Introduction

As of February 18, 2019 the Microsoft Imagine program has been redesigned and re-branded as Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching.  Microsoft implemented this change to better align with other technologies and improve access to software and additional services.  As part of the redesign, the existing Microsoft Imagine website no longer provides access to Microsoft products.  The steps below will show you how to log into the new Microsoft Azure Dev Tools for Teaching site.
