Microsoft Teams is a digital hub that is used for collaboration, communication, classroom engagement, assignments and more. Each 3rd-12th grade Hope Academy student is a member of one of more classroom teams.

No. Each Hope Academy students is provided with a Microsoft 365 Account. Teams is included along with many other Microsoft applications, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

 

Teams is an Application within the Microsoft 365 Suite. Each student simply needs to sign in to the Microsoft account.

 

Portal.office.com is the link to Microsoft. Each student has their own Microsoft credentials which allow access to MS Office 365. The good news is, those credentials include the first four letters of their first name, their student ID and their password.  Yes, identical to what they use on campus.

 

It could be that things simply appear and/or are worded differently depending on browser, application, or operating system. This can be confusing, especially for younger students.  Example “user name” may change to “email address” and the box to fill in may “look” different. Just remind them that they first put in their Hope Academy user name (It is the same as their email address). Example – [email protected], followed by their password.

 

  • Reboot the student device daily – clears up a lot of basic problems
  • Check the internet strength/speed – a bad or slow internet connection can produce all sorts of strange results
    • How many bars are showing on their device?
    • Where is the student working relative to where their WiFi access point is?  The farther away the slower the speed.
    • Run speedtest.net and note their upload/download speeds and ping speed – they can use this to also figure out if locating in one part of the house vs. another makes a difference in the network speed.
  • What Operating System type and version is being used?  Older versions tend to have more stability problems.
  • Run the operating system “update process” – Missing patches and updates can be at the root of some problems.

While we recommend families watch on a laptop or desktop device, you may download the TEAMS app from the app store and watch the program from your phone. Have your student log-in to TEAMS on the app and you should be good to go!
