💡 Building Future-Ready Skills: ESGTS and Microsoft Certifications
Hello everyone! I’m a lecturer at the Escola Superior de Gestão e Tecnologia de Santarém (ESGTS) in Portugal, and I’d like to thank Microsoft for the great work they’re doing with the Microsoft Learn for Educators (MSLE) program. We first heard about it in February 2025, when we started our onboarding process. The program immediately caught our attention because it offers two complementary learning paths, Microsoft Certifications and Microsoft Applied Skills, both of which align perfectly with the courses our School already teaches in Computer Science. The flexibility of these learning paths, some longer (Certifications) and others shorter (Applied Skills), along with multilingual support and hands-on labs through the Skillable platform, without students or teachers needing to use their own Azure credits, were key reasons why we decided to adopt the program. We’ve also seen growing interest in the topics covered by Microsoft certifications such as AI, AZ, DP, MS, and SC, among others. We quickly began training and certifying our teaching staff using the vouchers provided through the MSLE program, with the goal of soon extending this training to our students as well: In addition to our academic training, our School’s strategy also focuses on developing students’ skills using official vendor content. This effort led to our first in-person MSLE training session — AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals — held on June 11 and 12, 2025.

Hello, Does anyone know what happened with the Microsoft Office specialist official courseware? A week ago, it was available on the instructor recourses page on Microsoft Learn, but right now I can't find it there. The OneDrive links aren't available too; it says that they have expired. Thank you!
Student portfolio in OneNote
Hi, greetings from a upper secondary school teacher in Denmark. Please advise if this is not the right forum for this post. If you give feedback in Edword, Teams rubrics, student Word-files and what-not, how do the students !and the teacher!) keep track of their feedback? I would like to create student portfolio's in OneNote where students can collect feedback from written assignments. I would like to hear other teachers' experience. I blogged a little about this in Danish: https://lektoren.dk/man-retter-da-ikke-i-danske-stile/ Thanks, LarsMSLE is offering FREE virtual AI Bootcamps! Space is limited.
