SP Tech Blog

In this blog you will find the basic features of the Skydrive associated with your @stpaulsschool.org account.

I can’t stress enough how useful this can be to you.  You have FREE access to a basic version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote (Mac and Windows users)

You also have 25GB of online storage space for any file type (50MB per file max size).  This means your homework, assignments, or classwork can always be accessible at anytime from any internet connection - YOU CAN’T FORGET IT OR LOSE IT!

Watch the video for the basics and contact either of us for more advanced use if you so require (you may have to wait for a minute for the video to buffer).

Excitingly enough it is sort of compatible with the iPad.  I will create another video outlining that soon…

We hope that it has been a smooth transition from summer to the school year for all of you. We also hope that you have been enjoying our new e-mail system. We have heard nothing but good things from students and teachers and are very happy with the finished product. If you have yet to setup email access on your mobile smartphone, it’s very easy to do.
