Office 365<br />

Introduction<br />

Our mission is to empower every student on the planet to achieve more. With <strong>Microsoft</strong><br />

Classroom and Office 365 <strong>Education</strong>, we’re doing just that.<br />

Back to School with <strong>Microsoft</strong>: Student-focused, teacher-inspired innovation with<br />

Office 365 <strong>Education</strong><br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> is “all in” for education with exciting new Office 365 <strong>Education</strong> features – <strong>Microsoft</strong><br />

Classroom, School Data Sync, <strong>Microsoft</strong> Forms, OneNote ink, and Learning Tools. And Office<br />

365 <strong>Education</strong> is free for students and teachers at office.com/teachers!<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> Classroom is your workflow wizard<br />

Every minute an educator spends on administrative tasks is a minute they aren’t able to<br />

spend with students. With <strong>Microsoft</strong> Classroom, teachers can use the Office documents and<br />

class materials they already have – or create new ones using familiar Office applications.<br />

With this one-stop destination, educators can focus on what they’re truly passionate about –<br />

transforming the lives of students.<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> Forms are anything but formulaic<br />

Developing assessments takes time, and often involves a trip to the copy machine. As<br />

educators move to more personalized teaching, <strong>Microsoft</strong> Forms is a powerful way for<br />

teachers to customize their lessons, leveraging individualized instruction and responses,<br />

question branching, and image support.<br />

OneNote ink unleashes your inner Picasso or Pythagoras<br />

Most technology in the classroom relies on keyboard inputs, but research has shown that<br />

digital ink can increase the quality of instruction, and improve students’ math and science<br />

scores. OneNote has supported digital ink for over 10 years on Windows PC., also available<br />

on Mac, iOS, and Android devices.<br />

Learning Tools support readers and writers of all levels<br />

Educators strive to support learners at all levels, and classrooms are often comprised of<br />

students with a wide range of capabilities. Learning Tools for OneNote helps everyone<br />

improve their reading and writing skills.<br />

Get the kids excited and engaged right at the start of the year with<br />

the technology they’ve been crazy about the whole summer: augmented<br />

reality! Lifeliqe‘s “Go: Gotta Match ‘Em All” campaign lets<br />

teachers and students take advantage of this hot technology, and<br />

make it educational, while keeping it fun.<br />

With Lifeliqe, match the 1,000 advanced interactive 3D models with<br />

the right environment one by one and share your matches with<br />

others. So how does it work? Shoot a video or take pictures through<br />

Lifeliqe’s augmented reality feature, share it on social media, and get<br />

a free Lifeliqe subscription! You can also try your luck in a series of<br />

challenges that can win you extra months of a free subscription.<br />

Ready to give it a go? Step out and start matching! The contest<br />

started September 1st, and continues with a new round every<br />

month through at least December 2016.<br />
