Stronger Wireless Classrooms Wireless isn't a buzzword, it's the new norm for classrooms. However, it brings new Cutting-Edge Document Camera from HoverCam By Jamie Sachs, Senior Director of Education At UBTECH Education, we are constantly looking at how we can improve our services to support educators in Integrated STEM disci- plines. We're excited to talk about our UKIT programs, NGSS-designed curriculum, and new advanced coding and circuitry lessons. Supplemental Curriculum Flexibly Integrates into Existing STEM and CTE Programs Our UKITs bring robotics and computer science activities to students during their nor- mal school day. Educators can easily integrate our NGSS-aligned supplemental lessons into their existing core educational programs, using hands-on robotics as the vehicle for bringing STEM concepts to life. Our curriculum reflects the interconnected nature of STEM disciplines as they are practiced in the real world. You'll find lessons covering The Institute for Learning Perspectives (Perspectives XR) is a non-profit established by educators for educa- tors who want to marry the coolness of augmented and virtual realities with the needs of today's educators in history, literature and the arts.

But because NISD chose ClassLink as its district-wide SSO provider, it has also tamed a wild ros- tering process and gained detailed usage analytics that helps it make informed purchasing and professional development decisions. Jason Sanders, Director of Instructional Technology for NISD, explains the district, which is a 1:1 Chromebook environment, already had an SSO provider that worked fine. But ClassLink met so many more of their needs. "When we switched to ClassLink, it was different. Instead of being what worked, it was what educated," explains Sanders. Rapid Rostering "If we go a couple of years back, rostering very much looked like the wild west," explains Sanders.
