BASCOM Displays Bold Colors this Fall & Unveils New Booth at
Public and Nonpublic K-12 Events
Hauppauge, New York - September 17, 2007 — BASCOM Global Internet Services, Inc., a pioneer in Internet Management solutions for K-12 schools, boldly hits the trade show circuit with a colorful, new graphic display. Making its fall season debut with the exciting Global Chalkboard 5.0 release, BASCOM proudly unveils its booth at two flagship events this season.
As a proud sponsor of SCOPE's 13th Annual Technology Conference, Reaching Every Learner: The Power of Technology in Teaching and Learning, BASCOM will showcase its new Global Chalkboard to demonstrate the powerful educational outcomes of uniting technology with instruction. Designed for flexible deployments that support large, public school districts, the Global Chalkboard is an excellent, K-12 Internet instructional tool that empowers educators to use Web resources in the classroom.
"Now educators have an easy-to-use curriculum tool that lets them pick Web resources for their lessons," says Peter Cirasole, BASCOM's President and CEO. "Teachers have always selected textbooks and learning materials for their classes, and now the Global Chalkboard gives them that same ability to pick quality Web sites when using the Internet for instruction."
BASCOM will also be exhibiting the Global Chalkboard at the Conference for Administrators of Independent and Religious Schools. By extending the Global Chalkboard offerings to include the new My Web Library, BASCOM now offers schools the ability to distinguish themselves with a branded, home-to-school, Internet connection. Available in a variety of designs and ideal for continuing the learning process outside of the classroom and into the home, library, or after-school program, the My Web Library is the perfect solution for private schools that want to add more value to their education.
