Microsoft Teams

How to use Microsoft Teams with Kevin Stratvert (His YouTube channel is a useful resource for Microsoft and other types of software). We’ll be using Teams for some assignments and if we go online we'll be using it for class discussion.

I’ve created a page specifically for this class. Elsewhere on this site, you will find a bunch of resources that we will be using or you might find helpful.


Moodle

As you know, our LMS (Learning Management System) is Moodle. If you need some help with Moodle, ask or check out the Moodle Overview on the Moodle YouTube channel. The SBU IT folks have put up a bunch of resources on using Moodle when you log into our Moodle site. Wagner College has a handy overview of using Moodle for students.


I’ve assigned podcasts to the class. Many of you will already be listening to podcasts, but if you are new to podcasts here are overviews for the two main podcast apps - Apple and Google. You can also stream the podcasts on your PC or tablet.

The two big podcast apps:

Apple Podcast App Basics (My experience is that a solid majority of students have iPhones, so this will be your default podcast app.)

Google Podcast App Review (For those of you not in the Apple ecosystem, this is a good bet.)

There are at least a zillion podcast apps (link takes you to a review comparing 10) and most of them will do just fine. If you have a favorite you don’t have to switch apps. I use Pocket Casts on a Pixel running Android. You can also find the podcasts on Spotify or Stitcher.
