school makeover service

How well is your educational technology being utilized to meet the needs of 21st century learners? We'll visit your school to conduct a thorough analysis and provide you with a report that summarizes our opinions and recommendations.

We bring an unwavering educational perspective to our analysis of your current technology systems and usage. We're not advocates of technology use as an independent goal, but rather view it as an integral component of a more complete, holistic approach to education. 

what we believe

Assessments require a yardstick against which performance can be measured.  We believe:
  • schools should graduate self-directed, independent learners that have the necessary tools to thrive in a climate of continual change.
  • technology should be utilized to enhance the development of life-long learning skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. These skills will continue to serve students long after today’s technology becomes obsolete.
  • technology is best utilized in a student-centered learning environment that encourages questioning, research and discovery, experiential learning and individual self-expression.
  • the role of the modern teacher is to facilitate student learning rather than to deliver information.
  • the ability to use technology as a means to connect with people and content is an essential component of 21st century learning and should be embraced by educators and become an integral component of lessons.
  • the creation of a learning environment that blends traditional physical schooling with an integrated virtual presence can provide meaningful interaction with online information and learning tools.

What we'll do

We’ll spend anywhere from one to two days on campus observing, interviewing staff and gathering information about your school. Our analysis will measure the extent to which your school’s educational technology systems are designed to meet the needs of a 21st century learner. 
Optional Infrastructure Analysis: Successful educational technology requires a well designed and functioning infrastructure. As an optional service, we'll also conduct a technology analysis that addresses your network security, data backup, connection speeds, ease of use and more.

what you'll get

The finest educational technology solutions do not have to break your budget if they’re thoughtfully crafted and planned. The secret lies in having well defined objectives, designing common sense solutions tailored to those needs, and building a consensus among the entire educational team to embrace those solutions.

At the conclusion of our analysis we’ll provide you with a plan that includes a detailed list of specific recommendations regarding software, hardware, wireless connectivity, and staff training. These recommendations will be developed based on the school’s educational objectives and culture. 

If requested, we're also able to assist you with the setup and configuration of new systems as well as training and support.
