This was handy. Driving me crazy.
An owner of a team (a teacher) was muted and couldn’t post in any channels within the team. There’s no option to mute or unmute a team owner, so she couldn’t chat with her class.
Beautiful sky over @Banton_pr this morn. A warning?
I got a new iPad today
I got a new iPad today. The 8 gen model nothing fancy. Set up in a tick using my phone. I’ve installed a bunch of application, but no work ones. No FirstClass no Teams, Office, no work or glow account in mail.
Hopefully going to be a browsing, reading and blogging machine maybe messing with media a little but no work.
Over lockdown 1 and 2 my Mac has become filled with work. I sit down to do whatever and an email or teams ping. My browsers are full of tabs of teaching. My phone is pretty much the same.
My younger sister, she was in seventh grade, had written a little report about Pablo Neruda. So, I took her school report and turned it into the Wikipedia article on Pablo Neruda.

I’ve got a Team for my class with several channels. When I share to Teams from an iOS app (keynote, whatever) I can search for the Team and it shows me a list of channels. All except one.
Which just happens to be the one I want my class to share into.
I can’t seem to see anything in that channel setting that are different.
That channel also will not allow another member of staff to reply or post. Even though she is an owner of the team. Weird.
Happy birthday #wikipedia20 I am thankful every day.

“sorry, we can’t take you to this destination at this time”
A pupil go this error on her mum’s android phone trying to get to a Teams assignment the other day. It took a while to back & forth to find out what was going on & to find an answer, a common problem, perhaps, with multiple accounts on android. Our solution was to provide iPad.
Just hanging this here in case it helps, not with my solution but knowing it is a problem sometimes is a comfort. Also as a help to my ever older memory.
Teams behaved a bit better today
Teams behaved a bit better today. I got nearly the whole class in. I found that when pupil could not get access inviting them to join the call nearly all worked. This failed for one pupil.
Teams seems to use a lot of resources, a fair bit of beachballing and my fan started when searching for pupils to call in. I presume that Teams being an electron app and uses a lot of resources.
Glad I’ve got a small class, pulling in 33 one by one would be tedious.
On another positive note joining the meet with computer and iPad and then sharing screen with iPad continued to work well. I even manage to show the class team on the iPad screen in the meeting which was handy for explaining things. This is much better, I might even try PowerPoint again if things continue to improve. 1
Teams still seems a bit, what my class calls, laggy. Some pupils had difficulty uploading files to assignments. I found even small images were slow to post.
On a side note the Education Scotland – status page is nice
