Microsoft Office 2003.....say goodbye
Got a chance to sit in with Patrick Crispin and take a sneak peak at the new Office 2007. WOW!!! To start off with, no more file button and no more edit button, that was enough to take my breath away. My whole thing of telling the students to click file and save in out the window. There is a new way much easier, but to change the students and the teachers that have been doing it this way for years is going to be a headache. There is also a built in way to give credit to all of your resources you use, bibliography, etc. This was very cool. We are profile two to three years out from getting it at school, but home computers will start to ship with it in January. Problem with this that it is not the easiest thing to be backwards compatible. What this means if students save something at home, it will be different at school. If you have been around for a few years and remember what happened time this happened when Microsoft upgraded to 2003 from 2000. We got through it then and we will do it again. Lots of new bells and whistles. Technology is always changing.......
