Microsoft Office 2010 – Planting the seeds of ideas

Kristen and I are quite excited about the launch of Office 2010 (I think we need to get out more!). We have gathered some resources from our colleague Ray Fleming who writes the UK Schools Blog; he and his team have been busy creating some entertaining videos with suggestions of how they think features of Office 2010 could be used in the classroom. Along with an Overview and Product Guide, these provide a great way to introduce the new features, and illustrate that the changes will not impact negatively on current teaching and learning resources. The new features might give some ideas of how current resources can be enhanced and opportunities developed to create new ones.

This is what we're really interested in -- what great learning opportunities will teachers and students be able to create with these new features? (We're especially excited about the Office Web Apps.) We will be looking for, developing and sharing these ideas throughout next year as part of the Partners in Learning Network programme. In the meantime, we think these guides will help plant the seeds of those ideas for your teaching.

As yet, we do not have an education-specific video for Office Web Apps. As soon as we receive one we will let you know.
