In the second part of our Microsoft series I would like to provide a general overview of the Office 365 Suite, where to find professional development, and how these tools can be used in the classroom. It is important to note that the screenshots and information that I share are within the context of my position at MVSD; specific features may appear differently depending on your context.
What is Office 365?
The Office 365 suite, featuring more than ten associated tools/apps, can be easily accessed by selecting the "9-dot waffle" App Launcher in the top left-hand corner of your screen when logged into your staff intranet. For those outside of MVSD, you can access Office 365 at: www.office.com
