Live@edu Services CourseGetting Started Participant Guide

2 Getting Started

Introducing your Windows Live ID

Every student and faculty member has been given a Windows Live ID. Your own Windows Live ID consists of your new email address and password.

Your email address will normally be composed of your first name and surname separated by a full stop, then the @ symbol and then your school email domain.

Your Windows Live ID gives you instant access to email as well as a large range of online tools to help you communicate and collaborate with students, parents, colleagues and your school.

These online tools are called Live@edu services, and they are all free for you to use.

The best thing about using Live@edu services is that because they are online, you can access them using your Windows Live ID from almost any PC connected to the Internet. In addition you can access them via your mobile phone.

This means you and your students can access email, files, resources and photos whether at school, at home, or on the go.
