Keynote on AI in Education

During the event, Murray Legg, tech entrepreneur and former teacher, delivered a keynote address on the changing role of education in an AI-driven world. His insights sparked meaningful conversations among attendees. Furthermore, the discussion encouraged schools to think critically about how to prepare students for a rapidly evolving technological environment.

Hands-On Mock Classrooms

To give educators practical experience, ASUS set up mock classrooms as breakout sessions. Teachers and school representatives engaged directly with ASUS devices through interactive demonstrations. As a result, many participants immediately recognised how durable, reliable, and innovative technology can enhance teaching and learning. Moreover, these sessions became one of the main highlights of the day, reinforcing the value of hands-on exploration.

Commitment to Smarter Solutions

“We believe smarter schools need smarter solutions. This event was about showing educators what is possible when technology is paired with passion and purpose. ASUS is committed to building solutions that empower teachers and inspire learners,” says Werner Joubert, Director of the Commercial Business Group at ASUS South Africa.

In addition, Arno Vorster, Account Executive at ASUS South Africa, highlighted: “Durability and reliability are at the heart of our education portfolio. From spill-resistant keyboards to military-grade testing, we design our devices to withstand the realities of the classroom, so schools can focus on teaching, not downtime.”

Inspiring Educators and Learners

Marce Heath, Head of Marketing for ASUS Commercial South Africa, noted “It was inspiring to see the excitement in the mock classrooms. Educators immediately recognised how these tools could make their work easier and their lessons more engaging. That’s exactly why we’re investing in education to help schools unlock their full potential.” Consequently, the event left educators motivated to explore new ways of integrating technology into their classrooms.

Ultimately, the event reinforced ASUS Education’s commitment to supporting South Africa’s education sector. By combining durability, reliability, and innovation, ASUS continues to pave the way for smarter, more connected classrooms. Furthermore, the company’s dedication ensures that teachers gain tools that simplify their work while learners benefit from more engaging, future-ready education. read more here
