Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams

Teams is a program, that is part of the Office 365 suit, that will allow you to interact with, get instruction from and seek help from your teachers.  

Teams will provide specific lesson instructions for your lesson that day and should either include the resources that you would need to access or direction on where to find them.  

Teams becomes the virtual classroom space, where you can hear from/see you teachers and get extra support or instruction.

For example, Year 7 Joe Bloggs would have the email address: h20bloggsj@educationvillage.org.uk. If you still need to find out your school email address, please see either your form tutor, or your IT teacher.

Your password will be the same as your school password after you next change your school system password. To change your school system password you need to contact your head of year, 


How do I install the software on a PC/Mac? 

If you are logging into the portal for the first time and don't already have the latest office suite installed on your machine, there will be a message inviting you to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azM1RUTWn8c&nohtml... If you have already used one of your licences and wish to install on another device, you may need to find the settings option (a cog icon at the top right hand side of the screen). Once there you can select “Office 365 settings” and there is an option to install software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx7Bn54dvRo&featur...
