Helping schools succeed with technology. We know it sounds lofty, but we want to help the next generation thrive by giving them a better learning experience. To do this, were helping schools change (perhaps an even loftier goal). Since 2012, weve partnered with schools to weave technology into their cultural fabric. Weve experienced incredible succ... esses and epic failures, and we love sharing every bit of what weve learned so far. Our team has deployed and manages thousands of school devices, has facilitated hundreds of professional development days, and proudly supports hundreds of educators daily. By now we know what network equipment and devices work best in schools, but when it comes to the adoption of technology, every school is in a different place both from an infrastructure perspective and the staff culture.
