With the theme “Shaping Tomorrow: AI and Digital Technologies in Education,” the summit featured speakers and participants from the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan. The goal was to share practical ways to bring technology into the classroom, promote digital literacy, and prepare students for a changing learning environment.
“Digitalization has demonstrated its capabilities to complement, enrich, and transform education, and Acer created this summit as a catalyst for innovation,” said Andrew Hou, president of Pan Asia Pacific, Acer.
Tech solutions for classrooms
