Student Permissions in Teams
- NoelF we have all of our students as members, populated by SDS. Permissions wise it depends on the teacher / class setting. Some prefer to disable chat in the channels for everyone except the teacher, some prefer to have discussion channels etc.
Regarding your 2nd question, it sounds like you would be best using Class Notebook. You can use it to push page(s) out to all students and then quickly mark / assess them using the built in marking navigation tool. Students cannot see eachother's sections, you can see all of them, and you can make collaboration & read-only areas for your shared content. If Class Notebook isnt an option, you will have to play around with the document library permissions.
NoelF it depends on whether its and event or an ongoing class or club discussion. If it is an event we add them as guest. If the Team is a student club for example we add them as members if they are members of the club. If they are students of the college or the center we are at, but not members of t hat specific student club, we add then as guests. We also add channels to events, classes, and clubs.
Regarding your idea of the Word doc, I assume that you do not want students to see the corrections or comments you make to other student papers or work you are doing with that student so think permissions. A file usually holds more than one doc so if you are going to have multiple docs to work on together during the semester you can do a folder or put in SharePoint list or library.
jfsuarez8 Thanks for the response...in playing around with and learning more about Teams, I found that the Class Notebook does a lot of what I was looking for. Each student has full access to their folder alone, whereas I as the teacher have edit access to all student folders. All I'm missing is to be able to edit the OneNote files (created by students in their folders), in Word. (As an aside I set up the Team as a Teacher team (and not class) so don't have the Assignments option). Teams has its good points but not being able to change theTeam type is a downside.

NoelF Thanks, much appreciated. I / we have not utilized Class Notebook very much to date although we are looking to start soon. Interesting challenges you are having. Something for us to be aware of. You're right, Teams has some very good points but it does have some real downsides as well.
We have attempted to use Teams for online class use during Covid. Had too many issues. We ended up just using Blackboard.
