In today’s fast-paced educational environment, leveraging technology to streamline tasks is essential. Recognizing this need, the National Council for Computer Education (NCCE) and the Michigan School of Business Officials (MSBO) join forces to educate their community on the power of Microsoft productivity tools. Through a series of insightful sessions, they revolutionize how educators and school leaders manage their daily responsibilities.
One of the standout sessions focuses on the comprehensive suite of Microsoft 365 tools, including OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Participants explore practical ways to create, share, and organize content efficiently. From understanding the benefits of OneDrive for secure file storage to mastering the M365 App Launcher, attendees gain valuable insights to enhance their digital toolkit. This session promises to save time and ensure that educators have everything they need at their fingertips, taking their productivity to the next level. And don’t worry, we promise not to make any “Excel-lent” puns… okay, maybe just one!
For school leaders, another session delves into mastering Microsoft Outlook and Calendar. This workshop is a game-changer for managing the myriad of tasks and responsibilities that come with the role. Attendees learn how to effectively use features like Focused Inbox, email flags, and calendar sharing to streamline communication and scheduling. By integrating these tools into their daily routine, school leaders ensure that important tasks are prioritized and deadlines are met, ultimately leading to a more efficient and productive school environment. Why did the calendar bring a ladder to work? Because it wanted to go to the next level!
Additionally, the “WORD Wizards and POWERPOINT Pros Unite!” workshop is designed for educational business professionals seeking to elevate their collaboration in documents and presentations. This hands-on session uncovers hidden productivity tips and teaches participants how to leverage stunning visual elements in PowerPoint to deliver impactful messages. Whether looking to improve document management or create visually stunning presentations, this workshop has something for everyone. Why did the PowerPoint presentation go to therapy? It had too many slides to handle!
Through these collaborative efforts, NCCE and MSBO empower educators and school leaders with the skills to leverage Microsoft productivity tools for maximum impact. These sessions not only enhance individual productivity but also foster a more organized and efficient educational environment. By hosting workshops and taking the first step towards transforming your approach to productivity and collaboration, you can achieve remarkable outcomes.
