Tips

Create a separate workspace for each class.
Let a group of students work on a single document together using version control, history, and comments.
Set up notifications to let you know when a document has been updated.
Use templates to quickly create and organize your workspace.
Create small or large study and project groups and track participation.

Make your assignments more engaging

Learn how to narrate your PowerPoint presentation.
Record the steps you take on your desktop to show students how to complete assignments in Word or Excel using Community Clips from Microsoft Office Labs.
Create instructional videos for students, or have them create their own, using
Windows Live Movie Maker.

Teachers using workspaces

"I have created workspaces to let debate team members post documents, take notes and meet online rather than during school hours... I can monitor their progress and coach them more efficiently during my free time, rather than taking class time to do this... I've been waiting for this for a long time."
