Microsoft Teacher Tools - Great Resources for Windows Users
Microsoft doesn't really push the promotion of its products in the classroom considering they are the single biggest supplier of educational software in the world if you take into account their Office Suite, Operating System and Student Software so I thought it was worth taking a look at what they had on offer for teachers to support education on Windows.
Well the good news is that for the first time in a long time I found some resources from Microsoft that teachers may actually get some use out of. Teacher Tools off lesson plans, tutorials, How-to videos and community forums. It is not bogged down with promotional content and has a search filter to help you find what you are after.
Obviously this is not going to use to people who use a Mac but for the the other 95 percent of us I think this might be worth a look ( Just for the record before I get abusive emails I use both). Check it out here.

The Microsoft Teacher Tools are likely quite good and I am not sure I get Microsoft's deal with making it LOOK LIKE they are only for Windows teachers. Microsoft, as I am sure you know makes Office for MAC. In fact, if you research the history, MS Office was first made for the Mac before the PC version. Pretty much everyone using a Mac also uses Microsoft Office. So they are missing the boat by leading folks to think these teacher tools are only for Windows teachers. Just stupid (again) on Microsoft's part!.
