Over the course of the last 2 months, the Commonwealth of Kentucky has slowly been switching teachers and students from Live@EDU to Office365. Office365 contains several tools that teachers and students will find beneficial.
Lync 2013 - All teachers and students will have access to Microsoft's webcast software, Lync 2013. This addition will break down the walls of the traditional classroom and allow the classrooms of Kentucky to connect with people all over the world.
SkyDrive Pro - All users will have access to the all new SkyDrive Pro, complete with 25 Gigabytes of storage space. Since SkyDrive Pro is an org-owned product (unlike the consumer SkyDrive in Live@EDU), it is subject to the inspection of schools, districts, and the state. Users are able to share and work collaboratively on documents. Included with SkyDrive Pro is Newsfeed, which allows users to follow other users, documents, or folders.
There is much more to Office365 that I haven't even learned yet, and can't wait to learn what other features we'll have access to. As I learn more, I'll be sure to share the great features contained within Office365.
