Hey hey, friends! As we have been assisting a large number of teachers with Teams, we have seen a pattern emerge. Teachers are finding these 5 Teams assignment features super handy when organizing lesson content and trying to stay organized and efficient.

Top 5 Teams Assignment Features

#1 Tags

Utilize the add category feature when creating a Teams assignment. This adds quick visual organization to your assignments.

#2 Editable work copy

Add templates to student assignments with resources. Teams can make an editable copy for each student! This makes completing work easy.

Student steps: #1 Click the resource #2 Complete the template #3 Click Turn In

Old school student steps: #1 Go to OneDrive and access shared doc #2 edit the document #3 Go back to Assignment #4 Attach saved file to assignment #5 Turn In

#3 Naming Convention

Create a naming convention for your assignments. This will help you and your students easily understand and locate your assignments.

#4 End/Close date

Due dates are extremely important so that students can plan accordingly. By default, no end/close date is selected. Adding an end/close date will prevent students from turning in assignments past the due date.

#5 Rubrics

Rubrics allow you to customize your grading criteria. You can create rubrics from scratch, save & share rubrics or even upload existing rubrics.

We hope that you have found a new Teams assignment feature that will help you in your classroom! Let us know what your favorite feature is.
