Learning.com Classroom StoreLooking for an End-of-Year Solution? Announcing our New Classroom Store for Teachers
Teachers, are you looking for an effective supplemental curriculum to support your end-of-year reteaching instruction and get ready for summer school? Check out our new Classroom Store. Now you can purchase Learning.com's award-winning solutions online for classroom use with individual students or with your whole class. You'll have immediate access to EasyTech, our K-8 technology literacy curriculum, and Aha!Math, our K-5 supplemental math curriculum.

The new online store makes it simple for teachers, principals, technology coordinators and other educators to use classroom funds to purchase Learning.com's products, providing an excellent resource for classroom use, summer school programs, extended day programs and your computer lab curriculum.

"We heard from educators that they have long wanted to use their discretionary classroom funds to buy our products," says William Kelly, CEO of Learning.com. "With these focused, Web-delivered solutions, teachers can deliver individualized instruction to exactly the students who need it, right when they need it."

The Learning.com Classroom Store is designed to let teachers make purchases with just a credit card, rather than using a school purchase order. Because Learning.com's solutions are Web-delivered, teachers get same-day access to the products, and can immediately incorporate their purchases into their instructional day. A "Starter Kit" is as little as $48 and can be used with as many as 10 students for 90 days, with additional subscriptions for more students available. Check out the store here.

WebinarCase Study:
One District's Story on Making Best Use of its Technology Investment

North Penn School District had the classic challenges: an influx of technology tools, a district-wide commitment to help students get the technology skills they need, but no cohesive plan to get there. Read this case study to learn how the district, located just outside Philadelphia, provided their teachers with effective strategies to use technology in their instructional days, including using. This case study also discusses how the district demonstrated with data that 88 percent of the district's sixth graders were "technology proficient."
