Acer for Education renews the Innovative School program for 2020, specifically designed to support schools that adopt Acer technologies in the use of new educational environments in which to offer new generations the tools they need to develop the skills required in the XNUMXst century .
Technology is an enabling factor. It breaks down barriers as it helps teachers develop new engaging and inclusive learning experiences. That's why more and more schools that have integrated technology into their teaching and learning approach are discovering how to help students improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, learn anytime, anywhere, and improve academic achievement.
Acer for Education's Innovative School Program is a tribute to those schools that have embraced technology as a means of providing students with engaging new ways to learn the skills they will need to be successful in school and in life.
The program is aimed at all EMEA schools that are embarking on the path of digital transformation. Whether they are just starting out or advanced, these schools are committed to helping every student reach their potential and follow their dreams, through innovation and technology.
Schools enrolled in the Innovative School program can benefit from numerous advantages:
- Schools can participate in webinars on a variety of topics to stay up to date with the latest trends and tools. Topics include mini-training on Windows and Chrome platforms and related apps.
- Innovative Schools can share their experiences on the Acer for Education blog and become a source of inspiration. In addition, schools receive a monthly newsletter packed with updates on technology content, partner news, demo programs and other initiatives.
- Each Innovative School can request two demo devices per year, so that teachers and students keep up with the latest technological innovations and can discover how to use them to achieve more.
- Teachers working in Innovative Schools are invited to participate in the Teachers Advisory Council, where they can meet colleagues, listen to education experts and participate in training sessions.
Innovative Schools are also encouraged to participate in the Acer Humanity project, a new initiative from the company to give importance to communities and the environment. By participating in this project, Innovative Schools can encourage students to develop a positive community-centered approach and experience the importance of engaging in “green” activities. Through ecological activities, Innovative Schools have the opportunity to support the learning path of a Charitable Organization in the educational field of their choice.
