Powerful Microsoft Enhancements for Your Classroom

Improvements to the Office Suite

  • Edge Internet Browser now supports extensions, such as the Office Online extension (e.g. Chrome or Edge). This extension provides direct access to your Office files and enables you to create and open Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, and Sway documents right from the browser.
  • PowerPoint now has an automatic navigation link creation tool known as Zoom, as well as a new text highlighter tool. PowerPoint and Excel also take advantage of shape recognition, allowing you to convert drawings into shapes.
  • MS Word now features Researcher, a tool that helps you find relevant quotes and citable sources and images without leaving the app.
  • Boost your curriculum and lessons with Office 365 lessons available at the Microsoft Educator Community.

The future is bright, and options exist. Why not explore?
