We can’t wait to meet you in person at ISTELive 24 in Denver, June 23-26, 2024! Join us for an exciting week of live demos, theater sessions, PD workshops, and so much more.
As you think about the next school year, ISTELive is a great opportunity to dive into our Learning Accelerators, a new category of AI-enhanced learning tools included in Microsoft 365 at no cost for Education. These tools help streamline the creation, review, and analysis of practice assignments while providing students real-time coaching to help them catch up, keep up, and get ahead.
Learning Accelerators are designed to help educators like you unlock the full potential of every student. These tools support foundational and future-ready skills, allowing educators to give individual students more opportunities to learn, practice, and receive targeted coaching instantly in an inclusive environment to support ongoing improvement. They also seamlessly integrate with your favorite tools like Microsoft Teams and your LMS.
No matter what area or subject you teach, we’ve got the tools to support you. From reading, math, SEL and well-being, to public speaking and information literacy, our Learning Accelerators have you covered.
Be sure to stop by Microsoft booth #1300 to get a live demo and talk with experts about how you can integrate these tools into your curriculum. Explore the session topics in advance to plan your week and make the most out of your ISTELive 2024 experience.
