Microsoft: advert-body-1 by McCann Worldgroup
- Location:
Microsoft and McCann have partnered to recognize educators and the heroic contributions they are making during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many, leveraging Microsoft Teams, are singing, dancing and using every tool they can to keep students motivated and engaged in challenging circumstances. To celebrate their efforts and say thank you, Microsoft captured real classes taught via Teams, giving an inside look into how educators are going above and beyond to keep kids engaged with their learning. It’s proof that this year, every teacher is teacher of the year.
With Microsoft Teams, Microsoft is supporting educators, students and caregivers, all while keeping them safe and secure online. Additionally, Microsoft is hosting webinars and trainings, sharing resources, and giving schools free access to Microsoft 365—ensuring educators have everything they need for full classroom collaboration and remote learning through Teams.
The spot will run in the NFL Sunday Night Football Game on 15 November and across Microsoft social channels beginning 16 November.
