How can I use Microsoft Education (MS365) on Toddle as an educator?
Last edited 3 hours ago by Prerna Singh.
Toddle supports integrations with external learning tools, providing students and teachers with seamless access to the resources they regularly use. In this article, we will explore how teachers and students use Microsoft Education (MS365) on Toddle for their teaching and learning.
In this article
Use Microsoft Education from inside a course/class
If your administrator has placed Microsoft Education in the course/class navigation, a Microsoft Education tab appears in the left navigation panel of your course/class. From here, you can open MS365 applications such as OneDrive, Class Notebook, Teams, Meetings, Reflect, Reading Coach, and Insights directly within Toddle.
The first time you open the tab, a welcome screen introduces Microsoft Education. To choose which applications are available in this course/class, click Continue setup.
On the Course settings screen, use the Enabled toggle next to each application to turn it on or off for this course/class, then click Done.
Note: The applications you can turn on or off depend on the defaults your administrator set. If an application is force enabled, you cannot disable it.
Once set up, the enabled applications open directly from the tab, some embedded within Toddle and some in a new tab.
Class Notebook needs a one-time setup the first time you open it. You create the class notebook and configure its sections, after which it opens each time directly. For common questions about Class Notebook, refer to the section.
Every other application, such as OneDrive, Teams, and Meetings, opens straight away without any setup.
View at the students’ end
If Microsoft Education is placed in the course/class navigation, a Microsoft Education tab also appears in the student’s course/class. From here, students can open the enabled applications, such as OneDrive, Class Notebook, and Teams, directly within Toddle.
Note: Students must be signed in to Microsoft with the same email address as their Toddle account to access MS365 at their end.
Use Microsoft Education in an assignment
You can add Microsoft Education to an assignment so students complete and submit their work through a Microsoft 365 tool, with their scores flowing back into Toddle.
To begin, navigate inside a class and create or edit an assignment. Then:
Note: The Microsoft Education integration is set up and enabled by your school administrator. To learn how it is configured, refer to
Under Assignments, you can:
Under Learning Accelerators, you can assign ready-made, skill-building practice. These save you from creating questions from scratch and give you insights into each student’s progress.
To create an assignment on MS365, select Assignment and then:
Note: Only the final numeric score passes back to Toddle, and only if your administrator enabled grade passback during setup. Rubrics and feedback added in Microsoft remain within Microsoft Education. The score scales automatically to the maximum score set for the assignment in Toddle.
View at the students’ end
Students can access Microsoft Education assignments from their portal. In the Your response section, they click Add to begin.
The Microsoft assignment opens within Toddle, where students complete their work, for example, answering a quiz or a reading comprehension task.
Under My work, students add their work by attaching a file (Attach) or creating a new one (New), then click Hand in to submit it.
Once they have handed in their work, students return to Toddle and click Mark as done on Toddle to complete the task.
After students submit, you can review and grade their work on MS365, then sync the scores back to Toddle.
Once the score has synced, it appears on the All submissions page in Toddle and flows into the gradebook, scaled to the assignment's maximum score.
When you share the evaluation with students from Toddle, the assignment status updates at the student's end, and they can see the score on Toddle.
Note: A student's work and score do not appear in Toddle until you return and sync the score from Microsoft Education. Even if grading is complete in Microsoft Education, the score is only visible to students once the evaluation has been shared with them from Toddle.
Note: Responses linked to external tools cannot be added as portfolio posts or downloaded.
If your administrator has enabled the Show response to students setting, students can open their response in Microsoft Education to view their submitted work, score, and any feedback once you have clicked Return and sync.
Note: Students do not need the evaluation to be shared from Toddle to access their scores or feedback on MS365; sharing the evaluation from Toddle only controls visibility on Toddle itself.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Q. Can I link an existing OneNote notebook to a course?
No. Microsoft Education creates a new class notebook linked to the course. Existing notebooks, including those created through the older OneNote integration, cannot be linked or migrated automatically. You can copy content into the new notebook section by section within OneNote.
Q. Are students added to the class notebook automatically?
Yes. Enrolled students are added to the class notebook automatically, and students who join the course later are added without any manual action from you.
Q: How is a class notebook created in the MS365 integration?
The teacher opens the Microsoft Education tab in their course, selects Class Notebook, and clicks 'Set up a OneNote Class Notebook.' The notebook is created on the SharePoint/M365 group site for the course, not in any individual's personal OneDrive. This means the notebook persists even if the original teacher is removed from the course.
Q: Where are notebook permissions managed?
Inside the OneNote interface itself, not in Toddle. This includes student editing permissions within their private sections and co-teacher access.
Q: Can co-teachers collaborate in the same notebook?
Yes. All teachers in the course share access to the same notebook and can collaborate within the OneNote interface.
Q. Can students resubmit their work?
Students cannot resubmit through the external tool unless you allow another attempt within Microsoft Education itself. From the Microsoft Education grading view, click the drop-down next to Return and sync and select Return for revision. This sends the assignment back to the student so they can resubmit. Note that this action does not sync to Toddle automatically; you will need to update the assignment status in Toddle as well.
Q. Why can I not see Microsoft Education in my course/class as an educator?
The integration must be set up and enabled by your school administrator before it appears. Also make sure you are signed in to Microsoft with the same email address as your Toddle account.
Q. Does creating a Microsoft Education assignment require a Microsoft Teams class?
No. Assignments work independently of Microsoft Teams. Your school does not need to sync a Team with the course to create or use Microsoft Education assignments.
