Bensenville transforms classroom computing with ClassLink
WEEHAWKEN, NJ, May 2, 2008– ClassLink, Inc. — the future of instructional technology, delivering 24/7 access to learning tools — today announced Bensenville Elementary School District 2’s, firm commitment to lowering the overall cost and maintenance of technology, on a recent selection of ClassLink’s software. ClassLink has designed tools specifically for schools that will be utilized to upgrade the computers throughout the K-8 district. The decision to purchase ClassLink was based on a search for a technology solution that provided reliability and ease of maintenance, as well as cost containment.
“Computers are an integral part of student achievement and progress monitoring at Bensenville,” states Jim Stelter, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services. “We installed new computer labs two and a half years ago, including a 30 station mobile lab, but there had been reliability questions and issues. We had a hard time finding support. We looked around recently and found Citrix and RDP platform integrators but ClassLink was the only one with true education background that provided a turnkey solution. We liked the fact that all the bugs were worked out, they took care of the implementation, it’s cost effective, and there is training and follow up support. Now our students can access the software they need anywhere; the integration is the real strength of ClassLink.”
Bensenville Elementary School District 2, a Chicago suburb, consists of five campuses which serve 2,270 students. The district puts technology high on the list of priorities. They made the decision to purchase new thin clients to utilize ClassLink software on their two servers. Stelter indicates that their implementation went very smoothly, and they are already planning to add additional seats to the conversion.
"We are very pleased to be working with a school system that is so committed to learning through technology,” confirmed the CEO of ClassLink, Berj Akian. “ClassLink is thefuture of instructional technology, demonstrating that education is our one and only market, and we’re gratified to partner with dedicated educators such as Jim Stelter and Bensenville Elementary School District 2.”
