Microsoft Donation
Jeffrey Baker, IT program manager for Microsoft reserved 120 Microsoft Office licenses for the Manoa’s College of Education Laboratory School. Baker donated $700 earlier in the year to the school.
MS Office 2008 will enable the school’s three mobile labs to service elementary, middle and high school students. In addition to a computer literacy course taught to all 8th graders, services are extended to science, second language and English classes from middle through high school. And, when the mobile labs are deployed to the classroom, students are able to have their own laptop during class.
Along with MS Office 2008, Baker has included a single license of MS Standard Server 2008. All the software comes with two years of software assurance, a comprehensive maintenance plan, which means for any new version that is released within that timeframe, the school obtains it at no cost. The overall estimated retail value of the donation is $50,000.
