Details In the Spring of 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic forced schools around the world to adapt instruction whilst prioritizing safety. Many schools migrated from face-to-face (f2f) classes to emergency remote teaching (ERT). Due to the speed of the switch, many teachers had to plan and improvise synchronous and/or asynchronous online lessons using software that was new to them. We elected to try Microsoft Teams and found it so flexible and practical that we plan to continue to use it, even when the ERT period is over. In this interactive workshop, we show teachers how to use Teams for ERT, online, f-2-f or hybrid classes.
