Samsung Appoints Advanced Education To Serve As Its Canadian Partner In The Samsung School Initiative

Advanced Education, Canada’s premier classroom technology provider for the K-12 education market, today announced that it has been appointed by Samsung to serve as the company’s Canadian partner in the deployment of the newly launched Samsung School initiative. The partnership was announced today by David Weatherhead, Co-President of Advanced Education, at the Samsung School debut at ISTE 2013.

Samsung School creates a cohesive BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environment for K-12 classrooms, with its integration of Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablets for each student and dedicated Samsung School software that facilitates collaborative learning while providing a variety of classroom management tools for teachers.

“Advanced Education is honored to partner with Samsung to provide the newly launched Samsung School initiative to districts and students across Canada,” Weatherhead said today. “Our deep knowledge of the Canadian education market, in combination with Samsung’s dedication to making cutting edge technology available to all teachers and students, will truly revolutionize the way technology is used in every classroom across the country.”

According to Weatherhead, effective immediately all K-12 school districts in Canada will be able to purchase the specially configured and priced Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablets either through direct purchase order to Advanced Education or through purchases made at a specially created online store located at www.advanced-education.com/samsung. Advanced Education and Samsung are offering a special package on GALAXY Note 10.1 Tablets that includes a $50 instant rebate, a free Samsung case (a $65 value), and free shipping. This offer is available to Schools, Parents and Students across Canada.

Samsung School is an integrated digital education solution for K-12 classrooms, combining Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet with learning management and interactive teaching software. The easy-to-use learning management system (LMS) helps teachers with course administration and content management. In class, interactive teaching tools include: screen sharing; student screen monitoring, screen lock, instant quizzes, group collaboration, dynamic access to content as well as controls to track student progress and lesson plans, all the while making use of the GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet and the sophisticated S Pen.
