Wireless Technology
Stay Ahead of the Curve with Technology Resource Center

Wireless technology is gathering momentum in education.

D-Link, Linksys, and others have a full range of wireless technology products to keep you on the cutting-edge.

Microsoft Support for Meeting “No Child Left Behind” Requirements
The federal “No Child Left Behind” act places substantial new requirements on K-12 educators, schools, and districts to track and report numerous educational performance metrics, manage curricula, and demonstrate annual improvement in student achievement.  In Oklahoma, for example, 10 school districts are using a solution that enables them to meet these legislative demands: Intel's Managed Learning System, powered by the Microsoft Accountability and Assessment.

To assist in achieving the goals of the NCLB act, Microsoft has created a free online tool to help districts identify opportunities and available resources. Select a goal and then create your customized summary to see what solutions are available to help you address NCLB.  http://www.microsoft.com/education/?ID=NCLBSolutions
