(P) American International School of Bucharest (AISB) partners with Microsoft to lead the next revolution in transforming student learning
We are riding a wave of change where technology is rapidly reinventing and reimagining how students learn. The American International School of Bucharest (AISB) believes technology has the promise, potential, and power to transform how we teach and learn in preparing students for future readiness. Learning can no longer be confined within the four walls of a classroom. We believe technology is a very important catalyst in reshaping and promoting positive educative experiences for our students. As a result, we have partnered with Microsoft to provide both students and teachers a way to bridge the gap between our current and desired future through the smart application of technology in creating the stage for transformation and rethinking of learning based on innovation and invention. Consequently, AISB was recognized by Microsoft as a Global Showcase School for its excellence in reimagining its learning environment to deliver more personalized education, using productivity, mobile, cloud and other technologies to better prepare students for success in the future workplace.
Our vision for technology in learning is encapsulated through 3 “E” words - Educate, Engage and Empower. While we are focused as a school on improvement and transformation, our aspiration is to also use technology in creating a learning community where students are engaged in the process of learning how to learn. We are committed to building a learning environment framed through a student-centred approach based on learner voice and choice to personalize, differentiate and individualize learning. We hope to achieve this lofty ambition through the smart application of technology grounded on our synergetic relationship and symbiotic partnership with industry leaders. Microsoft, as a partner shares our vision to educate, engage and empower students through leading by technology, productive collaborations, and exciting dialogic interactions. We pride ourselves as a progressive trailblazer among educational institutions. As a frontrunner and positive social change agent AISB values Microsoft’s commitment in supporting our vision and aspiration by addressing our technological needs and challenges in a timely and responsive manner.
In a nutshell, AISB’s goal is to ensure our students and teachers have the best and the most conducive environment and opportunities to support teaching and learning for future preparedness, through the affordance of seamless technology. We are proud to testify that through our partnership with Microsoft we are closer to achieving this goal, but the sky is the limit as we forge ahead together.
AISB and Microsoft...partners aspiring to transform student learning.
