Technology's become such a big part of what we do in the classrooms every single day.
We had more teachers that wanted to use the devices on a daily basis than we had computers, so really the next logical
step for us was truly to be one-to-one. We've been thinking about this initiative for a while. We had to consider cost,
obviously, was was important to us.
Durability was important to us. And then
we wanted a device that would take us to the next level. We reached out to a couple of companies,
Bak USA being one of them, and said, you know, "Would you let us borrow some devices?" And frankly,
Bak was the only company that said, "Of course we'll do that!"
We started talking to Microsoft, and they actually recommended that the Atlas product would be,
you know, exactly what we were looking for. Our tech staff behind the scenes was able to work with Bak to image them.
The personalization that they were able to provide to us from that very
beginning, and then, so, fast forward to the summer and we're ordering devices, speaking with Ian and others at the company,
you know, directly around what our needs were.
Within 12 hours of that shipment being in our school, we had folks from Bak here helping us... unpacking boxes,
putting batteries in pens, adding screen protectors.
It really was just this amazing experience because our small team felt large.
