explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams for Education is getting a new feature that makes it easier for students and teachers to access their assignments and classwork. Imagine it like a new, organized bookshelf where you can see all your books (or in this case, assignments) at a glance, and you can grab what you need without having to dig through piles. This updated grid view allows users to directly access their assignments, classwork, and channels right from the main screen, saving time and effort.
This change is part of Microsoft's ongoing improvements and will be available to everyone using Microsoft Teams for Education around the world by the end of October 2024. The good news is that this update will happen automatically, so there's no need for IT administrators to do anything. However, it might be helpful to inform users about this change so they know what to expect and can take full advantage of the new feature.
Think of it like a new app update on your smartphone that automatically installs and makes your favorite app more user-friendly. You don't have to do anything to get the update, but knowing about it helps you use the app more effectively. Similarly, this refreshed grid view in Microsoft Teams for Education aims to streamline the process of accessing educational materials, making the digital classroom experience smoother for everyone involved.
