North Dakota school districts can now access ClassLink at zero cost thanks to a state-wide partnership.
North Dakota State Superintendent Kirsten Baesler says the state's ongoing project with ClassLink originated at the Department of Public Instruction and EduTech, a part of the state Information Technology Department.
Across the state, 43 school districts, including Dickinson, Williston, and Jamestown, are already using ClassLink to strengthen cybersecurity, improve access and understand the usage of their digital learning resources.
ClassLink will make it easier, faster, and more secure for students and their families to use classroom technology.
