A) For desktop

Step 1: Open the Microsoft Teams app and click on the “Join or create a team” option at the bottom of the Teams sidebar on the left.

Step 2: On the new screen that appears, click on the “Create team” button

Step 3: Next, define who’s part of the Team.

Make your choice based on how you want to organize your platform:

• Class: If the team should only have a few specific members, select Private.
• Profession Learning Community (PLC): Educators working group.
• Staff: If you want to host your entire organization as one “team” on the platform and use channels to divide departments, Staff is the ideal option.
• Other: Clubs, study groups, after school activities.
   

Step 4: Once you’ve chosen the type of team you want to create, you need to give it a name.
Choose an appropriate team name, like “Jefferson - Admission” or “Jefferson - ENG 101”, and then click the “Next” button at the bottom right.

Step 4: To add members to the team, search for the students name and select “Add”.

You are now ready to upload class material or add files for your class.
