Hi everyone,
My name is Mike Tholfsen, and I am a Principal Program Manager for Office 365 Education, here to talk about a special offer for all homeschoolers today.
On November 14, 2016, we started a pilot program to make Office 365 Education available to homeschoolers across the United States. This is a limited-time pilot to help us collect feedback and learn more on how key education tools like Class Notebook, Forms, and Microsoft Classroom can work better and empower home educators and homeschoolers in the comfort of their own home.
Due to overwhelming demand of the pilot, we have already fillled up our inital set of spots. We are trying to open up a few more in the coming weeks, but for now the pilot is closed.
If you’re already trying out the pilot and need help, we’ll be answering your questions right here, so please read on and post your inquires below.
How do I apply for the program?
To apply and learn more about the pilot program, visit Homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.
Am I eligible to apply?
Learn more on eligibility and how to apply by visiting Eligibility for the Office 365 Homeschool pilot program.
Is there any device requirement?
No, we are piloting this program across devices.
How do I get started with the pilot program?
To get started, we recommend you read Get started with the homeschool pilot program for Office 365 Education.
Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Mike
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Thank you for replying, Mouran. Could you please post a link to the forum? I have no idea how to get there. I may be missing something fairly simple, but I've already spent hours Googling and I can't find a specific forum and I accessed this thread via the original email I received which did not contain a link to the forum, only this thread.
Hi Lisa & Joyce,
Since this thread goes too long so far, we are not able to give you dedicated assistance at present. In order to help you better, I suggest each of you post a new thread at our forum in order to get corresponding help. I do appreciate your time and efforts.
Thanks,
Mouran
The error message says "Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service". What does that mean? And how do I fix it??
Has anyone who posted here with problems in the setup process received help from Microsoft? No one has answered my question and I have no idea who else to contact since the initial welcome email was sent from an unmonitored email address. I love the concept of this program, but where do you go to get help?
I am a volunteer teacher who is helping our high school teach construction classes. i have retired from construction and is using this for that.. my wife and i arre on fixed income.
