    I have no first-hand experience of O365, but having done a bit of reading and having seen a couple of online demos I'm just wondering how it fits into the range of applications etc available especially in the secondary school context. I can see that O365 competes with Google Apps for schools'/teachers'/students' attention, but how does it sit with the use of Learning Management Systems, (Moodle, KnowledgeNet etc.). Is it fair to say that O365 can do all that an LMS can do .... and more? .... and more flexibly? If so, why would a school use an LMS? On the other hand what does an LMS provide that O365 does not? 

    Also.... how free is 'free' to schools in New Zealand?

    Hi Pete,

    I have tried to look into Microsoft 365 in Education but I keep getting redirected to 365 for business?

    Also I thought I was dowloading a free trial the other week but it asked for my credit card details which I was not comfortable adding?
