SAN JOSE, Calif., May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today will recognize Zeeland Public
Schools as the latest recipient of the Extreme Exemplary School
Award. Winners are chosen based on their educational commitment to
implementing a personalized 21st century learning
environment and embody the best in American education by excelling
at engaging students in 1:1 or mobile learning.
Across eleven buildings within the district in Michigan, Zeeland Public Schools has enhanced teaching
creativity and learning methods through a variety of network
infrastructure innovations. The Exemplary School Award is presented
to schools that meet the following criteria:
- Stimulate 24x7 Learning: To meet the demands of today's
competitive global economy, schools must create lifetime learners.
To promote this concept and qualify for the Extreme Exemplary
School Award, a school must institute a 1:1 or Bring Your Own
Device (BYOD) mobile learning environment.
- Facilitate Individual Instruction: Learning is not a
one-size-fits-all environment. Networks and resources must be
empowered to permit personalized learning.
- Encourage Curricular Growth: To meet the demands of
curricular change, a district must implement an infrastructure that
readily adapts to curricular needs. Everyone learns differently,
and the network must be prepared to meet the growing requirements
of eBooks, streaming video and blended or flipped learning.
"Extreme Networks has been an excellent partner in providing
Zeeland Public Schools integrated
technology for a safe, secure and accessible way to promote
teaching and learning," said Joshua
VerHelst, director of educational technology services at
Zeeland Public Schools. "We look
forward to partnering with Extreme Networks for years to come."
"Extreme Networks values the use of technology in the classroom
to better connect students and educators, leading to a highly
motivating learning environment," said Robert Nilsson, director of vertical solutions
at Extreme Networks. "We are proud to acknowledge Zeeland Public Schools for integrating
technology into its curriculum to increase collaboration among
teachers and students, and we hope to encourage more schools to do
the same."
An award presentation is scheduled for today, May 16, 2016 at 7:00
p.m., when Extreme will present the Exemplary School Award
during the board of education meeting.
