BASCOM Kicks Off School Year with Exciting New Designs for Global Chalkboard's Student Start Pages

Hauppauge, New York - August 20, 2007—BASCOM Global Internet Services, Inc., a leading software development company specializing in Internet curriculum solutions for K-12 schools, welcomes teachers back to school this year with exciting new design templates for the Global Chalkboard's Student Start Pages. This is the page students read on their computer screens when they begin a Global Chalkboard, Internet-enriched lesson.

BASCOM's Development Team listens to K-12 educators to improve our Global Chalkboard. Since children love to play, teachers suggested that we make learning fun by improving the look of our Student Start Pages. Designed to entice students into becoming active participants, these new templates were built by BASCOM to inspire learning. This is further proof of BASCOM's commitment to helping our children learn and succeed in a globally-competitive economy.

"Now our Global Chalkboard, a curriculum-building tool, offers graphically appealing templates for its Internet-enriched lessons," states Peter Cirasole, BASCOM's CEO & President. "Children are transformed into active learners since they are immediately drawn into the process."
