Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams for Education with Mike Tholfsen

I’m sharing this new webinar released this week from Mike Tholfsen:

This is a webinar I did that covers Reading Progress in Teams, a new (free) reading fluency tool that is a new feature in Microsoft Teams Assignments for 2021. Microsoft Teams Reading Progress allows educators to assign reading fluency passages that students can independently record themselves reading out loud. Educators can review the audio and video with AI assisted help and gather insights automatically on student progress. This webinar also covers the background on Reading Progress, feedback, new features in Teams and other useful scenarios.
