Creates seamless experience with Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Your Phone & the Web We’re crazy excited to share this month’s app updates, and they are huge! There’s a lot of new info to absorb, so let us know what you think and if you have any questions. 1. Outlook Only – Pin your LawToolBox Add-in Open. When you open your LawToolBox Add-in in Outlook, you will see a new “pin” in the upper right-hand corner of our add-in. This is a brand-new feature that we are one of the first companies to incorporate that allows users to pin open the LawToolBox add-in then navigate between emails without having to close and re-open the add-in saving you oodles of time! 2. Teams App Only – Instantly Create a Microsoft Team from any LawToolBox matter. Maybe you’re tracking 50 matters in LawToolBox, but you only have a few that are in active litigation? When a matter heats up and you want to start actively collaborating on it in a Microsoft Team dedicated to that matter, just navigate to LawToolBox matter, click on the action menu, and then click “Create Team”. In a matter of seconds you will be up and running with a fully provisioned Microsoft Team (that includes all the deadlines documents and notes you were managing in Outlook, SharePoint and One Note). 3. Lots of New Features in the Admin Portal. You’ll see lots of new switches where your firm admin can turn on and off features across your whole firm, or user-by-user. For example, your firm admin can hide the links to the “files” if you use a different document...

This week is “Computer Science Education Week” and is being celebrated around the world: Almost 200 governments, school districts, and nonprofits pledge to expand CS for millions of students, globally. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania, all announced plans to expand CS in schools, joined by 76 U.S. school districts and 80 nonprofits.

Representatives from LawToolBox, Microsoft Crayon teamed up with IAMCP Women In Technology to help celebrate “Computer Science Education Week” by sponsoring an #HourOfCode” program at one of our local schools, Southmoor Elementary in Denver, Colorado. See, https://hourofcode.com/us/learn. “Hour of Code” is a federal initiative started under the Obama Administration to encourage and promote an understanding and appreciation for building technology instead of just using it, and to encourage students to learn how to code. See, Obama video. It’s EASY to organize your own “Hour of Code”! See, https://hourofcode.com/us/how-to. The idea first was first suggested by Jonathon Friebert from the Microsoft Voices for Innovation (twitter: @vfiorg), so we took the idea and raised it at a meeting of the local chapter of @WIT_Denver (Women in Technology), which was just recently launched by Lesly Kenney from Crayon (twitter: @LeslyKenney), Stephanie Martin from Microsoft (twitter: @MeetStepMa), and our own Carol Lynn Grow from LawToolBox (twitter: @CarolLynnGrow). Once a few highly motivated people decided to take action everything came together very quickly! At first the idea was to limit the #HourOfCode to a single classroom, given our...
