Free Microsoft Software for Students

Microsoft are giving away software to students for free.  This is great!  I'm so please that they have decided to set up a scheme that allows this.

Microsoft Dream Spark gives students access to Microsoft Windows Server, Visual Studio, Expressions Studio and XNA to help them become either IT Pros or Developers.

Your local authority or university have to join the scheme but after that you can apply to get it.

I think this is a great step to giving students free software.  Next step - feel licensing to all schools!

About apearce

My name is Alex Pearce and I live in Birmingham, UK. I am the Learning Environment and ICT Manager at the largest school in the UK. I am implementing the Microsoft Learning Gateway into my 12th school and planning on hosting 60 primary (elementary) school in the same environment. SharePoint is the portal layer to the Microsoft Learning Gateway and I first started using SPS2003 before moving onto MOSS 2007 when it was released in late 2006. I am hoping to share my knowledge with you all. Why I hear you ask!!?! I work for an education organization and the reason I enjoy my job so much is because I want to help pupils/students achieve what they want in life. Why should I hide my secrets? Why not help other schools implement the Microsoft Learning Gateway/SharePoint solution to improve learning in their school. I hope you find my blog useful . www.sharepointblogs.com/ajp
