All Inclusive Lab Solution

From staff training to teaching computer skills to students, the computer lab is where it can all begin. As your technology plan evolves, the lab remains part of the cutting edge component for students. Our model helps you get state of the art computers today without the hassles and funding issues commonly faced.

We can provide every component of the lab or just the minimum to get the school up to a high level of technology proficiency as follows:

1. Computers, Networking and Software

We provide brand new equipment for the 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 titles have been selected to teach computer skills to your students. No games here!

2. 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 perfectly at all times.

3. Student Curriculum

BEYOND 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.

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 to insure that our teachers understand your school’s values and culture and who also have a strong technology and teaching background.

5. 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. As part of the plan, teachers and school staff need to learn the tools relevant for their job.

6. 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.

7. 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!

8. Fundraising

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.
