Thanks for starting this thread, Nancy! I'm one of several people trying to help faculty and staff at my university move academic activities online during this period of COVID-19, and our institution is Microsoft campus so we've got Teams, for example, for synchronous meetings and class sessions. I'm particularly interested in helping faculty use good practices for engagement of meeting participants (students in this case), for example facilitating pair and small group discussion by using things like breakout rooms.?
I was therefore excited to hear you mention in ?that it's apparently possible to create breakout rooms with Teams. Unfortunately I searched around and was unable to find anything confirming or explaining how to do this. Can you -- or anyone else -- point me to something that explains how to do breakout rooms in Teams?
Alternatively, can anyone point to good explanations of other *easy* ways for relatively less tech-savvy faculty to use Teams to get students engaged in synchronous small-group discussions?
Sorry if this is a dumb question -- I'm new to Teams (though experienced in online collaborative work).?
Jeff
