Garth Hill CollegeMicrosoft Teams for Education Guidance
Microsoft Teams for Education is the digital platform we use at Garth Hill College for home learning. It is designed for schools to aid communication, collaboration, and content sharing between teachers and pupils. It provides a unified hub for posting notices, assignments, and use of other integrated educational apps, fostering a collaborative and organized learning environment.
Microsoft Teams can be accessed via www.office.com, or by using the Webmail/Microsoft 365 links on the College’s website under the Quick Links menu to the left-hand side. Once logged in, pupils can access Microsoft Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Microsoft Outlook and many more Microsoft applications. From here, pupils can open Office apps in their web browser using the app launcher button (the button with nine dots) to the top left corner of any Microsoft Office web page.
You can also access Microsoft Office via phone or tablet apps; the below links will take you to the Microsoft app collections for Apple or Android devices:
