Jeff Ashby With new models of tablets, applications and upgrades launched daily, it’s difficult to wade through all the tablet news. Especially for individuals tasked with coordinating the technology deployment for their schools. From decisions about what kind of devices to purchase, figuring out how many carts are needed to charge their devices, and mapping out which deployment strategies to use, there’s a lot of information to sift through. Creating a future forward-proof plan from scratch can feel overwhelming.
But the good news is educators don’t have to tackle this on their own. Anthro Corporation helps educators by sharing their expertise and knowledge. Product designers and engineers spend many hours on-site learning firsthand about the challenges teachers, students and IT staff face in the classroom.
“We’ve spent so much time on mobile device technology. We just want to offer support to educators and IT staff about their tablet deployments. That could mean walking them through charging and syncing options to raising red flags about details that are often overlooked, even they don’t intend to buy product from us.” says Cathy Filgas, Vice-President and Anthro Co-founder. “We know how frustrating this process can be. We get it. And we want to help.”
Anthro’s technology specialists answer questions on strategy, tablet devices and charging/syncing options all day long. They saw a need to develop online tools like the Tablet Matchmaker to help customers see which products will work best with their own devices and overall deployment strategy. The Tablet Matchmaker will be available on Anthro’s website in March 2013.
