Hello,I'm a Greek teacher of English (TESOL).Yesterday I tried the new Challenge, Hour of AI- the First Night. Playing with my student, I kind of "studied" the detailes of this world, and I would highly recommend it to language teachers,too, not only ITs or CSs. It can be used as part of reading,speaking, listening and writing skills development, as the core of a CLIL lesson and as general students' awareness raising of how we can use AI safely,ethically and to our benefit. Please note that safely,ethically and to our benefit aren't buzz or empty words,but have the whole issues that concern teachers ,parents and other members of society.Worth trying and taking seriously.65Views1like2CommentsMicrosoft Forms (Require Number in Text Field)
Hello Everyone, I'm sure this probably a really simple question but how do I get Microsoft Forms to require a number entered as a text answer? The reason i'm asking is because I want to make an order form for monitor replacement for my school district but i'm finding that since its a text box they can enter anything. I had 3 responses that had questions and notes tacked into them and want to limit that for the future. Thanks17KViews3likes2CommentsOneDrive, Assignments, and Learning Accelerators are now Generally Available in Microsoft 365 LTI
Enhance your LMS with the power of Microsoft 365 Today, Microsoft is announcing general availability of the OneDrive and Assignments (including Learning Accelerators) experiences as part of Microsoft 365 LTI®—bringing seamless integration of Microsoft 365 tools into learning platforms to simplify workflows and enhance teaching and learning whether you’re using Canvas, Schoology, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle or other LMS platforms. Microsoft 365 LTI makes it easier than ever for educators and students to leverage the full suite of Microsoft 365 Education tools within existing workflows. And now, the OneDrive, Assignments and Learning Accelerators (Reading Progress, Speaker Progress and more) experiences previewed in July with the new Microsoft 365 LTI build on all the capabilities of the classic tools and add additional features in one convenient tool. Educators and students benefit from a more seamless and up-to-date LMS experience with Microsoft 365 Education. Teach and learn with confidence knowing that Microsoft 365 LTI is backed by Microsoft's industry-leading security and compliance tools with Microsoft 365 Education.

IMPORTANT: If you have deployed the Microsoft 365 LTI previously, you do not need to redeploy in your LMS – however, we do recommend reviewing the deployment guide for any new recommendations or deployment guidance, and revisit your Admin Settings to check your M365 Admin Consent status and review the apps enabled for your educators to have access to in their courses. Classic LTI retirements Microsoft OneDrive LTI, OneNote LTI, Teams Assignments LTI and Reflect LTI are set to retire next September 17, 2026. The Microsoft 365 LTI replaces these separate LTI tools going forward and we encourage you to start proactively migrating your course this term. You will find migration guidance in our admin documentation to help take steps now. We will continue to provide any additional migration guidance as necessary OneDrive and Microsoft 365 files with embedded editors and new placements The new Microsoft 365 LTI tool expands beyond the capabilities of the existing OneDrive LTI tool with capabilities for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, including Microsoft 365 Copilot - and is now available within your LMS experience by embedding or linking documents, videos, PDFs, and images into course materials like assignments, discussions, modules, announcements and more. Microsoft 365 LTI orchestrates management of permissions to prevent oversharing, and with dedicated course-level storage to support proper document lifecycle management, assignment workflows, and use of Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Includes: 📘 Lesson plans 📊 Rubrics 📝 Quizzes 🌍 Standards grounding (35 countries) 🎯 Learning Activities ➕ Lots more YouTube 📺 https://youtu.be/WkXVukl62KU?si=UT3FzN5fqXQ7KlBd44Views1like0CommentsLearning Zone: made to engage, built for student growth
Educators are finding new ways to make learning more engaging, inclusive, and connected. That is where Microsoft Learning Zone comes in, an AI-powered app on Copilot+ PCs that helps educators design interactive lessons that spark curiosity and active learning. Early feedback shows that Learning Zone helps save time while supporting personalized lessons that adapt to students’ needs and keep them engaged through interactive slides, exercises, and real-time feedback. Educators also value how the app supports high-quality classroom activities built on their existing teaching materials and a built-in gallery of free, trusted partner content, making it easier to create meaningful and inclusive learning experiences for every student. Designing interactive lessons that truly capture students’ attention can take hours of work. Learning Zone changes that by letting educators set goals and standards, review and refine what AI creates, and bring their expertise and creativity to make each lesson their own while AI takes care of the heavy work. Designed for Copilot+ PC Learning Zone is included with all Microsoft Education licenses (A1, A3, A5). AI-powered lesson creation is built for Copilot+ PCs. These thin, light, and secure Windows 11 devices are great for education, combining powerful on-device AI with all-day battery life 1 and advanced security. They help educators create lessons, adapt materials, and collaborate seamlessly, whether in the classroom, staff room, or at home. AI is integrated into familiar Microsoft 365 apps, allowing educators to use their own words to prepare lessons, translate content for families, or summarize insights from student work. Features such as Click to Do 2 , improved Windows Search 3 , and the enhanced Snipping Tool make lesson preparation, review, and feedback faster and more intuitive. 5 ways Learning Zone is getting even better As we approach general availability, these updates make it easier to create engaging learning experiences: Simplified lesson creation - Educators can describe their lesson goal, standards, and age group, and Learning Zone generates a ready-to-teach lesson outline that can be easily scanned and refined. Using AI, educators can adapt and personalize each section based on their pedagogical needs and guidelines before creating the full interactive lesson. Expanded language support - The app interface is already available in more than 50 languages. With general availability, educators will be able to generate interactive lessons in English and Spanish, with Portuguese, French, German, Polish, Dutch, Japanese, and additional languages coming throughout 2026. Rich and interactive activities - Each interactive lesson includes a variety of activity types that help students think, practice, and apply what they learn. Today, educators can use multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blank exercises, along with content slides that support images and videos. Soon, Learning Zone will expand to include matching, sorting, and drag to group activities, giving educators more ways to create meaningful, engaging learning experiences. New learning partners - Educators can explore ready-to-learn lessons created with the Nobel Peace Center, PBS NewsHour, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), alongside NASA, OpenStax, Figma, and Minecraft Education. They can also quickly generate Kahoot! quizzes with AI to extend their lessons and boost engagement. Accessible learning anywhere - Educators can share lessons directly in Microsoft Teams, and students can play them from any device, so learning can happen in class or at home. Starting in 2026, Learning Zone will also support integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS) using Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI™), making it easier to connect with existing classroom tools. Global citizenship with the Nobel Peace Center We are proud to collaborate with the Nobel Peace Center to bring the stories and values behind the Nobel Peace Prize to today’s learners. Together we are launching a new collection of lessons in Learning Zone that help students explore what peace, justice, and human rights mean in their own lives and communities. Each lesson promotes reflection, collaboration, and creativity, and is supported by a companion world in Minecraft Education where students can extend their learning through hands-on design and problem-solving. The lessons highlight Nobel Peace Prize laureates such as Malala Yousafzai, Wangari Maathai, and the 14th Dalai Lama, inspiring students to build empathy, think critically, and understand their role as global citizens who can shape a more peaceful and sustainable world. Looking ahead Learning Zone’s move to general availability this December is just the start. We will continue to learn from educators and evolve the experience to make teaching more engaging and learning more personal. Learning Zone is now available to download from the Microsoft Store. If your school plans to explore it before January 2026, ask your IT administrator to enable the app so your educators can get started. View setup instructions here. Join us at Bett 2026 in London to experience Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft Learning Zone, and other AI-powered tools for teaching and learning. We look forward to connecting with you and sharing how AI can help every educator inspire their learners in new ways. Footnotes: 1.

OneNote Class Notebook is entering a new era with a modern, unified LTI® 1.3 integration (as part of the Microsoft 365 LTI app) that brings back automatic roster sync and streamlines how educators and students use Class Notebooks within their LMS. This update is designed to benefit both educators and IT admins, making it easier to set up Class Notebooks and keep them in sync with course enrollments. In this article, we’ll cover the key new features, use cases, and next steps -- and how the new integration replaces the older LTI 1.1 tool (which is retiring in 2026). Quick recap: OneNote Class Notebook OneNote Class Notebook is a digital binder designed for classrooms, giving educators and students a flexible space to organize and collaborate. Each notebook includes a personal workspace for every student, a content library for handouts, and a collaboration space for group work. Educators can distribute pages, provide feedback, and manage class materials all in one place, while students can take notes, complete assignments, and access resources anytime, on any device--to make learning more organized and interactive. Seamless Class Notebook setup for educators Setup is simple. Once your LMS has the Microsoft 365 LTI app, any instructor can create a Class Notebook right from the course. Check out the more detailed instructions here. Open the Microsoft 365 LTI app in your course. Select Class Notebook. Customize the learner notebook sections (or accept defaults). Create and then Open Notebook. Your notebook is automatically shared with all students and instructors as they access the notebook. Students can launch the notebook from the LMS with single sign-on, making access seamless. Automatic roster sync returns Automatic roster sync is back with LTI 1.3. When you create a Class Notebook via your LMS, students and instructors are added with the right permissions and stay in sync as the course roster changes, with no need for manual updates. This results in less admin work and fewer access gaps as your notebook stays current with your class list. Powered by LTI 1.3 – Unified, Secure, and Future-Ready LTI 1.3 (with LTI Advantage) brings modern security and interoperability as part of the unified Microsoft 365 LTI app -- which covers Class Notebook, Assignments, OneDrive files, Teams, Reflect, and more -- to meet current standards and work reliably across LTI 1.3-compatible LMS platforms. For admins, one LTI app means simpler deployment and fewer plugins to manage, while configuration settings help you choose which components (OneNote, Teams, etc.) to enable or disable within the Microsoft 365 for your organization. This gives schools flexibility to roll out tools at your own pace. This new LTI integration also includes automatic identity mapping and course enrollment syncing. Meanwhile, educators gain access to a single hub for Microsoft 365 tools and can surface (or hide) components that are approved by the administrator. For educators using Class Notebook, provisioning is streamlined: launching Class Notebook creates and links the right OneNote space to the course with minimal friction. Key dates: Transitioning from classic LTI and next steps The classic OneNote Class Notebook LTI 1.1 will retire on September 17, 2026, so it’s best to plan to move to the Microsoft 365 LTI app before then. Existing Notebooks will still work, and you can copy pages/sections into new Notebooks as needed. Educators: once your administrator has installed the new Microsoft 365 LTI app, look for it in your course, choose Class Notebook, and follow the prompts to create a Notebook in just a few clicks. You can see detailed steps here.
