Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is a huge ecosystem of interconnected, web based applications that have many benefits over traditional local file storage and applications. It can be a very daunting and confusing place at first but you can start small and as your confidence grows, experiment with more advanced applications.

As a general rule the following steps will allow you to gradually get used to office 365 and ease you into the systems:

  1. Learn how to access the Office 365 home page on any computer
  2. Use Office 365 to check your emails
  3. Review the best practice on where to create and store files.
  4. Begin creating and storing files in OneDrive
  5. Start sharing documents from OneDrive with others so you can collaborate together.
  6. Experiment with Forms to gather data or take surveys
  7. Try the To-Do app instead of post it notes and lists on paper
  8. Setup OneNote so you can take quick meeting notes and store them efficiently
  9. Start investigating Teams/Sharepoint as a way of pooling files and resources together into once place so your whole team or department.
