This is the transcript of the "Setting up a team" video.
Speaker 1
Hi there. In this video we will look at the types of teams that can be created and the differences between them.
To create a new team, make sure you are on the window where all of your teams are located. In the top right-hand corner of the screen, click Join or Create team. Then select Create team. Four generic template options are available; class, professional learning community or PLC, staff, and other. A separate video will cover the features of a class team. A PLC is designed for teachers working in small groups or projects that require their own dedicated space. Everyone who is part of the team has the same permissions, and it includes a OneNote notebook with some suggested section and page structures.
A staff team is for school leaders to create where they and their staff can collaborate. Staff who are supervised by the leader are added as members. This team also includes a OneNote notebook with some suggested sections. Members receive their own section within the notebook that only they and the owner or leader can view.
An other team is similar to a PLC and it's designed for staff to collaborate in small groups. Everyone who is part of the team has the same permissions. However, this team does not include a OneNote notebook.
For this example, I'm going to create a PLC team. So choose PLC team from the four options. In the bottom right-hand corner of the window that appears, click Use this template. An option appears for you to select whether you want to make a team private or public. Private teams cannot be searched for by DOE users or joined unless an owner approves the request. However, public teams can be joined by anyone at any time. Best practise is to make teams private. So click Private. Give your team a name, and if you choose, a short description, then click Create. The option to add members will appear. People you add to your team are either members or owners. Start typing a person's name and click their tile. Here you can choose if you want to add them as a member or give them additional privileges as an owner using the drop-down arrow. Owners can add other people to the team, whereas members cannot. Once again, best practise is to have at least two owners of every team.
Once you've added in all members or owners, click Add. Your team has now been created and is ready to collaborate in. To modify additional settings or add others to the team, click the three dots next to the team name and select Manage team.
