What Is A Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE)?

GREAT TEACHERS NEVER STOP LEARNING.

Why not take an immersive deep dive into Microsoft tools such as OneNote, Forms, Sway, Office 365 for Education and Microsoft Teams. Learn how to expand the walls of your classroom using Skype in the Classroom and the online Microsoft Educator Community. Microsoft Innovative Educators are teachers who have learned the fundamentals of Microsoft tools and use these innovatively in the classroom. The Microsoft MIE Teacher Academy delivered to you by Tablet Academy as a Microsoft Global Education Training Partner is the most cost effective way of upskilling your teaching staff to make use of the full range of Microsoft tools and discover new pedagogic practices through the ’21st Century Learning Design’ Academy.
