Weston College is thrilled to announce, that for the 5th year running, we have been selected as a Microsoft Showcase College – one of just 14 in the UK!
The status is awarded to colleges that demonstrate ‘a commitment to education transformation and empowering educators and students to innovate and exercise a growth mindset.’
As a ‘Microsoft Showcase College’, the college will continue to benefit from the IT giant’s support in the personalised learning of students. This includes the use of one-to-one devices and Office 365 Education, Microsoft Teams, OneNote, Skype, Minecraft and more.
Microsoft will also share ideas to enhance staff development, student employability and innovation, as well as providing the College with opportunities to host Microsoft-branded educational events.
Our Digital Learning team has been working tirelessly to enable this to work from behind the scenes, so without their incredible work, this wouldn’t have been possible - thank you to everyone involved!
Jon Hofgartner, Assistant Principal for Digital Technologies, commented: “Being recognised as a Microsoft Showcase College status for a fifth-year running is a fantastic achievement for our learners, our staff and the college. This valuable partnership with Microsoft reflects our shared goals in developing future ready skills for the rapidly changing digital landscape and economy.”
He continued, “Working with Microsoft, we can bring new technologies to extend our outstanding education and training. For example, in 2022/23 Weston College will be introducing virtual labs for Computing students to develop higher-level digital skills and new hybrid classrooms that enable learners to attend both online and on-campus. New certification opportunities also mean staff and learners can get certified as they progress their own digital skills.
It looks like another exciting year ahead as a Showcase College, with digital technologies enabling even more opportunities for inclusion and innovation.”
