I have no first-hand experience of O365, but having done a bit of reading and having seen a couple of online demos I'm just wondering how it fits into the range of applications etc available especially in the secondary school context. I can see that O365 competes with Google Apps for schools'/teachers'/students' attention, but how does it sit with the use of Learning Management Systems, (Moodle, KnowledgeNet etc.). Is it fair to say that O365 can do all that an LMS can do .... and more? .... and more flexibly? If so, why would a school use an LMS? On the other hand what does an LMS provide that O365 does not?
Also.... how free is 'free' to schools in New Zealand?
Hi Pete,
I have tried to look into Microsoft 365 in Education but I keep getting redirected to 365 for business?
Also I thought I was dowloading a free trial the other week but it asked for my credit card details which I was not comfortable adding?
Hi there
Arthur Miller school is a primary school and looking towards Microsoft Office365 and particularly One Note as a way of managing a transition to students working electronically instead of on paper i.e. having e books perhaps set up in One note ? We are really novice ( naive) in our thinking at present but one note seems to have the capabilty of a blog and can be private and only shared when required . Trick seems to be it doesnt have a dashboard so teachers can manage and monitor studnets' entries- Any wise words from out there ??????? SA
Anyone out there running both GAFE and Microsoft 365? I have a school interested in doing this, they currently have GAFE and want to keep it, but unsure how this works. I understand two school domains are needed, any practical advice on this?
