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 during challenging circumstances. To celebrate their efforts and say thank you, Microsoft captured real classes taught via Teams in this commercial which gives 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.
“There are so many heroes during this challenging pandemic, but one group who will have a lasting impact on the future are our teachers. We want to do everything we can to help them be productive and effective—and have some fun along the way—via Microsoft Teams. Here’s to our teachers,” said Kathleen Hall, chief brand officer, Microsoft.
The spot will run in the NFL Sunday Night Football Game on TV November 15 and across Microsoft social channels beginning November 16.
