Microsoft Free Tools for Teachers

Every so often I do a talk on various free software tools that Microsoft has available for teachers. The other day I did one such talk at the Mass CUE conference. In preparation I made a handout that listed the resources I talked about and then a bunch more. I thought that this might be a good time to post my latest list. Note that I always miss things because there is just so much available that it is hard to keep track of it all. You may want to check out https://www.microsoft.com/education/freetools from time to time to see some of what is new. The list with the logos includes what I talked about in my presentation while the list below that is a “kitchen sink” of tings I would have talked about it I’d had more time. I apologize for the lack of fancy formatting.
