'It's Time to Build Skills for Tomorrow' was the theme of the evening
at the Microsoft Education Solution Workshop co-hosted by Tech One
Global and Microsoft held on August 29, at the Taj Samudra Hotel,
Colombo. The audience of the Microsoft Education Solution Workshop
consisted of representatives from over 50 top Education Institutions in
Sri Lanka and the event was inaugurated by Yashinka Jayasinghe,
Educations Programme Manager for Microsoft Sri Lanka and Jason Trump,
Education Director - Asia Pacific Region. Trump began his session by
taking the audience through a journey on how Microsoft has
revolutionized the "learning experience" in the 21st century sharing
exciting insights and statistics using real-life case studies from
across the world. The audience was captivated with the possibilities
presented to them in how they can use the latest technology to transform
their own institutions and their student's learning experience.
The main focus of the evening was on Office 365 for Education. Trump
introduced Office 365 for Education by presenting how students and
teachers could communicate, create and share in the Cloud making
learning so much more simple and exciting than one could imagine. One of
the main highlights of the event was the disclosure of the free academic
options in Office 365 specifically designed to cater to the specific
needs in the education sector. The Office 365 offering for Education
delivers the power of cloud productivity to educational institutions of
all sizes, helping to save time, money and more importantly free up
valued resources.
