BENEFITS FOR TECHNOLOGY DIRECTORS

The Global Chalkboard is easy to administer and use. For a Technology Director it delivers the following benefits:

• Server-based; there is no need to install extra software on each individual computer.
• Allows the school to easily manage student access to Internet features such as AOL, FTP, etc. to conserve network demand.
• BASCOM's annual subscription includes automatic upgrades for software, additional Web content in the Web Library, and new BASCOM lessons. Also provides full disaster recovery with off-site back-up of configured files and teacher-created lessons, phone technical support, and online technical support.
• A system that's easy-to-use minimizes questions from users providing a technology coordinator with more time to do his/her job.
• The Guardian is an integrated firewall that completes the instructional approach to Internet management found in the Global Chalkboard by governing other types of Internet services such as AOL, FTP, and IRC — far exceeding the capabilities of a traditional filter. The Guardian also provides an extra layer of protection for your school's network by integrating with an existing firewall or operating independently as the primary firewall for your school's network.
