Microsoft 365: Join Online Instructor-Led Training in March

Beth Varcho | March 8, 2021

By popular demand, we are offering more online webinars – part of a series that we will be hosting regularly, on a rotating basis. These online classes will have an in-person instructor who will walk you through the applications and answer your questions. In addition to OneDrive and Teams, we have engaged Microsoft to offer Outlook and OneNote training. In addition, you can also access the Administrative Resources Center to learn more about OneNote, OneDrive, Outlook and Teams (you’ll need to log in to see these resources). For these training:

  • Registration is NOT required.
  • Microsoft instructors will present these sessions.
  • All sessions will use the same link.
  • All sessions are 2 hours, ending with Q&A session.
  • You can take the same session multiple times, if necessary.

Our next set of webinars are listed below. If you cannot attend, look for new sessions that we will promote in the future. We will also post recordings of each class, so you can view it whenever it is convenient for you.

Please look at the instructions and test the link prior to the webinar to ensure you have no issues connecting.
