Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration platform widely used in education for sharing resources, assignments, and supporting learning. At The Garibaldi School, its main purpose is to share Independent Learning Tasks (ILTs), distribute class resources, and allow students to access their timetables through the calendar feature.

What is an email?

Emails (Outlook)

Microsoft Outlook is an email  service for communication. At The Garibaldi School, it allows teachers and students to manage emails.

You can use email to send text, images and files to another person.

Email Structure

Do you know the structure of a formal email?

Subject

Message Body

sign off

Salutation

concluding sentence

Introduction

Recipent address

Do!

• Have a clear Subject
  
• Have a professional salutation (not hey, yo, hiya etc)
  
• Proofread your email before you send it
  
• Use it as you would use a letter

Don't!

• Treat email like social media messaging !
  
•  write too much. (Try and be precise and brief)
• Use slang/humour as it can be lost in reading
• Send inappropriate messages to peers as all student emails are scanned / monitored by the school system.

Other considerations

When you know the person:

• Either first name or
  
• Ms or Mr using surname (do not use Mrs or Miss)
  
• Start your message with a positive (eg I hope you are well)
  

When you don't know them:

• Use Dear Sir/Madam
  
• Start the email with who you are (My name is.....)
