Now that Microsoft has started rolling out its new 7x7 grid view for Teams as well as virtual breakout rooms, the company is releasing new features that aim to improve 'emotional connection' for students and teachers.
The latest Teams tools include 'praise badges' from the Praise app, which Microsoft suggests teachers can use to "recognize student social skills, grow emotional vocabulary, and give valuable recognition to the daily wins".
The badges will be available to over 230,000 education institutions that use Teams for remote and mixed learning.
