MCC's Technology Support Services is now using Twitter as a method of communication.

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a service that allows people to make short (140 character) announcements. Interested parties can "follow" individuals and receive these updates on the web, over instant messaging, or via text messaging on their cell phones.

We intend to use this service to make announcements about system outages, closures, and interesting technology related news.

So, follow us at http://twitter.com/mcctss!

Many new computers are coming with Office 2007 pre-installed. As a result, students may be using the newer version of MS Office. Some instructors may run into problems with students submitting work in the newer Office 2007 format.

If you don't already have Office 2007, Click Here for some suggestions on how to work with Office 2007 documents.

We are currently deploying Office 2007 on new computer installs for faculty and staff. We are also "pushing" Office 2007 out to existing computers on campus.

Faculty and staff may also request that Office 2007 be installed on their office computers. The interface to Office 2007 is quite different from previous versions, so expect a learning curve.

Please Contact Us if you have questions about this.
