Enrich the Learning Experience in Edge Browser

Microsoft Edge Browser

I think I’ve reached a point professionally where I automatically assume that Google Chrome is the default web browser. It’s been years since I’ve seen someone use Firefox, and the one time I saw a colleague using Internet Explorer (in 2015) I was honestly in shock–I had been so used to Google Chrome! And while Chrome has been my “default” browser for a while, I have been experimenting more with Microsoft Edge given my work with Microsoft tools. That’s why when I saw this new course pop up on the Microsoft Educator Center, I knew I had to take it!

Microsoft Edge Browser Can Help You

The name of the course is Enrich the learning experience in Edge browser, and it specifically focuses on how to use the Microsoft Edge browser to enrich learning experiences for students and teachers through in-browser experiences such as…

• Organizing lesson plans
• Accessibility features
• Using Math Solver to help students solve math challenges (and, as a former math educator and current STEM coach, I cannot describe how much I appreciate this feature!)
• Writing on web screenshots and PDF’s

Personally, I learned so much taking this course and how Edge can help support teachers and learners. I definitely recommend anyone interested in learning more about what Edge has to offer to take this course and learn more. Plus, taking this course can take you one step further to becoming a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (MIEE)!
