Advice for schools on how to secure DfE funding for a Microsoft Office 365 Digital Education platform
The DfE have recently announced additional funding to assist schools in moving to a remote learning solution during the COVID-19 lockdown. The benefits to your school of a secure Digital Education Platform will last long after the lockdown, so we would encourage you to take the opportunity to enhance remote learning and collaboration now and for the future.
Learn moreSchools and Academies, like almost all organisations, are modernising through digital services, cloud offerings and greater connectivity out to the internet.
This digital agenda is introducing IT complexity, challenging security horizons and unknown cyber risks. Protecting the data stored in your school, academy or college has always been important, but now it is more important than ever. But doing this can become complex and very confusing. This is where Phoenix, SWGfL and Trend Micro can help.
Trend Micro security services apply the most advanced controls, including machine learning and behavioural analysis, into an all-in-one cloud hosted security platform, offering a complete solution to protect your users, their devices, emails and web, removing administrative complexity and freeing up resource-constrained teams to focus on delivering IT innovation.
For many years now, Adobe have evolved and grown within the education sector providing valuable software to help students grow and build on critical skills that can enable their future success.
As we increasingly adopt technology in everyday life, the skills that employers are looking for are constantly changing. The employers of the future will be looking beyond just digital literacy skills, they will want their employees to be competent at complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity – creative soft skills. These skills can be often hard to incorporate into the curriculum, but with the use of innovative applications and a creative approach, educators can start to instill these skill sets in their students – preparing them for their futures.
