I swear, I wonder am I the only person out there that is amazed about the new stuff I learn about on a daily basis. Seriously, just when I think I know something I learn something new. I have been using Microsoft Office for quite a while. Even though it is not the newest version, I do have it on my computer and like using it. I was not aware of how easy it is to use Microsoft Office Live. It is perfect for our family because even though we have flash drives all over, we have a habit of forgetting where we left them. I know it sounds crazy but we do it. Microsoft Office Live lets you have this workspace that has 5 gigabytes of storage. For free! And you can access it anywhere. You can share all types of files and not just adults. My daughter is in high school and she has used it few times for school work. She has a flash drive that is just for school and even she agrees this is much easier. She had a group project with 3 other students. They were able to share all their files with one another while being in different places. This saves so much time. Especially for me as a parent. I have already had my fill of “could you drive me to so and so house so we can work on our project?”.
There are so many different workspaces.You can easily create your own that fit your needs or use the ones they offer. I really like the grocery list one. You can add the item you want, the brand , even tell “hubby” what aisle to find it in. You can create an announcement board for the entire family. This is a great way to have a single spot to check to keep track of what is going on. And the best part is you can’t lose it because it is online! I am falling in love with all this can do. I am suggesting this to my kids’ school. With all the holiday events and programs coming up, this would make pitching in easier for parents.
I am really surprised at just how much Microsoft Office Live offers. My entire family has found a way to easily use it. I can definitely see us using it even more in the future, especially with the holidays coming up and all the school stuff we need to keep track of.
