Business Wire
Alaska Communications (NASDAQ:ALSK) recently renewed its status
as Alaska’s only Microsoft Gold Education Partner, continuing its
commitment to serving students and teachers across Alaska.
The partnership creates an opportunity for Alaska’s teachers and
students to bring the latest technology into classrooms with Alaska
Communications, the state’s leading broadband and IT solutions
provider.
“We can provide Microsoft Classroom, Skype for Business,
Microsoft Forms and Microsoft Education to schools. These are
products that make educating more efficient and engaging for
students and teachers,” Alaska Communications Vice President of
Managed Services Chris Reaburn said.
Microsoft Classroom enables collaboration from anywhere in the
world, connecting students and teachers in new ways. Students can
deliver homework, receive content from their teachers, and complete
projects in group environments digitally, no matter their
location.
“Imagine Academy is another product with great potential,”
Reaburn said. “It allows students to learn in-depth about Microsoft
products, to the point where they can graduate high school with
Microsoft certifications. That is a major step toward preparing
them for the real-world work environment.”
Imagine Academy even uses the popular video game Minecraft to
teach basic coding. This is just one of the tools Microsoft has
developed as a way of merging students’ interests with
education.
The partnership was earned based on customer references and
specific competencies. Alaska Communications is the only Microsoft
Gold Education Partner in the state, and has access to Microsoft’s
solution architects to help develop innovative solutions to meet
education needs.
