That's helpful. I've not seen those before. They're here along with others: Wireless Displays & Extenders – j5create Europe I'd be interested in any feedback from anyone that has used them.

Cloud based student monitoring... privacy & consent?
tapb replied to barrytech's topic in Network and Classroom Management
Good questions. A headache I know but you could do a consolidated AUP for monitoring and other tools. As a start, reach out to Senso and ask how they deal with those concerns. I've worked with some of their team and they're friendly and knowledgeable and have been in this sector a long time. -
The "Attach" dropdown list only allows you to select files from other Teams. You'll need to "teamify" the SharePoint site. Here's one way form an end user perspective: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-microsoft-team-from-sharepoint-545973b6-c38f-426a-b2b6-16405a561628 There are some recommended guidance for organising and setting up shared teaching resources for use with Teams that should be considered. There are ways that I've seen schools do this, but there are "limitations" and better ways of doing this.

Microsoft has the Learn platform with a dedicated Educator Center for self-paced training materials Educator Center Overview - Microsoft Learn Educator Center | Microsoft Learn Slideshows have some value but to have a great impact, I'd suggest running hands-on workshops with a "sandbox" Team/Site etc in your tenancy with the relevant policies etc. with learning activities for staff to working through the types of scenarios they will be required to do. Topic ideas include: What is Microsoft Teams? What is a Team? What are the different types of teams? What's the difference between SharePoint/Teams/OneDrive? When should I use which? What's the best place to save certain types of documents? Version History Recycle Bin What's the difference between chat, posts and announcements? When should I use which? How do I make sure staff are informed but not too many notifications? etc etc

It might worth defining what's required for a "digital strategy". Is it only about systems, licensing and infrastructure or does it include how teachers will use technology for teaching, automation of school admin processes etc?

Different I know, but also worth exploring. Adobe Express - free for education, cloud-based and SSO with Google and Microsoft. Adobe Express for Education

I was really hungry this morning so I went to supermarket to buy a pie. It was the biggest pie I've ever seen, so I thought I would weigh it to see how heavy it was. But where could I find scales so big to weigh it? Then I heard, a song playing as I left the supermarket, and I knew, "Somewhere over the rainbow, weigh a pie..."

Managing/Using/Deploying/Doing MS Surface Devices?
tapb replied to Madman_Lorenzo's topic in How do you do....it?
There are a few places to start and much to say. This might a good place to begin: Manage your education devices with Microsoft 365 - Learn | Microsoft Docs If you're looking at Microsoft Surface Laptop SE devices that run Windows 11 SE mostly for Office and web apps, these videos might be a good start: Microsoft Surface Laptop SE: IT Administrator experience - YouTube Microsoft Surface Laptop SE | Student out-of-box experience - YouTube You can use Intune with Autopilot to manage any Windows devices (not just Surfaces) and can also manage iPads/iPhones, Macs and Android devices. -

Windows update 06/09/21 has broken Onenote for Windows 10
tapb replied to chazzy2501's topic in Windows 10
So what was the actual issue? We had many instances where the OneNote Windows 10 app didn't work (but it worked in OneNote desktop) but I couldn't find it reported anywhere on Microsoft's dashboards. -
Is mail merge available in the online version of O365?
tapb replied to cheaptonersucks's topic in Cloud Services
The majority of my role is working at the people end of technology with training and adoption and it's definitely ramped up the levels of complexity. FYI here's the official "service description" for Word for the Web including "Mail merge" Word for the web - Service Descriptions | Microsoft Docs -

It is one of the many things that can be done with PowerAutomate -
Glad you've got it sorted.

Writing on the screen does not require any pairing. First check the AAAA batteries are in then and around the correct way and test it on another Surface device (if you have any). If you've got any other Surface pens try them on the new devices to check the drivers.

I've not got one or seen one but am familiar with the Surface pens. I'm not sure you can pair it. See here: Identify your Surface Pen and features (microsoft.com) Out of interest, what are you hoping to use the pairing for? To launch applications? To use Find my pen?

Unfortunately it's moving to an additional subscription - even beyond Microsoft 365 A3 or A5 from what I found out: "Education Insights Premium is currently available as a private preview in a few districts and institutions. Starting this July 2021, it will be available for purchase. More details will be provided soon, but please contact your IT admin to contact their Microsoft account manager for more information. The free trial will be available until October 2021." Education Insights Premium in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Educator Center
