Democrasoft, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: DEMO), the creator of Collaborize
Classroom™ (http://CollaborizeClassroom.com), a free online
learning platform, announced today their collaboration with the
Alaska Department of Education & Early Development to make
educational technology available to K-12 students in all Alaska
elementary, middle and high schools.
With over 30% of its population living in rural areas and
reliable transportation often lacking, Alaska's smaller schools
struggle to stay connected to the rest of the state. The Alaska
Department of Education & Early Development is working with
students and district technology coordinators to provide all of
Alaska's schools with an economical solution that can help overcome
geographic challenges, while also teaching students how to
communicate effectively online. Collaborize Classroom has become a
valuable tool to help introduce high tech, blended-learning
technology to schools across the state and the vehicle to help
pilot the Alaska Student Voices Online Forum, where Alaskan
students are asked for input on educational issues.
"In today's educational environment, schools must reach students
in ways that are relevant to them," said Democrasoft CEO, Richard
Lang. "Collaborize Classroom gives every student a voice and
encourages participation from all students, including those who
normally don't participate in class, allowing them all to
participate on their own time."
Collaborize Classroom provides Alaska's teachers with a free
online learning platform to help students feel connected and become
a part of the decision-making process. Collaborize Classroom is
designed to complement, not replace, classroom instruction, and
engage students in online activities, assignments and discussions
that will teach them valuable technology skills and online
communication, a practice that will benefit them throughout their
careers.
