Remote teaching: Lenovo to help schools make transition

Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager Michael Ngan said the webinars will help schools overcome the challenges of shifting to remote teaching.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only changed the workplace, but also the classroom. To help schools make the transition to remote teaching, Lenovo, in collaboration with Microsoft, is sponsoring two presentations in the ongoing EduTech Live Webinar series.

“Education is one of the sectors that have welcomed the transformation brought about by social distancing and other precautionary health measures,” said Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager Michael Ngan in a press statement.

“Driven by our vision of ‘Smarter Technology for All’, Lenovo has collaborated with educators to create customer-centric innovative solutions catered to students. These solutions will enhance students’ digital literacy by providing them with optimal learning experiences that will prepare them to excel in the digitalizing world,” he said.

Going virtual

EduTech is an annual education conference. Experts gather to discuss the use of technology and innovation to advance quality education in the Philippines. EduTech Webinars are free and open for all upon registration. They can be streamed via EduTech’s official website and will then be available on demand via Lenovo’s official Facebook page.

Lenovo’s first sponsored webinar, “Going Virtual: Shifting to Remote Teaching and Learning”, will stream on May 28 at 11 AM.

The webinar will identify the challenges faced by schools as they constantly keep up with digitalization. It aims to introduce new ways of maximizing technology as an educational tool to be able to deliver efficient teaching methods online during the quarantine. It will also discuss what the “new norm” will most likely be for students and teachers, at least up to early next year.
