Continues Strategic Partnership for 21st
Century Learning
Boxlight Corporation (NASDAQ:BOXL), a leading provider of
interactive technology solutions for the global education market,
today announced a one year contract extension with Atlanta Public
Schools, one of the largest school districts in the United States
with enrollment of over 50,000 students.
Boxlight’s original 5-year, district-wide contract was a key
component of Atlanta Public School’s quest to increase student
engagement and accelerate learning by equipping classrooms with a
transformational 21st Century Learning Environment designed to
improve “The Four C’s”: critical thinking, creativity,
communication and collaboration. Atlanta Public Schools selected
Boxlight as the vendor of choice for all middle and high schools
because of their award-winning educational presentation and
collaboration software, along with superior hardware and
integration.
The Atlanta Public Schools 21st Century Learning Technology
Bundle includes the purchase, installation, service, professional
development and warranty support for a complete suite of classroom
technology, including the Boxlight ProColor interactive flat panel.
To date, over 1,100 Boxlight panels have been installed in the
district. The contract extension allows Atlanta Public Schools to
continue equipping over 500 remaining classrooms.
During the course of the contract, Boxlight has provided
upgrades and enhancements including: increasing panel sizes from
70” to 86”, improving panel and document camera resolution from HD
to 4K, doubling the speed and reliability of the embedded PC,
adding Android and enhanced simultaneous wireless display
capability, providing remote management capability, and offering a
free upgrade to the robust MimioStudio™ interactive learning
software that includes built-in assessment and collaboration
tools.
“The Boxlight team is very professional and willing to go above
and beyond to help us achieve our objectives. Our internal teams
also have a great working relationship with Boxlight. They have
been proactive in keeping us informed about new or emerging
technologies and have initiated several improvements to our
existing solutions,” said Olufemi Aina, Executive Director,
Information Technology, Atlanta Public Schools.
