Microsoft Office 2010

I decided to attend this workshop based on my other hat as a Business/Computer Teacher. Right now our school district runs Office 2003 on all the computers except the HS Business classes - who purchased their own licenses for 2007. I am MS Certified in Excel and Word 2007. So this new version intrigues me - perhaps its a chance for the rest of the school to get caught up and then we'll be back to one version of Office. Perhaps I will be teaching this in a Business class. Maybe I'll need to become certified in these as well. Should be interesting to see how different 2010 is from the the very different 2007. Compatibility is another issue I want to learn more about.

So here are the notes...

PowerPoint will allow embedded video
pretty funny MS2010 trailer on you tube - see if I can find it
