DOHA: Ta’allum Academies are fully committed to a vision of eLearning development as a key aspect of preparing students for their future in an increasingly digital world.
Two Ta’allum educators were officially designated ‘Microsoft Fellows’ this year in recognition of their achievements as technology education experts, said a statement issued yesterday.
Erin Holding from Al Jazeera Academy (AJA) and Ahmed Sami from Al Maha Academy for Boys (AMAB) earn the title “Microsoft Innovative Educator Fellow 2018-2019”. This prestigious award is granted to selected Microsoft educators who have demonstrated expertise and dedication collaborating with educators to transform classroom learning. They have been selected from among the over 6000-strong Microsoft Innovative Experts worldwide.
The two award winners, Ta’allum technology leaders of AJA and AMAB, are proud and privileged to have received the honour. Erin and Ahmed are streamlining school wide efforts in developing students’ computer literacy — particularly in Microsoft Office programmes — and utilising online learning resources. This year Microsoft chose 300 innovative educators from around the world as fellows and they will be honoured by Microsoft executives at a ceremony in Paris next year.
Dr Mohammed Saefan, Ta’allum Director of Education, also hailed the achievement. He says, “We continue to carve a niche in Qatar with our contribution to the country’s goal of promoting a knowledge-based economy for its citizens in the 21st Century.”
Saefan adds, “The success of our teachers affirms our e-learning strategies which integrate Microsoft education. Ta’allum believes in the future role of technology and modern facilities to promote the best outcomes for our pupils.”
