MSN - Quality Messaging, Live!

MSN (originally The Microsoft Network) is a collection of Internet sites and services provided by Microsoft. The Microsoft Network debuted as an online service and Internet service provider on August 24, 1995, to coincide with the release of the Windows 95 operating system.

The range of services offered by MSN has changed since its initial release in 1995. MSN was once a simple online service for Windows 95, an early experiment at interactive multimedia content on the Internet, and one of the most popular dial-up Internet service providers.

Microsoft used the MSN brand name to promote numerous popular web-based services in the late 1990s, most notably Hotmail and Messenger, before reorganizing many of them in 2005 under another brand name, Windows Live. MSN's Internet portal, MSN.com, is currently the 11th most visited domain name on the Internet.

Upgrade with Engrade!

Engrade is a free web-based online management for classroom, including the gradebook, assignment calendar, and attendance book. It helps the teachers to manage the database of students, ranging from grades to record of attendance to the assignment calender. Teachers are able to sign up for this service. Students can also sign up for this service, only if they get the access code from their teachers who are participating to use this service. It also allows the teachers to have secure communication with students and parents. Students also can use this to have access to their grades in real-time from anywhere at any time.

The service, brought by Engrade, is truly free and will remain free. We are able to offer Engrade free of charge because we have been fortunate in past business, allowing us to volunteer our talents and to pay for expenses out of our own pockets. In the future, we may add optional premium services (for example, a service to send student transcripts to colleges) to help pay for costs, but we will always keep the main features free


This tool is free of charge, which will be a great supplement to the classroom management for teachers. Teachers would have a peaceful mind, knowing that they have the database of attendance book, gradebook, and assignment calender online. Students also are able to access their grades through Engrade, so they would know their grades on specific assignments, quizzes, or projects immediately after the teacher input their grades online. Also, they are able to look up for upcoming homework on assignment calender, develop their own public websites where students and parents can view on who they are, and send the messages to the teacher to ask questions outside of the classroom.

Total File Protection with Virus Total

 

VirusTotal.com is a website that provides free file checking. It uses up to 43 different antivirus products. Files can be sent either through the website or via email. The variety of products used by the website allows a user to check for viruses that the user's own antivirus solution may have missed, or to verify against false positives. The drawback to using VirusTotal is that it can only scan submitted files, and cannot perform system-wide scans on the user's computer. Another restriction users would face is that the size of the file uploaded or emailed to virustotal for scanning is up to 20 MB. VirusTotal is developed by Hispasec Sistemas.
