Shaping the Future of Technology Enhanced Education with Bow Valley College
Microsoft was founded on the belief that people can do remarkable things when technology is in reach. One of the places where that’s most apparent is in schools and classrooms, where technology acts as a powerful connector between teachers and students with diverse learning styles and needs. Today, as we enter an incredible time of digital transformation, schools and teachers are being challenged to integrate technology into their classrooms more than ever. Classrooms are becoming spaces to engage meaningfully with the topics that will prepare students for the workforce of the future, like AI, data analytics and cybersecurity. Post-secondary institutions like Bow Valley College are reimagining the role of technology in the classroom for this new generation of students.
