The Empowered Learner: The Future History of Education
We can finally begin the transformation of teaching and learning in earnest. This conversation is for leaders and educators to create an empowered culture. A culture that delivers real impact with modern digital learning. Education is at the forefront of the "mobile-first, cloud-first" era.
Today, learning happens continuously and on-demand for students and teachers. It is critically important that we provide this opportunity for each learner. This means we must improve education productivity and opportunity for student success within the historical constraints of time, facilities, and funding. Microsoft has been a critical enabler for education leaders around the world to drive their learning innovation.
Join education veteran, Cameron Evans, CTO and harbinger of education transformation at Microsoft, on field-tested and research-proven insights on empowering the learner.

Unstructured Data is Costing you Money and Increasing Your Security Risk
Schools develop, share, and maintain large amounts of unstructured data which can account for storage and/or backups reaching 20-40% YOY growth. The IT staff needs to gain a better understanding of what is in their file storage prior to embarking on projects, such as data migrations, remediation, and moving file shares. Classification and archival is a critical component of managing the security and growth of this data.
Join us for an interactive and conversational webinar around data management and protection with Karen Fuller, CTO of Klein ISD, one of Texas’s fastest growing school districts and Symantec. We will discuss approaches on effectively analyzing, protecting, archiving, and maintaining compliance of this financial drain on school budgets.
You will walk away with actionable intelligence in:
- Defining data governance,
- Locating your “dark data,”
- Securing your data: district-owned devices vs. personal devices, and
- Improving operation efficiencies.

personal information? And how can we safely provide teachers with immediate
and continuous access to information and applications on the convenient digital
platforms that they have come to expect?
Please join Ben Orencia, from Symantec, and Matthew Peeples,
