Innovation roadshow powers tech-driven classrooms

Globe Business held earlier this year an innovation-packed roadshow to ensure that all schools across the country get access to the latest digital tools and equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the 21st century.

From May to July, the E-skwela Technology Roadshow made its way to Pangasinan, Laguna, Iloilo, Roxas, the Greater Manila Area and Davao, providing educators the unique opportunity to connect with industry experts, experience digital solutions firsthand and empower their classrooms with hybrid education.

"We embarked on this exciting journey to deliver digital solutions to make sure that no school or student is left behind in this digital age," said KD Dizon, head of Globe Business. "Through this roadshow, we paved the way for academic institutions to tap into the latest frontiers of digital education para tuloy ang edukasyon, tuloy ang pag-asa" (for education and hope to continue).

One of the roadshow's main features was the opportunity for participants to engage in discussions with experts, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of how technology can reshape the future of their classrooms.

Engr. Ericson Dimaunahan, director of Mapua University's Center for Teaching and Learning-Digital, emphasized the importance of cultivating future-ready schools amid the evolving educational landscape, and matching these with the most suitable technologies for the classroom.

"Changing the way we educate students could mean enabling learning beyond classrooms with the help of new technology. These changes aim to improve overall student outcomes and equip them to be future-ready," Dimaunahan said.

Jim Tuscano, founder of the EmpowerEd Advocacy Program, also underscored the necessity of technology in preparing students for the real world.

"The workforce now requires digital literacy. Therefore, equipping students with digital skills and knowledge will prepare them for their future jobs," he said.

To showcase how educational institutions could drive innovation into the classrooms and elevate student engagement, Globe Business introduced a comprehensive suite of digital solutions and services fit for their needs.

The Wela School System, for instance, empowers educational institutions to efficiently manage their operational and administrative tasks while offering real-time monitoring of daily school activities through a single platform.
