Anonymous guest sharing in Teams
Ever wanted to share folders or documents, like the weekly schedule, homework etc., with anonymous guests like parents? For the sake of clarity, these are not guests invited to the actual team, but rather anyone receiving or accessing the link, by email, a text message or from a webpage. Unfortunately, when a team is created, the underlying SharePoint site has a default SharingCapability of ExternalUserSharingOnly. We can find the SharingCapability by logging onto Sharepoint Online with PowerShell, as an admin user with the appropriate permissions: Connect-SPOService Get-SPOSite -Identity siteurl | select SharingCapability SharingCapability : ExternalUserSharingOnly We can see in the https://www.google.no/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjfm_Kl6OjXAhXkHJoKHSDIDkUQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechnet.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Ffp161394.aspx&usg=AOvVaw1CVYoc09JwUiQgJ_BpPNfq that ExternalUserSharingOnly allows external user sharing (share by email), but not guest link sharing. What we need is ExternalUserAndGuestSharing, where both external user sharing, and guest link sharing are enabled; Check out my post on https://Teams.rocks to see how we can acomplish that using powershell: https://teams.rocks/2017/10/03/guestsharing/Option to create different types of teams is missing?
Hi, I was working with a different school yesterday to help them set something up on OneNote. I noticed that when I created a new team there was no option to create the different types of team (PLC, classes, etc) as shown in the picture. I was worried that it had been withdrawn but when I checked it out it is still available in teams on my home school. Anyone know why a school might not have access to this? I checked all the admin settings but I couldn't see anything obvious. Thanks
Re-use all Team (class) settings from semester to semester
I saw this post (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Education/Option-to-duplicate-a-team-and-reuse-its-assignments/m-p/151523#M157) about re-using assignments; my question is similar but not quite the same. We are getting feedback that teachers don't want to start using Teams if it means they have to setup their Team every semester; they want to set up a team once and then re-use the same links, documents, assignments, etc. every semester. What is the best option for doing this? If they use Class Notebook in Teams and put everything in there, will they be able to copy their Class Notebook to each new Team/class that gets setup for them via SDS? I don't think that assignments and Team documents are currently available to copy (from the related post I linked above), but if at least the majority of their online class can be copied to each class, that would be a big help. What does everyone else do?Office 365 A3 for faculty not recognized by Teams as Education
We recently signed a new license agreement with Microsoft and went with Microsoft 365 Education A3. When we license users with the Office 365 A3 for faculty licenses, Teams does not recognize them as education users. There are no templates when creating new teams (Classes, PLCs, Staff Members), no class notebook etc. Users still licensed with Office 365 A1 for faculty get the "Teams for Education experience". Anyone used Teams for Education with Office 365 A3?
Project Based Learning with Teams
At Renton Prep we have a secondary math course we run with 7th through 10th grade students, simply titled Integrated Math. We have effectively used Teams assignments to implement this project based learning (PBL) course. Here's an example of a recent PBL Math Investigation we used this year. https://discomath.com/activity/details/8/255-animal-vision?student=1 Full List: https://discomath.com/activities?math_activities___type=InvestigationUser adoption podcast for education
