PowerSchool and REX Education Executives during the recent Innovation in Education Summit
PowerSchool, a leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education, recently announced the successful release completion of its Innovation in Education Summit held at Park Inn by Radisson in Quezon City in partnership with REX Education. The summit drew over 130 education leaders from across the Philippines to Metro Manila to discuss best practices for the use of PowerSchool Schoology Learning and to learn about the future of education with AI, including PowerSchool’s AI assistant, PowerBuddy.
“We were delighted to partner with REX Education for this Innovation in Education Summit in Manila. In addition to sharing insights with leading educational providers from across the Philippines we were able to showcase personalised learning for every child with our Artificial Intelligence offering PowerBuddy,” said Stewart Monk, PowerSchool’s Senior Vice President and General Manager, International. “PowerSchool is already supporting over 60 million students worldwide with its Schoology learning platform and the Innovation in Education Summit is an opportunity to showcase the future for education leaders in the Philippines, facilitate Al readiness, and build best practices in Manila and beyond.”
The audience included educators and administrators from 70 schools across the Philippines who braved inclement weather from Typhoon Kristine to learn about how Schoology Learning can unlock the power of technology and data. In addition to presentations from PowerSchool representatives, the audience heard stories from PowerSchool customers who shared anecdotes regarding their successful implementation and use of Schoology Learning.
Presenters discussed the importance of improving education, particularly following poor Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) rankings for the Philippines, in part due to COVID-19 learnings loss. Francis Jim B. Tuscano, EdTech Coordinator & CLE Dept. Chair at Xavier School-San Juan, stressed the importance of continued use of technological integration following the return to on-site learning. He mentioned Xavier School’s use cases with Schoology Learning including course management and delivery, student engagement and collaboration, assessment and grading, flexible learning options, parental involvement, and professional development for teachers.
PowerSchool presentations included demonstrations of products including Power School Connected Intelligence K-12, PowerBuddy for Data Analysis, PowerSchool Curriculum & Instruction, MyPowerHub, PowerBuddy for Assessment, PowerBuddy for Custom AI, PowerBuddy for Engagement, and PowerBuddy for Learning. PowerSchool also shared its responsible AI principles including AI that is human-centered, fair and non-biased, and stringent data governance, privacy, and security.
