iWork ’08 in Education

The ultimate productivity suite for the classroom

iWork ’08 provides three powerful tools for the classroom: Pages, a streamlined word processor that’s perfect for everything from history reports to newsletters to writing stories; Keynote, Apple’s industry-leading application for creating cinema-quality presentations; and Numbers, an innovative new spreadsheet for calculating and organizing data.

iWork ’08 applications share the same toolbar, format bars, and many other interface elements, minimizing learning time. One example is the Media Browser, which gives students direct access to their photo, movie, and audio libraries. And the included Apple-designed templates offer students a head start at producing professional-looking projects.

Write, Analyze, Publish, Present

iWork gives students exciting and easy-to-use tools to produce and share their work in any subject area. Whether they’re writing a poem, producing a research paper, analyzing and presenting lab results, or creating a civil rights presentation, students will be proud to share their high-quality, beautifully designed work.

Invaluable aid for educators

Educators rely on iWork too — to create presentations with voiceover narration, compute students’ grades and track their progress, communicate with students’ families with a class newsletter, and much more.

And because iWork has been designed for compatibility with other applications and formats, teachers won’t have to spend time recreating documents. iWork ’08 can import Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and AppleWorks word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet files, and can export documents in Microsoft Office file formats or PDFs for easy sharing.
