Microsoft's big office communication app, Microsoft Teams, is getting a fun new feature that makes it just as wacky as Zoom. You'll now have the power to pretend you're on a beach, in some faraway city, on the moon, or sitting in front of your favorite meme when you're on a video call-yes, custom backgrounds are rolling out, and it's a silly feature that all videoconferencing apps should have.

Since it's rolling out, there's a good chance that you might not have access to the feature just yet. That's fine. I don't know when you'll get it, but Microsoft hasn't buried this one in a settings menu, so it'll be easy to check during your weekly video check-ins with your team.

To find it, simply launch a video chat-it can even be a solo call with yourself-and tap on the triple-dot icon to pull up your advanced settings. Since I don't have access to custom backgrounds just yet, all I can do is blur my background (a helpful feature in itself):

If you do have access, you'll see a context menu that looks a little something like this:

Click on the option to "Show background effects," and you'll see a sidebar that looks something like this:

Pick one of the pre-populated backgrounds and you'll be whisked away to a new land for your meeting. Thrilling, isn't it?

How to add your own custom backgrounds to Microsoft Teams

Again, I don't have access to this feature, so I can't verify these steps myself. However, I've seen a little hack pop up that supposedly allows you to add your own backgrounds-whatever you want!-to use in Microsoft Teams. As Steve Goodman at Practical 365 writes:

Backgrounds are downloaded by the Teams client and stored within the %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds folder, and within this is a folder named Uploads.

In other words, copy that address, which starts with %APPDATA% and ends in backgrounds, and paste it into File Explorer's address bar. When you hit enter, you should jump to the specific folder where you'll see a bunch of image files for Microsoft Teams, if you have access to the custom backgrounds feature. Add your own image files, ideally the same resolution or ratio of what you see in the folder, and you should be able to pull them up as custom backgrounds during your next Microsoft Teams call.

My pick?

10 Internet Safety Rules to Teach Children

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
From making sure they don't fall for phishing scams to reminding them to never reveal personal information online, children just getting their start on the web may talk savvy, but still need a helping hand learning the stuff the rest of us know. Here are a few tips to get them started on the right foot.

The graphic below explains in detail, but the tips will look old hat to any of us who have been around the web for a while. Remembering to think twice before posting something you might regret later to remembering to lock down your privacy settings on all of your social media accounts are good reminders for everyone who uses the web, as is remembering good password hygiene. At the same time, kids new to the web do need some pointers on how to deal with cyberbullying and harassment, and to avoid sharing over-personal information on the web.

Of course, not all of the tips here are perfect for every family. Perhaps instead of resorting to parental controls in your household, you'd prefer to keep your kids technology use to family areas where you can supervise, and to talk to them frankly about what they'll see and explore on the dark corners of the web. It's up to you as a parent, but these are a good starting point. Good luck.

The best way for students to add posts in Seesaw is by responding to an activity. The Seesaw Activity Library is full of activities created by teachers to inspire student work, and allows students to showcase their work using photos, videos, drawings, notes, projects they've created in other apps, and more! As a teacher, you can also create your own activities.

Check out how to assign an activity to your students and have students respond here.

Students and teachers can post directly to the student journal. If 'new items require approval' is enabled, student posts go to the teacher for approval.

1. After selecting the Journal tab, tap the green +Add button, then either Post to Student Journal (students) or Post Student Work (teachers).

2. Choose the type of post you'd like to add.

3. Create your post. Edit your post to add voice recordings, drawings, text labels, or captions.

If a student accidentally closes their Seesaw app or browser window, Seesaw will save a copy of their work on their device or computer. When they open Seesaw again on the same device or computer, Seesaw will recover the work and the student can continue working where they left off.

For their work to be uploaded to their portfolio and visible to teachers and family members, students should still tap Draft (Seesaw for Schools) or the green Check to submit their post (see step 4).

Tap the 4. Draft button (Seesaw for Schools) or the green Check to complete your post!

5. Teachers can also choose to pin a post to the top of the journal feed. A pinned journal post will be seen first by students and families when they select the Journal tab. To pin a post to the journal feed, teachers can tap the [...] button on a post, then Pin to Top.

Teachers can unpin a post from the Journal feed at any time by tapping the [...] button on a post, then Unpin Post.
