WHAT IS TEAMS?

Teams allows for collaboration.  Teachers can assign  work which they can review and grade. Each Team has its own OneNote Class Notebook with individual sections created for each student that only the student and teacher can see. Teachers and students can share files and discuss work in an open area.

NOISE SUPPRESSION ON TEAMS

If you work from home and have a dog, work in the kitchen  alongside a noisy washing machine or work in an otherwise noisy environment, you can activate noise suppression to block background noise.
