Case Study: Tokai University Takanawadai Junior & Senior High School improves ICT education with Microsoft Surface devices

Tokai University Takanawadai Junior & Senior High School - Customer Case Study

Tokai University Takanawadai Junior & Senior High School, a large educational institution in Japan, faced a challenge in ensuring all teachers were proficient in information and communications technology (ICT) for active learning. While students had been issued Surface Pro 3 tablets, teachers used separate notebook computers, creating a gap between those who could leverage ICT and those who could not, and complicating the use of digital teaching materials.

Microsoft provided a solution by implementing its Surface Book devices for the faculty. This consolidated the hardware teachers used for both classroom instruction and administrative tasks, closing the ICT proficiency gap. The result was a more convenient and secure environment for using electronic teaching materials, which helped the school further its goal of nurturing critical thinking and preparing students to be globally active personnel.
