Microsoft: Classrooms need latest technology

ALL students and teachers need access to the latest technology in class if young people are to meet the challenges of the 21st century, the head of software giant Microsoft Ireland has warned.

Paul Rellis said Microsoft has a simple vision of students, teachers and parents being developed to realise their potential any time, on any device through the power of technology.

“In real terms, this vision translates into providing increased levels of access for students and teachers to technical devices that they can use in the classroom and in their homes,” he said.
