We will also take a look at features in Microsoft 365 (Teams, OneDrive, Forms, Planner, Stream, Shift) that can be valuable tools you can access from your computer, tablet or phone.

About our speaker Pamela Smith, Microsoft Office Specialist, has been educating individuals and corporations for over 25 years on the features of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Most recently, Pamela has helped train on the features of Microsoft Office 365, including but not limited to O365, OneDrive, Teams and OneNote. “At first my training was about teaching employees and individuals how to use the computer and the Microsoft Office programs. As employees have become more proficient with the programs, my training focus has changed. My training is now about educating employees on the features of the programs that can save them time and streamline their workflow.” “I have traveled all over the United States and in Canada training employees on Microsoft Office and custom software. One of the things I love about my job is having the opportunity to teach people how to be more productive through tips and tricks in the various programs.”
