The role of familiarity in predicting the ability of technology to improve learning outcomes

We often spend so much time focused on getting technology into classrooms, and devices in the hands of students, that we fail to focus on ensuring that these technologies are actually being applied in a meaningful way.

Teachers are already overburdened with an abundance of requirements and a lack of time to meet them. So, instead of simply demanding they figure out the technology and implementation on their own time, we believe in setting them up for success from the start.

By providing an interface that teachers are already familiar with, like Windows 10, we can slash their learning curve, reduce frustration, and get tech into curriculums faster. Contact us to learn more.

Preparing the class of 2030

Social and emotional skills are far more predictive of a student’s achievement than home environment or demographics. That’s because employers are looking for people who are able to think on their feet and build strong relationships.

Technology has the incredible potential to level the playing field and make these important skill developments accessible to all students, by giving teachers the ability to combine emotional and cognitive skills with academic learning.

At Virtual Office Solutions, we want to help your school use technology to arm all student with the skills they’ll need in the workplace.

Customer Story: School gets future ready with Windows 10 devices, Office 365, and STEM curriculum

No one person can be an expert on everything, and this applies to teachers as well. When it comes to STEM areas where many are unfamiliar, technology can give them access to tools and other educators who can help them confidently expand their STEM curriculums.

Similarly, students can’t be expected to resonate with every subject taught. More STEM in the classroom offers exposure to a wider variety of subjects and activities, increasing the likelihood that students find a subject they’re passionate about.

At Virtual Office Solutions, we want to help your teachers bring exciting new content into their classrooms.
