Case Study: Holly Springs Elementary School transforms teaching and learning with Microsoft Corporation

Holly Springs STEM Academy taps OneNote to transform teaching and learning

Holly Springs Elementary School, a K-12 school in the United States, faced challenges engaging students in writing and keeping classroom materials organized, especially for learners with limited access to technology at home. With Microsoft Corporation products including Office 365, OneNote 2016, and Skype for Business Online, teachers needed a way to make lessons more interactive while reducing administrative overhead.

Microsoft Corporation implemented OneNote-centered digital learning workflows and supported staff through Microsoft Innovative Educator certification. The result was stronger student engagement, improved writing quality, faster lesson distribution and grading, and a paper-free system that made assignments easier to manage; teachers reported students progressing from a few sentences to paragraphs, with work saving automatically and classroom time used more effectively.
