Collaboration and Connected Learning >>>
By leveraging advanced video, voice, and data collaboration tools, you can foster a collaborative learning environment that allows students to engage more meaningfully with content, teachers, and the learning process. With a telepresence solution, teachers can stream live events, take students on virtual field trips, and facilitate projects with other schools. Collaborative technologies are also opening up new avenues for teachers and administrators to communicate with parents.
Classroom Technology >>>
Interactive whiteboards and projectors give instructors creative and engaging ways to share prepared information and spontaneously create, collaborate, and share new insights in real time, which can also be captured and retained for future use. Centrally managed digital signage is an efficient, economical, and engaging way to keep everyone on campus on the same page – without the expense of printing, distributing, mounting, and maintaining print media. Digital signage can also be used in classrooms as satellite displays and can be assembled into a captivating instructional video wall display.
Student Computing >>>
Chromebooks are designed to help students learn in a mobile and interactive environment, with files and settings stored in the cloud so that they can be easily shared and accessed from any device. Fast, affordable, and mobile Chromebooks give students and teachers access to all the educational resources on the web.
Android tablets are portable enough to take learning anywhere, and powerful enough to open up countless new classroom possibilities. Moreover, Google Play for Education makes it easy to find the apps, books, and videos that bring learning to life.
1:1 and Mobility >>>
Teachers and staff expect the IT infrastructure to keep pace with the latest technologies, and they rely on you to show them how to stay current as well. What's more, the administration and best practices dictate that you deploy mobility solutions securely and economically. Zones mobility experts work in concert with your Zones Account Manager to deliver reliable, robust, and secure mobility solutions that can keep everyone connected and satisfied all the time.
