Episode 8 - Digital Skills for the New Economy with Barbara Holzapfel

A seven year old today will graduate as part of the Class of 2030. How might we set them up for success in our increasingly digital world? On today's episode we speak with Barbara Holzapfel, GM of Microsoft Education, about technology, social emotional learning and the future of work. Barbara works across the entire Microsoft portfolio leading the strategic Education segment across K12 and Higher Education seeking to empower every student on the planet to achieve more. Recorded in person during the Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria last year, we explore the role of social and emotional learning and how we can leverage technologies to personalise learning for children and young people as educators and parents. We dive into tangible examples that can help us all support our children and learners to achieve more through enabling increased agency and choice.
