From Simon Elliot
"I have moved all of our students to Pages, Numbers and KeyNote but also have OpenOffice3 and Microsoft Office 2008 on every computer (Via the Microsoft Schools' Agreement) for choice. We have found our coursework marks go up using iLive/iWork for GCSE ICT because the quality of output is so much higher and the pupils can achieve more in a given time."
From Steff Hassle
"I don't know if the new Office is any better than Office 2003 (which
is what we have installed), but we have lots of problems with Word
freezing, crashing etc. I now advise all our students to use Pages
when word processing."
