How do I share assignments to Microsoft Teams?

There are two pathways to creating your Microsoft Teams-integrated assignments, depending on the method of integration you prefer.

To create a new assignment from Microsoft Teams:

1. 1. Select the class you want to assign a video lesson from your Teams class list.
   2. Click on the “Assignments” tab in the left-hand menu.
   3. Click “Create” and then choose “Assignment” from the drop-down menu to start building your new assignment.
   4. Enter the assignment title and instructions, if desired.
   5. Click the “Apps” option below the assignment instructions.
   6. Search for and select “Edpuzzle” from the optional apps.
   7. Choose the video lesson you’d like to assign from your My Content library.
   8. Once selected, click the “Assign” button.
   9. Decide whether you want to prevent skipping or turn on closed captions using the toggle switches next to each option.
   10. Then, click “Assign” and “Save” to confirm your choices.
   11. Set the assignment “Points” to 100. If this field is not filled, your grades will not sync correctly!
   12. Choose your assignment due date.
   13. Lastly, click “Assign” to post your assignment!

With this method, your students will view assignments directly from Microsoft Teams. This means easy access and no need for them to navigate to another website to complete their work.
