It seems to me that if a section is distributed using Onenote, not Onenote for Windows 10, it doesn't appear as a possible section to distribute a page related to an assignment in Teams. Previous sections distributed using Onenote for Windows 10 are all available. Bug or feature?Oddgeir SværenNov 03, 2023Copper Contributor669Views0likes0CommentsUsing Read Aloud in Microsoft Edge

Hello, I've been working with students and teachers with Microsoft Translator and using Office Lens to scan in documents to Immersive Reader. After using these products with the students, these are features that would be really helpful: Using Microsoft Translator, it would be very helpful if, when you take a picture of the document, page, etc., that you could listen to the words on the screen since they are not translated for you, such as Immersive Reader operates. Using Office Lens to scan documents, etc. in order to integrate with Immersive Reader, it would be very helpful if you could have Translate built into Office Lens so it could translate the document and then read it to you. OR have Translate be directly tied to Immersive Reader. Thank you, Jessica StepaniakJessica StepaniakNov 08, 2018Copper Contributor1.2KViews2likes0CommentsEditing with Learning Tools
The Learning Tools are fantastic. It's great to see them included in Word desktop now which means they can be used whilst editing too! Unfortunately the page colours are limited to None, Inverse and Sepia. Is the plan for the full range of colours to be included?ta_pbSep 28, 2018Steel Contributor1KViews1like0CommentsPowerPoint limitations in O365
The past couple of weeks I've been showing teachers how to do these things with the desktop version of PowerPoint (see video) https://youtu.be/x5WWXLQdXcY Things like a clickable Table of Contents, Choose-Your_Own_Adventure, making comic strips, cropping pictures into shapes, animations, etc. They've loved it, but almost none of them can be done in the O365 version of PowerPoint. But they can all (except the animations) be done in Google Slides. Since our district has over 28,000 Chromebooks, theses teachers and their students will continue to "Go Google" to use these ideas. I'm trying to advocate for Microsoft over Google, but until PowerPoint in O365 gets more features, our district will keep looking the other way, and all the popular bloggers will continue writing about all the cool things you can do with Docs, Sheets and Slides.Matthew NickersonJul 13, 2018Copper Contributor2.6KViews0likes1Comment
