Adopting MS Teams for Remote Volunteer Program: Expertise Sought

After careful consideration, the remote volunteers will soon begin using MS Teams as their communication hub, instead of Facebook.

There will be a learning curve for most all of us. Thankfully, Jodi Wittlin will assist with the transition, as she uses MS Teams daily in her work with the State Department.

If you have a strong familiarity with MS Teams and would like to help your fellow volunteers, please contact Jenna. She'd like to share the best tutorial videos to learn how to use it, perhaps you can recommend some? Do you have a "cheat sheet" that is helpful in navigating around MS Teams? Any other thoughts and suggestions on how to make the most out of MS Teams? We are planning to continue to have our monthly meetings on Zoom, and to use Teams for posting announcements, training documents, and other information.
