As technology becomes pervasive, schools are increasingly challenged to provide the finest learning environment to students while managing tuition costs and administrative budgets. Increased demands for mobile technology, as well as “smart boards,” projectors and video displays heighten the difficulties of delivering these state of the art products while meeting budgetary constraints. It’s a tall order, but one that could be met with the right partner.
The C.L.A.S.S. ThinkPad@School Program enables schools to accelerate and integrate the learning experience with technology. CLA can equip your school with a wireless networked environment and universal access to technology – anytime, anywhere, enabling students to explore, analyze, simulate, synthesize and share an ever-increasing body of information. The program fosters interaction and collaboration, making learning more project-based and team-focused as students work together in class and online, at home and after school.
Since the program’s inception in 1998, by our sister company and partner in St. Louis, the positive feedback from participating schools has been remarkable. Aside from transforming the classroom experience, teachers are feeling re-invigorated, students are enthusiastic about learning as never before and administrators not only kept the program within budget, but have actually lowered their monthly technology costs. Our network of participating schools has proven to be an invaluable resource for schools contemplating a laptop program. They are always thrilled to share new ideas they have incorporated, elaborate on past experiences and welcome a visit to witness the extraordinary transformation firsthand.
The C.L.A.S.S. ThinkPad@School Program goes beyond simply purchasing laptop computers for students. CLA acts as your single point of contact from planning to procurement offering unparalleled services and warranties while utilizing comprehensive and proven cost effective solutions. Our Network Specialists will evaluate your current infrastructure, design and implement robust and secure solutions, and make complex technology choices simple.
Our Finance and Leasing Team can structure flexible payment schedules to anticipate seasonal cash flows and budgetary constraints. In addition to improved fiscal management, cash freed up by leasing may be allocated toward other school expenditures. Our expertise will guide you through each step of the process to ensure a smooth and efficient transition for your school.
It would be our pleasure to share more detailed information with you. Please contact us to learn more about the program or to arrange a presentation for your school.
