Thank you to Aerin Bowers and Nicholas Klima from Clever for delivering an engaging session on classroom-friendly cybersecurity.

Nicholas joined us virtually last Thursday for our Partner Program Meeting - an event that brings together technology leads from across Manitoba's K-12, post-secondary, independent, and First Nations education sectors.

We appreciate Aerin’s efforts in coordinating the presentation and Nicholas’s insights into age-appropriate authentication strategies that help schools strengthen security, reduce administrative burden, and better protect students and staff in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

As we prepare for our final Partner Program Meeting of the 2025/2026 school year, we're looking back at a few moments from our previous gatherings.

Throughout the year, Partner Program Meetings have brought together educators, IT professionals, government representatives, and industry partners to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges, and strengthen collaboration across Manitoba's education community.

These conversations, connections, and shared experiences are a great example of June's Quiet Work, Big Impact theme. While much of the work happens behind the scenes, collaboration remains one of the most important ingredients in building stronger systems and supporting better outcomes for learners.

We're looking forward to one more opportunity to connect before the summer break.

When people think about technology, they often think about the tools.

What they don't always see is the learning that happens behind the scenes.

As part of our Quiet Work, Big Impact theme, we're highlighting one of the ways MERLIN helps support Manitoba's education community: professional learning.

Whether it's strengthening cybersecurity awareness, building confidence with new technologies, or developing technical skills, training helps educators and IT professionals prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

It's not always the most visible part of the work but investing in knowledge today can have a lasting impact tomorrow.

Check out our upcoming summer and September training opportunities and join us for a season of learning.
