Education
In this episode we touch on learning tool innovations such as the accessibility features of Immersive Reader, which helps read content (including math equations!) back to the student, and new announcements on affordable devices that allow digital inking even with a standard No. 2 graphite pencil. The discussion on Microsoft Teams focuses on how, as a digital hub, it pulls together all conversations, content and applications related to a specific subject, so that everything related to a subject can be found in one place. It also touches on how Teams can be a tool to enable flipped learning, allowing valuable classroom time to be spent on discussions rather than going through the learning materials.
