• Microsoft Customer Story-Blue Valley School District reimagines learning inside and outside the classroom with Azure Lab Services

Blue Valley Public School District uses Azure Lab Services for their Project Lead the Way curriculum to give students access to Autodesk’s suite of CAD applications, like Revit, Inventor, and Inventor CAM.  Blue Valley also uses Azure Lab Services for their art and yearbook classes which includes using Adobe Creative Cloud.

Here are some excerpts from this customer story:

• “Students are no longer limited to district-managed devices to complete assignments and can access tools on a computer at home - just as they do in the classroom,” says Jaime Sutherland, Cybersecurity Engineer at Blue Valley School District. “Our teachers love the fact they can use their tablets to configure their labs and provide a diverse and equitable experience to every student no matter where that student chooses to work.”

• “The teachers who create labs in our environment love the freedom Azure Lab Services offers, allowing them to work on their labs virtually anywhere driving their curricula with impressive flexibility.”

• “Managing Lab Services VMs through Microsoft Teams gives teachers the added benefit of all the Teams functionality along with their labs, including the ability to share files and other course-related information with their students and other teachers.”

• “Azure Lab Services has helped us significantly lower the priority of on-premises hardware refreshes.”

Thanks,

Azure Lab Services Team
