Creating technology for the classroom, Acer helps students and
teachers explore beyond limits providing access to new paths of communication
and interaction. Enabling educators to keep pace with today's high-tech world,
Acer's trusted solutions are easy to use for teachers and students alike. If
teachers are confident in the technology they use, they can concentrate on
their pupils' learning, transforming every lesson into a journey of exploration
towards knowledge. This new approach to education will make today's students,
grown up in an era in which young people live and breathe technology, feel
closer to their everyday life.



Acer will showcase a fully functioning digital classroom, which includes tablets, notebooks, ultrabooks, desktops, monitors, projectors
and the Acer Classroom Manager software. Acer's digital classroom is engineered specifically for students'
exploration beyond the classroom boundaries, and for providing
teachers with the ability to instruct, monitor and interact with their students.
A live experience of the digital classroom will be offered during the day to

vital role in the digital era. This requires a massive effort amounting to
modern educational tools like tablets and PCs, interactive whiteboards and
projectors. It also requires a focus on digital learning materials and
methods," says Guido Terni, Acer EMEA Educational Business Manager.
"We want to engage directly with young people through the education
system. It is important that the potential of young people be nurtured to
ensure that we have strong generations of employable, skilled and engaged
youngsters in Europe."
