All
Inclusive Lab Solution
The computer lab
or mobile lab
is where it all begins…from staff training to teaching computer
skills to students. As your technology plan evolves, the lab
remains the cutting-edge component for students.
Our model helps you get training, curriculum, integration
and state-of-the-art computers with IT support today
without the hassles and funding issues commonly faced.
We can provide every component of the lab or just
what is needed to get your school up to a high level of technology
proficiency as follows:

1.
Pre / Post Assessments and Professional Development
Where is your
school today in Technology Planning? What do your teachers know?
These are questions we help answer so we can apply the correct
amount of resources to get the program started. Teachers will
be given a pre and post assessment to measure their knowledge of
computers, and to determine their learning needs. As part of the
"prescriptive training" based on the assessment results, teachers and school staff will learn the tools relevant for
their job.
2.
Student Curriculum, Portfolio Development, Parent
Communication and Grading
BEYOND Technology
Education has developed lessons to teach your students the elements
of technology required for them to be successful in school and in
their careers. We integrate classroom instruction into the lab to
ensure that the classroom technology projects work harmoniously with
the lab. MAC or PC environments are supported.
3.
Classroom Integration
Part of our
curriculum process is to be sure classroom instruction is covered in
the lab. Our computer teachers are trained to meet with your staff
so there is a seamless inclusion of your classroom content.
4.
Resource Teacher or Assistant
We have trained
staff who can teach in your lab part-time or full-time depending on
your needs. Our teachers are selected to “fit” into your school
environment. We are very selective in our hiring process. We want
to insure that our teachers understand your school’s values and
culture, in addition to having strong technology and teaching
backgrounds. If you already have qualified computer teachers we
will train and support your teachers so they have everything they
need to deliver a first class technology lesson.
5.
NEW Computers, Networking and Software (Mac or PC,
you choose!)
We can provide brand new equipment for your lab, from
computers to printers to networking. We do it all. And best of
all, we pay all upfront costs and we maintain the
equipment over the term of the agreement. No hassles for you!
All necessary software and utilities are provided. Age and
grade appropriate software titles
have been selected to teach computer skills to your students.
No games here!
6.
Maintenance and Supplies
We provide
everything to insure that the lab runs efficiently. We provide ink,
paper, etc. and best of all we make sure the computers are working
at all times.
7.
Internet Web Pages For All Teachers
This online tool
will be used for scheduling, internal communication and parent
communication. Teachers can post test schedules, homework
assignments and other relevant information that school staff and
parents may be interested in knowing. Initial training and support
will be made available.
8.
Promotion
Our job is to help
the school administrators provide a top quality computer learning
experience. We will make presentations to school boards and
parents. In many cases the funds to cover the lab costs are fully
covered by parent participation. We will help you get the entire
parent population excited and motivated about technology!
Let us help
you raise funds. Parent Training, Summer Camps and on-line auctions
are just a few ways we can help cover the costs.
We
are dedicated to bringing you a fully functioning computer lab with
all of the components for success. Best of all, we will develop a
process where your budget will not be impacted. Click
