your co-authors type as it’s happening. You can move smoothly from light work and collaboration in Office Online to heavy-duty creation in the Office desktop application—without ever leaving your document or losing your formatting. It also included new learning tools. Sway is built in for creating content-focused, multi-media project reports and communications like newsletters. Microsoft Forms creates surveys, quizzes, questionnaires, registrations and more. Integrates with your existing LMS and SIS. A little detail behind the claims and how it positions with a Learning management system or LMS (FOR REFERENCE ONLY _ DO NOT READ): The new classroom experience will not be a Learning Management System (LMS), just a new experience integrates directly with your existing LMS or can be used on its own to fit your needs. Functional classroom option that can be built on with Single Sign On to other apps for learning Auto-populated and updated class rosters and grades with your existing SIS, like Aspen. Assignments distributed in OneNote Class Notebooks also show up in Office 365 Education and top Learning Management Systems like Edmodo and Canvas. This continues to leverage OneNote’s benefit of “everything in one place,” so teachers don’t have to continuously jump between applications to get things done in their classroom with Office 365 Education or their LMS. Teachers can now get most instructional tasks done in OneNote.
- It all starts with the OneNote Class Notebook, an experience that you won’t find in any other offering than Office 365.
- Think of OneNote as the modern replacement for the spiral paper notebook, complete with color coded sections that you can customize, and corresponding pages under each section. Best thing is, you’ll never run out of paper! Each OneNote page is a flexible digital canvas for typing or digital ink – you can even embed images, video and audio files! Digital ink is gaining traction and we’ve seen twice the number of OneNote users leveraging it this school year in the US – especially relevant as more schools move from paper-based environments to using 1:1 devices in the classroom. And just in education, we have seen triple the number of monthly active OneNote users over the past year. Listening to teachers is our lifeblood. Teachers tell us how they use OneNote and help us imagine what’s possible for the classroom. In fact, out of this partnership came OneNote Class Notebooks. Class Notebooks make OneNote the perfect solution for collaborating real time in today’s 21st century, modern classroom. They create a customized classroom experience that provides a framework for teaching and learning. Each Class Notebook has a central collaboration space for everyone to work within, a content library to store class materials, and an individual student notebook for every student in the class. Teachers can look at their students’ notebooks to provide real-time feedback as well. Since June 2015, Class Notebooks have taken off, with 400 thousand teachers and 3.5 million students being added to notebooks! https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/microsoft_in_education/2016/03/07/immersive-and-inclusive-learning-experiences-inspired-by-teachers/
- Let’s put it all together… An approach to capture entire school with Class and Staff Notebooks OneNote as an “Organizational and Collaboration Platform”
- Let’s watch a recent case study from Omaha Public Schools where we talk about a new experience that enhances the Class Notebook, Learning Tools, and other instructional capabilities in OneNote with a new experience for teachers and students in Office 365, formerly known as “Class Dashboard”.
- Learning Tools is a new toolbar in OneNote that improves reading and writing experiences for all students, including for students with learning differences like dyslexia.
- You can even scan content with your phone using Office Lens and it will be OCRed and readable using Learning Tools for OneNote!
- A new digital storytelling app from Office that is great for project or problem-based learning. Teachers can create interactive web-based lessons, assignments, project recaps, newsletters, and more—right from a phone, tablet, or browser. Students can collaborate and use Sway to create engaging reports, assignments, projects, study materials, and portfolios. Sways are easy to share with the class or the world and look great on any screen Sway your ideas in minutes: It’s fun and easy for teachers and students to compose a digital creation they’ll love to share, building confidence and pride. No coding needed…just drag and drop content form different sources. Combine photos, videos, audio...: Sway transforms your photos, videos, audio, charts, tweets, and more into a polished format and design to share with students, teachers, and parents. Build great e-portfolios: Say goodbye to stacks of paper. Use Sway to build a digital collection of student work that documents learning progress. Share the success with parents: Parents and others can view Sways on any device when you send them a link – no additional software or sign-in needed. And you can change privacy settings for more control. SHOW SWAY AND SWIPE/MOUSE OVER TO RIGHT TO SHOW MULTIMEDIA INPUTS: https://sway.com/IoxJQBigNCnNnrgZ?ui=en-US
- Let’s take a look at the newest member the Office Online suite of web applications that is getting ready to be released for Office 365 Education.
- As you can see from that video, the new Office 365 Education experience helps your teachers to have more productive classrooms. It all comes down to more engaged students, with new and familiar tools for them to share ideas and assignments, and stay in touch with the teacher for help and feedback. Office Online is now complete with a new Office 365 app, Microsoft Forms, that allows anyone to easily and quickly create basic surveys, quizzes, questionnaires, registrations and more. Forms authors can invite others to complete forms via a link. Authors can view results as they are submitted via built-in analytics and data can be easily exported to Excel for additional analysis.
- Here is the process for creating and administering a quiz with Microsoft Forms preview…
- Today, classroom ‘context’ like the names of classes and which students and teachers are in them are stored in ‘Student Information Systems’. Examples in the US are systems called Powerschool and Infinite Campus. The challenge many schools and ISVs are facing is there is not an easy way to integrate applications with these information systems. We see the opportunity to connect existing school systems to Office 365 to automate and simplify set up and single sign on for teachers and students.
- School Data Sync, which will be included in Office 365 Education, will mirror user profiles and class rosters from a Student Information System into Office 365. It models classrooms within Office 365 as Groups and Group sites, so teachers can easily manage classes and class materials. Our objective is to: help teachers save time by automatically creating groups and enabling single sign on to apps in the classroom help schools and districts save money by working with existing technology investments to reduce the time IT admins spend managing groups, troubleshooting, and auditing security help ISVs by providing a single, free, platform and API to connect their applications to SIS data help SIS providers by providing a single, free, platform API to connect to LMS and other classroom apps Help increase school and student security and privacy by creating a single, secure source for identity and central control over which data gets shared and where. ------ We designed School Data Sync to help the entire education partner ecosystem. SIS Vendors SIS vendors will be able to support more apps with integration through a single API, allowing them to more efficiently provide access to classroom data. ISV’s Third party applications will be able to use an encrypted connection to access the student data to personalize learning experiences, all at no charge via cloud APIs, and let students enjoy the benefits of sign-on with Office 365. With School Data Sync, ISVs will be able to deliver SIS independent applications, speeding time to market while reducing support and infrastructure costs. Security & Privacy Because security and privacy are so important, School Data Sync will let the district determine which apps can access school and student data and which data gets shared so they can remain in compliance with their policies.
- Getting roster data from your SIS into Office 365 and other cloud classroom apps today presents a number of challenges. Multiple Logins takes away instruction time, can increase helpdesk calls, and create security vulnerabilities Multiple APIs means writing, testing, and supporting multiple connections to SISs, costing time and money Keeping student and teacher data secure and private becomes more challenging when so many apps and users need access to the information School Data Sync with Azure Active Directory and Office 365 helps solve these challenges by: Providing a single, no cost API to give your application access to data from SIS providers and platforms Improve the classroom experience of your applications by enabling single sign on and access to other information in the Office graph such as calendar, contacts, etc. Easier roster creation and integration by creating relationships between Office 365 groups, or Classes, and Azure Active Directory entities such as teachers, students, and schools Helps increase school and student security and privacy by creating a single, secure source for identity and central control over which data gets shared and where. Schools do not need to throw out their existing investments and move entirely to the cloud, either, For schools with on-prem AD or hybrid environments, they can use Azure Active Directory Premium (AADP)
- Typically each student must log on to each application or service to get access to the application, storage, or status. A teacher could be helping manage quite literally hundreds of logins a day! ISVs who sell LMS and other classroom software must find a way to connect to each SIS they want to support. This means supporting multiple APIs, costing time at least and in some cases actually money in licensing and support fees. In addition, schools are demanding a high level of compliance and security (CIPA, FERPA,HIPAA, etc.) that can be difficult to meet when data, identity, and access are spread across multiple applications and users. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to: Enable single sign on so your application “just works” and teachers love it? Write to a single API and have your application work with all SIS providers and platforms? Helps your application comply with your customer’s security & privacy policies? Wouldn’t it be great if this didn’t cost anything? School Data Sync, which will be included in Office 365 Education, will mirror user profiles and class rosters from a Student Information System into Office 365.
