Prepare to teach
The next sections cover the main course components and how you can use them in class. This
includes Microsoft PowerPoint slides, module-review questions, reference links, demonstrations
and practice exercises, and labs. You have a lot of flexibility in how you use this content to create
the best learning experience for your students.
PowerPoint slides
PowerPoint slides supplement the course material to help you teach the course. Be sure to
review the materials in the main course content to ensure you’re covering topics fully. If you
simply read the slide to students, you won't have enough content to fill the scheduled time. The
following list describes some of the points to remember about the course PowerPoint slides:

The WS-011T00A_M0.pptx file provides information for your first day of class. It includes a
brief agenda, lists the course's modules, and also includes a brief overview of the lab
objectives. We recommend that you customize this file according to your specific situation,
such as modifying some of the slides to match the information you want to present. For
example, you could expand the information about the Windows Server administrator role
and discuss it in more detail with your students.
The PowerPoint files include slides that are designated as demonstrations. The course
includes a good deal of hands-on guidance that is combined with additional information to
create a richer learning experience for the student.

Labs and demonstrations in the course

The student materials contain the high-level steps for all of the course's labs and demonstrations.
The Notes sections of the PowerPoint files include detailed steps for performing demonstrations.
You might choose to have your students follow along as you perform the demonstrations.
Students should use the VM environment when completing demonstrations and labs.

Module-review questions
Each module includes module-review questions. You can supplement the module-review
questions with your own questions, and you can modify the additional questions to your
students' skills and experience levels. You can use the module-review questions in several ways,
including the following:

As a group, the entire class can discuss the questions before progressing to another section.
You can cover the questions individually, as you cover the associated material.

Reference Links
The course content for students includes many reference links that provide additional
information. To capitalize on the content of these reference links:

Review them before you teach the course and validate that the content is current and
correct.
Let students know that they can use them after the course to review and confirm what
they've learned.

Course resources
There are a lot of resources to help you learn about Windows Server. We recommend that you
bookmark the following websites:

Microsoft Learn: Free role-based learning paths and hands-on experiences for practice.
Windows Server documentation: Articles and how-to guides about using Windows Server.
