Resources to Support Learning

 

Using Your Gaming Devices to Access Teams

We are aware there are many challenges with remote learning, including the use of (or access to) devices. Some of you will have a PlayStation or Xbox and these can be used to access Microsoft Teams. See below for information on how to do this (although the guide is for Google Classroom, the method is the same for Teams). You can also watch the following clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/teams
