Innovation within your reach.
Increasingly, educators are looking to technology tools to help them engage students more effectively,
to increase teacher effectiveness, and to enhance collaboration both inside and outside of the class-
room. One of the key challenges they face today is to create a more vibrant and interactive learning
environment that will improve the educational experience for students. From the largest university
lecture hall to the smallest grade-school classroom, teachers are always searching for better ways to
share information with students, deliver more interactive learning materials, and facilitate participation
in rich and engaging class discussions.
