off to run a training on a thing that I don't like to people who are being forced to use it. So that's super awesome.

@camerondotca A Microsoft product?

@mpjgregoire HOWEVER DID YOU GUESS? Honestly, Teams has gotten way better an it does some things way better than Zoom (and, from an economic perspective, it makes no sense to have licenses for both).

@camerondotca I have to use MS products at work myself. Not the tools I'd choose...

I'm not going to complain about Teams in particular; among the different apps I've tried for online meetings/messaging, it's probably the best.

@mpjgregoire I have issues. Most MS tools are overly nesting menu/settings driven and Teams suffers from it badly. I also don't like how they've have deployed new teaching tools without clarity about where the date lives and how it's managed.

@camerondotca Oh, using Teams to manage the data for projects is really a black hole for me. I know Teams can do so, but I try to avoid using it in that way. My firm generally wants us to use SharePoint for files, which works all right, and integrates nicely with OnePlaceMail for filing e-mails.

@mpjgregoire the thing is that htey now have a gradebook and quizzes. The issues with that are a) the results/info is tied to a username b) they should be stored in Canada c) a percentage of our users are minors, so I don't like their data being "somewhere" d) I don't have a sense of how we could pull logs if there was a complaint about grades/teaching.

@camerondotca Oh, you're working with a school -- I thought this was for bureaucrats to use themselves.

I really wish the schools wouldn't force children to rely on MS online services. I suppose it makes sense for students to use e-mail, teleconferencing, cloud storage, etc., but it would be better for them to learn independence from MS. Not sure what feasible alternatives are around though.
