MICROSOFT & ST PATRICK’S Over the last few months St Patrick’s has distributed hundreds of Microsoft Tablets to HND students. Recently a team from Microsoft were on site at St Patrick’s College to make a short film about the Microsoft Surface Tablets given to second year HND students by the college. They filmed a new group of students being handed out their tablets and also spoke to several of them about the tablet and how it will
help their coursework and homework. Interviews were held with St Patrick’s Principal, Prof Daniel Khan OBE, Chief Information Officer, Vicente Fraser and Head of the School of Technology, Malcolm Thompson who all did a brilliant job on camera too. Thank you to all those who took part, we look forward to seeing you on camera soon! The final video will be shared across Microsoft’s Social Media platforms as well as ours!
