Jabra Case Study

Bringing school children together during the Covid pandemic

When Covid struck in the beginning of 2020 De Sprong was in the middle of integrating Office 365 in the classroom for teachers, students and their parents to use. “We wanted the roll-out to be finished by October”, says Enrico Marti, a grade 4 teacher, “but suddenly, we had to get it done by March.”

Enrico sought help from Microsoft and was advised to integrate Microsoft Teams together with Office 365. Jabra made the perfect hardware to bring the classroom to kids at home.

“With Jabra, the children stay engaged. We felt it was crucial for their focus, but also for their social-emotional development and well-being for things to stay as personal as possible. Things weren’t the same as they used to be, but we tried to emulate the feeling of an old classroom, with lots of laughter and interaction. You can understand why a high-definition camera and crystal-clear sound solutions were not negotiable.”

Flexibility was key

Sometimes, parts of the class were attending lessons from home, while others were on site. For these occasions, the Jabra PanaCast camera was set up to capture both the children present, the teacher and the digiboard.

Other times, when it was ‘just’ the teacher in the classroom, De Sprong wanted to record the teacher and the digiboard. Enrico: “That’s why quick adaptability was key for our user demands.” Jabra delivered, he says. “The PanaCast and Speak are small, and easy to install and use because of their plug and play nature. Everything is fully certified for use with MS Teams, so all of our teachers can start teaching in an instance.”

“It really made a difference for me and my children during trying times. I show others the benefits of Jabra and Microsoft Teams, and I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the schools embrace these new possibilities.”
