This evening I have read four education posts / tweets about the move from Office 2003 / 2007 to the fresh face Office 2010. I honestly believe that Office 2010 has educational benefits but as with all new software deployments it is wise to offer students and colleagues reassurance and support. If they choose to go it alone, all power to the.
Here are three tools to help provide that reassurance.

Lastly, lets not forget the UK Partners in Learning YouTube Channel. This provides a little more depth and creative application of Microsoft products, some you may be familiar with and others, you will be pleased to here are gratis. Reassurance remember.
