BASCOM Launches "Children Learn Differently: An Initiative to Educate K-12 Decision Makers on How to Use Technology to Deliver AIS"

Hauppauge, New York - April 19, 2006—BASCOM Global Internet Services, Inc., a leading software development company specializing in Internet curriculum solutions for K-12 schools, today proudly announces a new marketing campaign: Children Learn Differently. Designed to raise the awareness of Superintendents, Principals, Teachers and Curriculum Developers, this initiative outlines the advantages of using technology for Academic Instruction Services (AIS).

Children learn differently; by using new innovative software, teachers become empowered to reach each child in the classroom through the use of Web-enriched instruction. With the Global Chalkboard solution an educator has the ability to focus curricular resources for differentiated instruction to an at-risk student while also simultaneously delivering a lesson to the rest of the class. Both classroom and individualized instruction occur to improve student achievement across the board.

BASCOM's Global Chalkboard unites technology with instruction and empowers educators to achieve higher levels of student performance. Learning within the classroom improves and isolation is reduced as students with a wide variety of learning approaches succeed simultaneously.

About the Global Chalkboard
BASCOM's Global Chalkboard is an innovative and flexible teaching tool that uses the Internet for learning. The Global Chalkboard provides immediate access to educational Web sites and builds Web-enriched lessons mapped to curriculum goals and state standards.

The Global Chalkboard is both flexible and easy to use. It offers a novice user immediate access to educational sites with the Web Library; it offers an intermediate user prepackaged, ready-to-use BASCOM lessons; and it offers an advanced user a method of building their own, Web-based lessons using the Global Chalkboard's Lesson Creator.
