Microsoft Teams for EDU
What are the features of Microsoft Teams for EDU which will differentiate it from the standard Microsoft Teams? Is there anyone who could give us a sneak peek at what we can expect. I'm quite excite...

Indeed! Thanks for the heads-up. This is huge!
I would not have picked that up - instead waiting for a different Teams for EDU tile in the Office 365 dashboard.
Interesting at this stage is some small differences between the desktop app and online app interfaces:
- When creating a new team from the desktop app, there are 4 options: Classes, PLC's, Staff Members, Anyone - as shown in your screenshot.
- When creating a new team from the online app, there are only 3 options: Class, PLC and Standard.
Something else I have picked up is that Class Notebook settings are not yet available as supposed to be according to the FAQ page. This is probably being updated as we talk.
An aside - don't we need a separate space for Teams for EDU - or is it going to live in Classroom?
