Educator's Resource Center

Save money for your school by computing in the 'cloud' Schools operating in
the cloud can give students access to their networks through any network-equipped
device, such as a smart phone, laptop, or tablet computer. They also can save
money on storage and energy costs by eliminating the need for power-hungry
servers. On the flip side, schools will need robust networks with secure and
reliable internet connections to take advantage of cloud computing's benefits

Flexible 21st-century classroom environments
Deploying technology in the classroom isn't easy, making the task even more
difficult is the often fluid nature of today's classroom environment, where
teachers might float from one room to another or students might be placed in
different groupings from one class period to another. Educators today need
technology solutions that are flexible enough to meet a variety of needs and
solve a plethora of challenges.
