Waching daily Apr 30 2018

- Coming up we take a look at Office for Mac,

complete with the latest updates from tailored features

for the Mac, such as Touch Bar integration.

New capabilities to support teamwork in real time

co-authoring with integrative chat.

To intelligent experiences for content creation

if you're an IT admin.

We're going to show you how advanced protection

and unconditional access also now extend to the Mac.

(techno music)

I'm joined today by Scott

from the Office for Mac team, welcome.

- Thanks so much for having me.

Great to be on the show today.

- So a lot of times when we open these shows,

we see a Mac on the stage and people would comment

maybe on YouTube or on other places that it's odd

given our history with Windows.

- Yeah, it's pretty funny to me because

it's actually a little known fact that Microsoft

is one of the largest developers for the Apple platform,

really have been for decades now.

We've got a whole dedicated lab, dedicated team

that expands across the entire globe,

and one of the largest Apple device labs

right here on the Redmond campus.

- Right, in fact the work we do on Mac actually

goes beyond just Office.

Our dev tools like

Visual Studio code run on Macs,

even our Quantum Development Kit is now

actually available on the Mac as well.

- And beyond the Mac we of course support IOS, Android,

and basically anywhere you want to be, we are too.

So for Office, what really makes this possible

is our core Office architecture.

Having a shared code base across Windows, Mac,

and all those other platforms.

And what this means is we can deliver new features

for Office faster then ever before

across all different platforms.

The next thing you need to do is to think about

creating a code base that's platform specific,

integrating with the characteristics of the OS

really down to that platform layer.

And then on top of that we want to build in

a tailored user interface that complements

the familiar Office feeling with that great opportunity

of what the OS provides to us,

so it's natural and intuitive for the user base.

And then the last step is we really want to bring that

shared service code to hook into

the different Cloud services

and intelligent capabilities such as AI.

- So why don't we get specific on how we actually

take advantage of the Mac OS,

and what we do in terms of offering tailored experiences

for this platform.

- Totally, so one of those Mac specific features

is the Touch Bar,

and I want to go ahead and show you that today.

So here in PowerPoint, we're going to go ahead

and just click into start.

And as we go from slide to slide, you can actually see

a nice easy cinematic kind of transition here.

All this is powered with Morph.

So let me go ahead and show you how you can do that

with nothing but the Touch Bar

and few simple keyboard commands.

So I'm going to go ahead and just copy the whole slide.

Grab on to this quadcopter up here,

and then right on the Touch Bar I can select it

to rotate it to any angle I want.

And it looks like 20 degrees or so is a great angle for us.

I'm going to move it over, resize this guy a bit.

Find a spot for it that looks great,

and then up in transitions I'm going to go ahead

and make sure Morph is turned on,

and it looks like we're good to go.

And now we'll dive into the slide show

to see what that looks like together.

And as we go through the slides, we'll see

this quadcopter hop in from the right side

over to the left side with a nice easy transition

to create that rich cinematic feel.

And it was super easy to get that done

with just the keyboard itself and the Touch Bar,

which is unique of course to the Mac platform.

- Right, this looks really great.

One of my favorite features in terms of Touch Bar support

is how it works with Word.

- Definitely, so here we've got Word opened up.

And I want to go ahead and show you something

that's unique to the platform we have now with Word on Mac.

We can go ahead and click into our focus mode,

and the first thing you'll notice is it zooms right into

that document, fading to black in the background

and getting everything out of your way.

- So you can focus on your work.

- That's exactly right.

And you'll notice even the ribbon is gone on top,

but with the unique Touch Bar, we can still

do some light editing right here in the document.

For example on top I can go ahead and actually

pick out our highlighter.

I'm going to go ahead and select the green color here,

and now I can use the touch pad to just grab

this whole paragraph, make it green,

make it feel real important and easy to go.

Another cool capability as well for light editing,

I'll select in on the font, I can pick a new color out.

I'm going to go ahead and pick out this nice bright red,

and I can see where I want to change the color scheme.

And it looks like this area here would be a great candidate

to all of the sudden be in our red ink.

And we can do that nice, easy, light editing

from the Touch Bar.

And if we swipe left to right, we can actually find

several more opportunities, whether it's commenting

or adding pictures, all there in focus mode.

- Right and these swipe gestures are something

that we've also taken from kind of the IOS roots

in terms of how we're supporting Mac OS in this case.

We can do some things with gestures in Outlook

that we've taken from the mobile app.

- Yeah, so right here in Outlook, as I scroll

through my inbox,

really similar, of course, to the IOS platform.

Now we can actually go ahead, find an email,

and right on the track pad just swipe right to flag it

or I can swipe left to archive it.

So real, nice, easy gestures that are familiar

from the phone are now here right on the Mac platform

in our Outlook for desktop.

- Really cool, and these are a couple of things

that are specific to and unique to the Mac,

but you mentioned we hooked into things like Cloud services

and we can also do this, the stuff that we'd expect

on Windows or mobile devices, right here from our Mac.

- Yeah, so I'm going to go into Word

and just open up a file here

and show you some great examples

of what those services can do for us.

So as I open up in the back stage, you can notice

that there is the shared with me area,

so anything people have sent me over the past

you know few weeks, few months, is ready to go.

And in my recent folder here I can actually find

everything I've been working on most recently of course,

and it really helps us to avoid the idea of hunting around

in the inbox for links to save us a ton of time.

So I'm going to go ahead and just open up

this quadcopter camera document that we've been working on

here together the past week or so.

And one of the really cool things you'll notice

on the top right is it actually tells me,

you're in the document already working with me now.

- [Jeremy] I am.

- [Scott] And if I click on to this here, I can actually

go ahead and find your location.

- [Jeremy] Okay.

- [Scott] Oh, and it looks like you're actually already

in there typing in real time.

It's super cool how it calls out for us your name directly,

and you can follow that flag to see what you're working on.

- And the nice thing is here

with co-authoring, the documents

automatically saving in the background

so we don't lose any changes.

- Yeah, plus you can use version history to revert

to a version if you aren't happy with

the current edits you're seeing.

So it's also up here in the top right.

You see all the earlier versions of those files going on.

But another cool capability to help us working together

is we can actually chat with each other

right in the document.

So I see here my chat window, there's two participants.

I can say hey to you.

It looks like Jeremy is particularly complimentary today,

which I really appreciate.

- Yes, I always am.

- Makes it fun to work together.

So just like that we can stay in the document,

chat with each other, and get what we need done

real fast and easy.

- These are really great collaborative capabilities,

and there are other things you can do with AI

to make it easier to work with teams

that might be in other geographies as well.

- Right, so let's say for example that you're actually

working with a team over in Germany.

With our integrated translator we can go ahead

and either create a selection of this document

for translation or an entire document translation.

So I'm going to pick out a little area here,

go into our translate, pick a selection out,

and one of the really cool things is

it's actually going to auto-detect for us

that it started in English and take us over into German.

And we've got this panel in here before we insert

anything to give us a sense of does it look right,

feel right, before we insert it.

- And it looks pretty accurate.

It actually even restructured the sentence a bit

for German there, so it looks great.

I'm a German speaker myself.

Why don't we continue and translate the entire document.

- Yeah, super helpful.

So I'm going to go ahead now and actually

translate this entire document.

Again it will auto-detect that we're in English.

So one of the really cool things is it's actually

creating an entire second document, so we can grab it

and go side by side with the German version

that's brand new and the English version here on the left.

And we can see, does it look right and feel right,

and do a simple side by side comparison of those two docs

and keep them separate.

- This is another great use of intelligence,

in this case cognitive services, to do translation

of the document into a foreign language.

- Yeah, and there's another way that we're using AI,

and that's inside of Word with our resume assistant.

So let me open up my recent resume.

And with my recent resume open, I'm going to go over

to our review tab and just turn on that resume assistant,

which is all powered by LinkedIn.

So I can go ahead and in here actually pick out

whatever role I want to work on,

which is really helpful as I think through

of the different examples to get information

and inspiration of how I might want to represent myself.

And a cool aspect is I can even filter by different example.

Like product development here.

And you see it starts to get highlighted

in those different representations.

And a really cool thing too as I build out my resume,

I can actually pick out wherever I might want to work,

and how that we've been talking about Germany so much,

I've got Berlin on the mind.

So let's take a look and see

what opportunities are available there.

And so now that we've got Berlin picked up,

it's actually showing us local opportunities

of where we can work.

And if my resume is ready to go,

a really cool benefit is I can turn on this option

of being an open candidate,

and let recruiters know that I'm really open for business.

And I've got a great resume ready

to land that dream job for me.

- So great capabilities to help you find

your next opportunity, but why don't we go back

into the PowerPoint and just see how we're infusing

intelligence in there.

- Yeah, so I'm just going to open up a basic presentation

and show you some of the cool capabilities

we have going on now.

We've got a really simple document here,

but with AI and our designer tech, we can

actually make this look great in just a few clicks.

The first thing I want to do is go ahead

and actually insert some pictures from my file here.

I'm going to grab them, and this is part of

that same quadcopter we were working on a minute ago.

And as we drop in the images, on our right hand side,

AI powered recommendations will pop in,

pulling in the right color scheme as well as

if we pick a choice here, you'll even see

it's cropping the right part of that image

so you don't lose at all the message

you're trying to communicate with that visual.

And it's not just about pictures.

You can actually go ahead and get generated ideas

for different paragraphs and different bullets.

And again it keeps that same color formula going.

I'll grab one in here.

And another really nice benefit is if you lay out

a whole timeline in bullet form,

we can convert that for you to a great visual,

which makes it way easier for you to follow along

with your audience.

And then the last trick up our sleave here

in the designer world, is with these set of bullets

you can also go ahead and pull out

and create smart art based on keywords

that are in that little sentence.

So here you're seeing the action words,

I actually pulled out from the sentences you see,

download, join, share, talk.

And in just a matter of a few clicks,

we were able to create an awesome looking presentation

that started so simple.

And that'll be more engaging I hope for the audience.

- Right, that's going to save a lot of time

as you're creating new slides.

So the intelligence actually goes beyond

just saving time and in the content creation

side of things, it also can be used to apply

proactive security controls or information protection.

- Yeah, that's a good point.

So let's take a look at that here in Excel.

As I open my document up, it looks like things

are all blacked out and it might be a bit of a phishing scam

happening here to grab some of the credentials

and hurt my organization.

So as we pull it up here, it actually gets protected

through our safe link technology

and the intelligent security features

grabbed it and said, hey this looks a little bit malicious.

You might not want to mess around with this website.

So it stops me before anything goes wrong

and helps me out.

- So that's really part of advanced protection in Office 365

and that's what's in effect here, shielding you.

Now additional management controls also apply

to the Mac that you might be making for Windows

or for Mac or in another cases for mobile devices.

Things like data loss prevention.

We also recently announced a partnership with Jamf,

and this allows you to enforce conditional

access policies on the Mac.

And the way that works is it allows us to use

their assessment of system health,

whether that system is up to date and patched.

And that information is then passed in to Microsoft Intune

and Azure Active Directory to enforce

conditional access policies.

Now we recently also showed information classification

in the Azure Information Protection tools

that also work on the Mac, and you can check that out

on a previous show.

So that's really a great update in terms of the latest

things that we've done for Office on the Mac.

Thanks for joining us today, Scott,

and covering all the great updates.

- Yeah we covered a lot of ground today,

starting with that shared code base for the Office platforms

so you can deliver features faster than ever.

Taking a look at those Mac specific benefits

on the Touch Bar, and talking about how AI

can really help it be more productive.

So the best way to get everything we talked about today,

it's really with Office 365.

That's our always up to date subscription.

And if you want to learn more, just head on over

to office.com and everything you need

is right there to get started.

- And of course stay up to date with the latest news

at Microsoft, keep watching Microsoft Mechanics,

subscribe to our channels, and follow us on Twitter.

That's all the time we have for today's show.

Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time.

How to Steps for Getting Started at FTCC - Duration: 20:03.

We are here to help you succeed!

This presentation will assist you with your first steps for admission to FTCC.

We will cover the application process, assessment, program approval, and financial aid.

You will also be given instructions on student email, WebAdvisor and blackboard.

Let's get started!

With over 250 degrees, diplomas, and certificates, we offer life changing opportunities.

Whether you want to hone the skills you already have, change career paths, or get started

on your personal educational journey, we can make your dreams come true.

Let's talk about the steps to getting started at FTCC.

It looks easy enough, right?

Well, it is.

Just follow along with this presentation and you will be able to get started at FTCC sooner

than later!

Here are the most important steps.

Application Financial Aid

Transcripts Testing

Registration

The first two steps can be done out of order, but you should do them as close together as

possible.

Both are Free, so go ahead and do them soon!

In this presentation we are going to go over the steps for admissions.

Residency Admissions Application

Apply for Financial Aid Submit your Transcripts

Placement Testing Meet with an Admissions Counselor

Register for Classes Before you know it, you'll be ready to Graduate!

Through out this presentation, we will be adding little bits of information to make

these steps even easier.

We call them TRICKY TIPS and they can make your Trip through the admissions process that

much easier and less frustrating!

So keep your eyes open for these little helpers!

Complete your residency determination.

The Residency Determination System or RDS was established as the centralized service

for determining residency for students.

This services enables a student to use one residency determination for admission to all

public colleges and universities in NC.

This determinations proves NC residency for NC state scholarships and in-state tuition rates.

This system is linked to numerous North Carolina public service databases, such as the North

Carolina DMV, NC tax records, voter registration, vehicle registration and many others.

If you do not agree with the determination, you may appeal through the RDS site.

We are unable to change your residency on this campus.

Only the RDS has the authority to make residency decisions.

Here is your first tricky tip!

RDS is serious!

Please pay attention when you answer the questions.

If you leave out any information, or skip a question, you will be considered an out-of-state

student and you will be charged out-of-state tuition rates.

If RDS determines that you are an out of state student, you will not be eligible for NC Grants

or scholarships.

If you are under the age of 24 and not married and do not have children, have your parents'

information available when you complete your residency determination

Once you have completed the online interview, you will receive your initial residency classification

as in-state or out-of-state and your Residency Certification Number (RCN) Write it down,

you must have it to complete the FTCC application.

If you disagree with the residency determination, appeal it right there online

Please note that this is an initial determination and it may change.

If you are classified as an out of state student, and you appeal, it is your responsibility

to tell us at FTCC that your classification has changed.

No one at FTCC can take your appeal or change the residency determination set by RDS

If you are a military dependent or Veteran and RDS says you are out-of-state, please

visit us in the Tony Rand Student Center Room 3, or email admissions@faytechcc.edu.

We have forms for you to fill out that may qualify you to receive in-state tuition rates.

After you have completed your RDS interview, you are ready to complete the online application.

You can find it on the home page.

Scroll down until you see the three boxes.

Click on the first box then go to "apply now"

Here is the first page for the application, either create an account, or log on to an

existing account.

Do not worry if you have forgotten your user name or password, there is a link to help

you with that!

Tricky Tip #3.

We are going to send you a letter through the post with information regarding your student

ID, email (you get one right away) and WebAdvisor log on (good for tracking your financial aid

award), please make sure your address is correct.

Also, even though it says your SSN is optional, it is NOT.

We cannot process your application without it, this is a very secure site!

Your information is safe here.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

If you want to do this with some assistance, we are available to help you at the Main Campus

in the Tony Rand Student Center Room 3, The Spring Lake Campus, and The Fort Bragg Office

in the BTEC building on the corner of Knox and Randolph

Let's get started with some financial aid basics

We have different types of aid for you at FTCC

Each student's situation is different, so please pay attention when you are completing

your FAFSA.

Here are some more Tricky Tips

Remember at the beginning when I told you to make sure your address is right on your

CFNC application because we would be mailing you a letter with your student ID and email

log on information?

Well, that is because we will be sending you information regarding your financial aid to

your new student email account.

We do that pretty much immediately.

Financial aid years start in the Fall.

Always use the Fall year to apply for aid even if you are attending the spring or summer

after.

Financial aid years are like dog years, they are different!

Financial aid years are academic years and they always start in the Fall.

Use the previous fall to apply for aid even if you are attending the spring or summer

after that fall start.

Ex: Fall 2018 apply for 18/19 year Ex: Spring or Summer 2018 you are going to

go back to the previous fall and apply for 17/18 school year

This is on the Financial Aid Home page.

It lists all sorts of information to help you, to begin your FAFSA, click on this link

and it will take you to the following screen.

Here you go!

When you create an account, you will set it up using a PIN number.

Please remember it.

We cannot help you reset it and we cannot help you change it at FTCC.

You will need to provide us with your official Academic Transcripts\'85 those include your

high school, GED, Adult High School, and College transcripts.

They must be official, meaning they come to us from the institution either in a sealed

school envelope, or via an online transcript service, such as Parchment.

In Admissions, we need your high school transcript/GED or Adult High School Diploma in order to put

you in a program so you can receive financial aid.

That is very important!

Even if you complete all the steps perfectly, not providing us with your high school transcript

can be disastrous.

Think about all the work you put into completing RDS, the CFNC application and then FAFSA!

That may have taken you about an hour, but contacting your high school is quick and easy,

just Google them and give them a call.

They do this all the time!

Either they have your transcripts, or they have sent them to the local board of education,

either way, getting them is pretty easy.

Even if you went to high school a long time ago, most likely, there is a record of your

attendance and completion.

If you have an Associate's Degree or higher, you may not need to give us your high school

transcript unless you are seeking entry into a specialized program or want VA benefits.

More information on that to follow.

College transcripts are only required for general admissions if, one, you wish to receive

credit for the classes you took and to possibly waive placement testing.

But...and here is your Tricky Tip

If you are seeking VA, VOC Rehab, or any GI Bill benefits, we will need all of your transcripts

which means your high school as well as each and every college you attended.

Also, if you are seeking entry into a health program, you must submit your college transcripts,

and you must provide your high school transcripts.

When people hear the word "assessment" they tend to panic.

Please do not.

You may not even need to test (more information on that later), there is no pass/fail for

this, we just want to make sure you are taking the right classes for your current ability.

It would be just as bad to be in a class you are not prepared for as it would be to be

in a class where you are bored because you know all the answers.

Also, we understand that it may have been a while since you were in school, and the

brain is a muscle, if you do not use it, you lose it.

So, we encourage you to stretch that muscle a little and prepare for the test.

We have material for that!

You may not even have to worry about testing.

The next slide will show you where to go to see if you meet the ACT, SAT, and high school

requirements to waive testing.

Tricky Tip!

If you are entering a program that does not require math or English, you also won't need

to test!

Please contact the assessment and placement office for more information and to schedule

to take the assessment and to get information on how and where you can prepare before you

take the test!

You may be ready for registration, but are you?

Here at FTCC we have over 250 degrees, diplomas, and certificates.

We have something for everyone.

Go to the Career Coach and take a look at the different careers available, this includes

where the best place is to do that job, and even current pay rates!

Please use the tools we have to choose your best fit!

The advisors in the health programs want to see you right away!

They do your first semester registration to make sure you are following the steps to complete

the competitive process for entry!

Once you have completed the admissions steps, contact them to arrange a meeting to get started

on your path!

For Degree programs, other than health and Cosmetology,

Admissions Counselors are here to help you get ready to start your journey.

They will discuss your options and make sure you are headed in the right direction.

Once you have registered for your first semester, you will be directed to your program area

where you will meet your Academic Advisor.

Your Academic Advisor is a faculty member in your chosen degree program.

They know all the ins and outs of your program and are the best resource for you to reach

your graduation and employment goals.

The next few slides will give you important information about the wonderful opportunities

we have for everyone at FTCC.

Let's talk about the student learning center\

The Library Military support services

Veterans Assistance Disability support services

The student learning center is staffed with faculty who are more than happy to help you

prepare to take or re-take the entrance assessment and to lend you a hand in understanding your

class assignments in most disciplines!

Our Library is an excellent place to go to get help with research for your papers as

well as find a quiet place to study.

At FTCC, we are committed to the equality of educational opportunities for all students.

Please stop in and meet Mr. Groover.

He is available to assist with ADA compliant accommodations.

We thank you for your service to our country and at FTCC we have taken the time to evaluate

your training and craft degree programs that can get you to your goals faster.

Whether you are retired and transitioning to civilian life, or active duty and seeking

to earn a degree, diploma, or certificate to enhance your military career, we are able

to help.

Please visit our office at the Fort Bragg Training and Education Center on the corner

of Knox and Randolph, or come to the Military Support Office on the Main Campus in the Tony

Rand Student Center Room 111 to meet with someone who can guide you toward the best

course of action for you.

Now let's move on and learn about some very important parts of your FTCC Experience!

Earlier in the presentation, you were told you would be getting a letter in the mail

with your user Id and instructions on how to get on WebAdvisor, but if you have completed

your CFNC application and do not want to wait, you may be able to get your user ID before

you get your letter.

As long as it has been at least 24 business hour since you have completed your application,

and you put your Social Security number on your application.

You may be able to follow these instructions and get your log on faster!

Find the WebAdvisor link on our page and click on faculty \'96 even if you are not faculty

After you have clicked on faculty, this is the next screen you will see.

Click on the blue link "What's my User ID"

This is the next screen you see after you click the blue link from the previous slide.

Fill in the information that is asked and hit Submit

It will show up for you here and you are now ready to get started with the next part.

Write it down, you will need it later!

From the Home Page click on"I'm Looking For" Then on the drop down, click Current Student

Resources

This is the next screen, click on Student Email

Enter your username on this line.

Wait!

I'm not taking online classes, I don't need Blackboard

Here is an important Tricky Tip Most of our classes at FTCC have some online

work.

So even if you are taking face-to-face classes you should log on to Blackboard the first

day of the term and see if you need to do some kind of an introduction.

This is especially important for short 4 or 8 week classes because you will need to show

that you are in attendance!

Use the same log on and password you have used for your WebAdvisor and Email!

Classes are not available to students until the first day of the term, which is the same

day you should log on: coincidence?

I don't think so!

Visit us at any of our three locations, we are here to help!

Thank you for Choosing FTCC!
