Microsoft Tech TalksMedia Literacy lessons come to life when students are given a rare opportunity to explore the latest digital technology in a playful, creative way. The program also highlights important lessons of online safety and privacy in a relatable and engaging setting. 

Students are given the freedom to explore interactive storytelling with the aid of Microsoft’s in-store theatre, various technologies and interactive stations. It’s high-speed learning in a world where educational technology is constantly evolving. 

Brought to you by the Microsoft team, this field trip currently takes place only in Canada

Digital literacy is set to make an impact in a big way in the next few years. This past February, it was announced that Adobe and Prezi are set to donate $400 million dollars to the effort of improving technology education in America.

The mission of the Think Global. Eat Local. field trip is sharing with students just how their actions and food choices shape their world for the better. Simple steps for “going green” and what exactly that means are the (whole-grain) bread and butter of this simply nutritious hands-on adventure.

“Green” living is all about eating well, but it’s also about giving back. Exploring recycling, sourcing from local farmers and organic food jump starts a connection between students and the impact they have on their community.

Now that we’ve shared what’s coming this spring, we turn to you for inspiration. What sort of field trip would inspire your students? Teachers, community members — we want to know how we can create new programs benefiting you.
