153 An Introduction to the Cloud: Microsoft 365

Computers, Science, Tech | Available (Membership Required)

We have all heard about “the Cloud” – and many computers today include an option to use Microsoft Office, the cloud solution from Microsoft.  In this class, we will start by learning about the cloud and what it is.  We will spend a brief time looking at the three main options – Microsoft, Google and Amazon.  Then we will focus on Microsoft Office 365 – the cloud-based service that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint – and a file sharing known as OneDrive.  We will also talk about Microsoft 365 – the next generation of Office 365.

 

No previous experience is required – those of all levels of expertise are welcome.  If you don’t have Microsoft 365, we will show you how to sign up for a free one-month trial.  Microsoft 365 is compatible with PC, Mac, Android, and iOS.

 

Note:  You do not have to have a computer to attend this class.  There will be opportunities to have hands-on experience, so you are welcome to bring your own device.  In addition, there will be opportunities to work with the instructor in a group setting after class.

 

Twelve sessions:  Mondays, 11:00 a.m. - 12:10 p.m., September 9, 16, 23, 30; October 7, 14, 21, 28;

November 4, 11, 18, 25
