ATLIS 2017

Office 365 is the cloud-based lateset generation of the MS Office Suite.  While most of us are familiar with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the desktop, and many of us use online versions of these products, the additional tools may be new to many. We'll discover these new tools during the session.  Sway is a new online presentation software with a short learning curve. We will show co-authoring collaborative features of Sway and allow session attendees to work together on a sample Sway presentation while sharing examples of how Sway is being used in Cary Academy classrooms.

Think of Office 365 Video as your school’s YouTube. ideo provides with an easy and straightforward way for faculty and students to create video channels, upload and tag videos for all kinds of school and learning projects. Uploaded video clips are immediately available for the entire school community to watch. Alternatively, secure permissions can be setup to make videos available to only selected groups of people.

Forms are latest addition to Office365 for Education and allow educators to create online surveys and forms in an easy and intuitive manner. Office Forms are similar to Google Forms but with native integration with other Office tools like OneNote. We will be showing real classroom projects and examples from our teachers.
