It's become increasingly clear that media-rich applications like video are transforming how we communicate, work, and live.  As someone who has spent years working in the Public Sector space, I've seen a major transformation in Education, including new ways we are approaching teaching and helping individuals to learn.  At Cisco, we are continuing our commitment to better education through the use of video through a variety of methods: video surveillance to protect our students; Digital Media Signage to provide a more interactive environment which better connects schools with their communities, students, and parents; and through TelePresence and Webex for enhanced classroom and distance learning applications.

Our Video-Enabled Teaching and Learning Solution platform helps students in K-12 and higher education gain the skills they need to advance in today's workplace by introducing them to a more collaborative, virtual learning environment.  This transformational learning environment will  empower them with 21st-century skills needed to increase overall U.S. competitiveness and job preparedness.  Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers shared his perspective on the future of collaboration and the value for education during a recent virtual forum for education leaders.
