Paper-and-pencil work is just a fraction of the learning process.  When you integrate smart technology such as Microsoft Windows® XP and Microsoft Office XP into your curriculum, you're creating opportunities for students not only to do their work more easily, but also to help them stay engaged and connected.
 
 
TEACHING & LEARNING WORKSHOPS COME TO YOU
 
Microsoft offers free two-hour presentations to help educators get the most out of using Office XP and Windows® XP in the classroom.
Microsoft's Education Productivity Advisors are experts in Office XP and Windows® XP and can help you make the most of these valuable tools.  And because they know you are strapped for time, Productivity Advisors come to you—they can present at your institution's professional development days, conferences, or meetings.  (Presentations are available for both K-12 and higher education institutions.)
