One of the biggest tech challenges of online school has been finding a way for students to download or watch a video from class relatively quickly. As teachers we’ve used resources such as: watching from Canvas, downloading from Canvas, downloading from teams, sending Sharepoint links, uploading to Stream and some teachers have even found their way on to Bilibili.  网络教学面临的最大技术挑战之一，是找到一种让学生在课堂上相对快速地下载或观看视频的方法。作为教师，我们使用的资源包括：将视频从Canvas上下载、从Teams上下载、发送Sharepoint链接、上传到Stream以及有部分教师甚至找到自己的途径去使用Bilibili。

T1 Use Onedrive to synchronize videos to the virtual classroom 使用Onedrive让视频同步到虚拟课堂上 #

As we move further into online school we’re looking to create a seamless way for you to be able to reach these videos by syncing your classes ( in Teams ) with Onedrive.  随着我们进一步深入网络教学，我们正在创造一个无缝的方式，让你可以用Onedrive让视频同步到你的Teams课堂上。

In order to get all your learning-related content in virtual school easily, you can set up the syncing and leave it runing when you are free. This will not spend extra time when your teacher asks you to access some big files in class.为了轻松地在虚拟学校中获取所有与学习相关的内容，您可以设置同步并在空闲时让它运行。 当您的老师要求您访问课堂上的一些大文件时，这不会花费额外的时间。

You and your teacher should sync your OneDrive and Teams to your computers. Then, when the teacher adds a file – like a video – to a Team channel, it will download automatically to your computers. And it’s easy! 你和你的老师同步你们的Onedrive和Teams到你们的电脑上。然后，当老师添加一个文件（例如一个视频）到Team channel时，它就会自动下载到你们的电脑上，并且很容易！

Use Onedrive to synchronize Teams files

T2 Compress the picture/video 压缩图片/视频 #

Using the iPhone and Quicktime player to shoot video or record the screen will use the highest resolution and bit rate to generate the original file, which is very useful in professional photography, but it is not necessary in low-speed networks. We can reduce the size of the image or video while meet the clarity requirements.使用iPhone和Quicktime player拍摄录像或录制屏幕会使用最高分辨率和码率生成原始文件，这在专业摄影中非常有用，但是在低速网络中却不是必须的。我们可以在满足一定的清晰度同时，减小图像或视频的大小。

T3 Upload and edit the document using web version Office 365 (Only if you don’t have a desktop license) 上传并使用网页版本的Office 365 编辑文件（仅限假如你没有桌面版授权） #
