1,700 Microsoft Education Ambassadors nationwide equipped with essential digital skills to enable remote learning for Filipino students
Microsoft recently partnered with Buncee, a global E-learning tool provider, to upskill 1,700 educators across the Philippines as part of Microsoft’s Education Ambassadors (MEA) Program.
With the reopening of schools still on hold due to COVID-19, bolstering the digital skills of educators and enabling hybrid learning methods has never been more critical. The Microsoft Education Ambassadors Program aims to ensure that educators and students have the necessary tools and knowledge to adapt to this challenging situation.
Used in over 188 countries around the world, Buncee is an all-in-one digital multimedia solution designed to help educators give personalized learning and help their students achieve learning goals with ease. “Teachers will find that Buncee has been very successful in empowering them to make learning fun, especially for students with learning differences.”
Microsoft’s Education Ambassadors Program for the Philippines seeks to empower schools, educators, and students to be future-ready through the proper use of technology.
Huge acceptance from upskilling of Microsoft Education Ambassadors in the Philippines
Participants from the education sector, non-government organizations, and private companies were trained in Buncee’s dynamic and easy-to-use multimedia interface, allowing them to create more engaging and enriching learning experiences—whether online or in-person.
Topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Microsoft Power Platform, Diversity & Inclusion, and Accessibility were covered in the training to encourage a deeper use of technology and make it relevant to today’s various demands.
“The partnership between Microsoft and Buncee will help us teach more effectively and even encourage our students to see fun in learning,” said one of the Microsoft Education Ambassadors who attended the session.
During a specific session called “Build MEA Up,” Microsoft Education Ambassadors were taught how to maximize Buncee’s easy-to-use creation functionalities as well as classroom-ready template activities for more fun and creative learning.
“I’d love to collaborate more and more to engage our teachers and students on the power of Buncee and Microsoft, whether that’s by collaboratively hosting virtual training or provisioning resources for classrooms, etc.
