If you've never used Office 365 and are wanting to find out what the deal is, this presentation is for you.
I gave this presentation to a group who had never logged into Office 365.
We started by going over the apps and then through how to personalize your online account, choose a theme and start page.
Then we looked at personalizing Office by signing into Office with our credentials.Now our recent file history will be visible.
We ended up talking about Teams, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint.

Microsoft Viva. Viva is an employee experience platform that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere.
Viva brings together communications, insights, knowledge, and learning within the flow of everyday work and collaboration, in Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams is where most remote and hybrid work happens these days. And, Teams has become a hub where we can bring all these resources together into an integrated system of engagement – what Gartner calls a new work nucleus or digital workplace hub.
Importantly, with Microsoft 365 we already have foundational capabilities in each of these areas like Yammer, SharePoint, Stream, Workplace Analytics, Microsoft Search, LinkedIn, Glint and more.
Microsoft Viva builds on this foundation by adding innovative new services and insights focused on people development and success.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders. For example, employees get personalized insights, only they can see, that help them protect their time for breaks, focused work, and learning in order to promote improved productivity and wellbeing.
Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.
Some great information on Microsoft Teams.

How Using Microsoft Office 365 Can Benefit Your OrganisationBright Technology
The growth of cloud infrastructure in recent years has led to a surge in popularity of Software as a Service (SaaS) packages such as Microsoft Office 365. This popularity stems from a variety of factors, including ease of use, reduced costs, and automatic updates. Recent research by IDC demonstrates that businesses are increasingly using cloud-first procurement strategies. As
a result of this and other factors, IDC forecasts that global public revenue from IT cloud services will grow at over 19% through 2019, nearly 6 times the growth rate of IT spending growth as a whole – with spending on SaaS leading the way. Currently, almost 80% of businesses deploy or fully embrace the cloud, according to IDC. Furthermore, the percentage of companies expressing no
interest in the cloud has declined to 8% from 21% in 2014. The cloud has truly become a mainstream IT tool for most businesses, offering enhanced productivity enabling companies to improve the efficiency of their operations. This guide will explain why the cloud matters to SMEs (small and medium-size enterprises) as well as covering in detail the various features and benefits of the Microsoft Office 365 cloud bundle.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

14. Questions that Google Would Like to Avoid
• Can you tell me the number of apps that are not available on Chromebooks
or via a Google Classroom such as Design Tools?
• What do I do if I have to run Microsoft Office for by Student Information
System or other administrative function, do you suggest I run both Google
and Microsoft?
• How do teachers share easily with administrators who are only running
Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint and not loose fidelity of the
Word, Excel and PowerPoint document?
• How do parents, who run Office apps at work, such as PowerPoint, help
their kids with Google Slides?
• What do you suggest if I don’t have access to the Internet or I want to work
offline?
• How does Google respond to Microsoft products like OneNote?
15. Questions that Google Would Like to Avoid
• How do I handle some of the advanced functions available in Excel
that Sheets won’t do or special transitions I can do in PowerPoint that
Slides won’t do?
• Isn’t Microsoft’s recently released Teacher Dashboard for Office 365
just as functional as Google Classroom?
• While you are scanning my schools email for virus and malware,
aren’t you also collecting information to sell for adverstising?
16. Questions Microsoft Would like to Avoid
• The number of teachers that are developing content for Google is four or
five times the number for Office, true?
• The focus and customization that Google Classroom has as compared to
Microsoft Office 365, addressing teaching methods etc. Do you have
specific training on this like Google does on Classroom?
• Google is free, free, free, can you say the same thing?
• Google Apps Marketplace compared to Office 365 marketplace, doesn’t
Google have many more apps?
• If I don’t have Office Apps installed locally, what do I do if I need to work
offline with my Office 365 web apps?
• Why haven’t schools developed more process and teacher support for
products like OneNote?
17. Questions Microsoft Would like to Avoid
• SharePoint seems like over kill for things that I would use Google Sites for.
It seems much easier to create and share documents for my class in Google
Sites, how do you respond to that?
• Google is innovative and creating new things for education all the time but
Microsoft is usually playing “me too”, true?
• I run Macbooks, iPad’s, Windows PC’s and Android tablets, isn’t a fully
cloud based solution like Google a much easier way to handle all these
devices rather than worrying about locally installed applications requiring
different versions and applications?
• My kids prefer Chrome browser and I run into problems with IE running
Google apps, why is that?
• What if I want to move to very inexpensive Chromebooks in my district, I
can’t run Office 365 very well, right?
20. Who Wins?
• You Do…
• Both are great products for different reasons
• Both have advanced the ability of education to deliver on its mission
• Both have disadvantages you need to avoid
• So..
• Do you have all the facts you need to make a decision?
• Do you understand the impact these technologies will make on your
organization
• Would you like some unbiased help to sort fact from fiction?
