Microsoft Teams
In the event that we need to switch to remote teaching, students will be able to access this through Microsoft Teams. This is the same system through which their Independent Learning is set, so is familiar to them.
All students have a Q3 Academy Great Barr Microsoft Account that they can use to access this which will allow them in turn to see resources and activities specific to their classes. Students can log in to Microsoft Teams using their Academy email address which is in the format username@gbr.merciantrust.org.uk and their password which is the same as the one they use to log on to an Academy device.
Microsoft Teams can be easily accessed through the internet browser of any device connected to the internet (mobile phone, tablet, computer/laptop, smart TV, games console, etc.).
Where using a mobile device or tablet, students may find it helpful to download the Microsoft Teams app available in the App/Play Store.
