Great technology is only as impactful as the educators who put it to work. 💡

Over the past two days, 18 of our awesome staff members gathered at EEMS for an intensive "Train the Trainer" session for our brand new AV panels with representatives from BenQ! 🎉🖥️

Building on our recent drop-in sessions, this dedicated team took a deep dive into our new classroom tech. Now, they're fully equipped to lead training sessions for teachers across the district as we get ready for the upcoming school year. 💡👏

A huge thank you to the BenQ team for coming out and helping us empower our educators! Take a look at some highlights from the two-day training below!
