As more schools begin to make the transition to distance learning and online classrooms, Microsoft wants to help.

Microsoft Education is committed to helping all teachers, students, and staff stay engaged and focused on learning. Creating an online classroom is an important step in moving to a remote learning experience. Free for schools, Microsoft Teams, provides a secure online classroom that brings together classroom management features, collaborative workspaces like OneNote Class Notebook, and virtual face-to-face connections in a single digital hub that keeps students engaged.

To help support you during this time, Microsoft has curated some top resources on distance learning.

Microsoft has created resources, training, and how-to guides that will help educators and their classrooms make this transition. As more resources are available we will update this page.
