As of March 26, 2009 the DreamSpark program was expanded to include High School students around the globe in addition to College and University Students.  Hear that groovy High School readers!  Microsoft isn’t leaving you out in the cold this time! Free software is only the beginning of the DreamSpark program. Free training is also available.  I encourage students, parents and educators / administrators to visit the site and review all the details around the Free Software and Free Training for Microsoft Certifications as well as how-to get your school involved in the free programs.   1 – Program Website – Microsoft DreamSpark 2 – Microsoft Free Training – Microsoft IT Academy Student Pass 3 – Microsoft Certification Details – Microsoft Certifified Technology Specialist   Even more benefits and programs can also be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/student/. Be sure to grab a cup of coffee first however because there’s a lot of content to say the least!
