Event Overview

 New developments, communications, mobility, and cloud services are enabling educational institutions to communicate and collaborate both inside and out of classrooms in ways that were previously not possible. Knowing that your time is valuable, Microsoft has developed a true to life, hands-on, interactive session – Microsoft Immersion Experience which allows you to test drive Windows 10 and Office 365.

An immersion experience is a facilitated hands-on session to “Experience the Possible” by test-driving Microsoft devices and solutions through simulated, everyday education scenarios. The content is specifically designed to be a hands-on in a small audience (up to 10 participants). The scenarios showcase collaboration between students, faculty and staff and provide for deep examples within a classroom and/or staff setting. There is no set agenda. Each immersive session is unique, as it is based on the interest of the session’s participants. Immersion sessions are 3 hours in length.

What you will experience:
• Design engaging lesson plans and effectively connect with students, teachers and administrators.
• Learn about collaborative and social features that facilitate communication, including the ability to follow people and hashtags. Experience sharing and coauthoring abilities that make collaboration easier than ever.
• Discover how students and faculty can remain productive and extend collaboration and learning outside the classroom.
• Quickly analyze data without having to involve a data analysts and explore the powerful analytics capabilities in Excel.
• This session is great way for administrators and educators to better understand the technology solutions they have access to, which can lead to process improvements and improved classroom environments.

Two sessions are being offered on December 3rd.
Morning session 9am - 12pm
Afternoon session 1pm - 4pm

The class is limited to 10 participants. Laptops are provided. Your registration includes lunch.
