Microsoft Sessions / Series

Description

These Microsoft sessions instruct participants on basics to intermediate skills when using the online and desktop versions of the Microsoft Office Suite. Projects will be modeled and discussed using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Office 365, and OneDrive. Along with learning to use the Microsoft apps, instructors will learn to create projects for their classrooms that serve the dual purpose of language practice (writing and speaking) and teaching basic functions of a common software program (digital skills).
