Microsoft has been hearing incredible stories these past two months about educators who, in very different global settings, are leveraging technology and their own expertise to drive a successful transition to remote learning while maintaining close ties to students from afar. In some instances, educators and students are working to connect while dealing with limited bandwidth and varying degrees of access to devices and the internet.
Microsoft is assembling educators, partners, and students to host Global Learning Week, a free, event on Facebook. It will be available both as live sessions each day as well as through on-demand segments available to educators to watch as they’re able.
Each day at 11:00 AM Central Time, Microsoft will host livestreamed episodes connecting educators to its team of amazing hosts covering a wide range of inspiring topics. Each episode will be full of educator and student success stories, helpful tips, and ideas for engaging lessons that can be delivered in the classroom or virtually. Information on some exciting product announcements will be shared as well.
