A teacher's day is nonstop—from before the first bell to after the last paper you grade at night. The Microsoft Office system can help you handle the writing, presenting, organizing, and communicating it takes to keep moving at the speed of the school calendar.

• Organize your materials. Microsoft OneNote helps organize class lessons, web articles, videos, and other multimedia classroom content in one convenient program.
• Express your ideas. Learn about the improved designs, transitions, quality graphics, and more to better engage your students with Microsoft PowerPoint.
• Access and share. New Microsoft Office Web Apps are online companions to Microsoft Office programs, like Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint. You can access, edit, and share documents from virtually any computer with an Internet connection, even if Microsoft Office isn't installed.*
