    The Collaborize Classroom team (I am the digital media + pr manager for them) is back home in Santa Rosa from the CUE Educational Technology Conference in Palm Springs (and SXSW in Austin)

    We had a booth at the CUE Confrence and not to brag... But we were a HIT. We had a great time, gave away a TON of swag and of course, hosted a great tweetup. 

    We had many questions from the teachers that visited our booth and so I wrote a blog post on the Collaborize Classroom Blog with the answers to some of the questions we recieved the most...  

    Is it really free?

    Yes, Collaborize Classroom is a completely free online learning platform for teachers and students. We won’t pull a bait-and-switch and start charging after a year. Our online learning platform will always be free.

    We are starting to plan the next big educational technology confrence - ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia and I am excited to show off some social media contests I have up my sleeves!

    The latest press release to come from the Marketing Team at Democrasoft!

    Collaborizeclassroomlogo

    Democrasoft, Inc. (OTC PINKSHEETS: DEMO) the creator of Collaborize Classroom™ (http://CollaborizeClassroom.com), a free online learning platform, announced today their collaboration with the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development to make educational technology available to K-12 students in all Alaska elementary, middle and high schools.

    With over 30% of its population living in rural areas and reliable transportation often lacking, Alaska’s smaller schools struggle to stay connected to the rest of the state. The Alaska Department of Education & Early Development is working with students and district technology coordinators to provide all of Alaska’s schools with an economical solution that can help overcome geographic challenges, while alsostudents how to communicate effectively online. Collaborize Classroom has become a valuable tool to help introduce high tech, blended-learning technology to schools across the state and the vehicle to help pilot the Alaska Student Voices Online Forum, where Alaskan students are asked for input on educational issues.

    “In today’s educational environment, schools must reach students in ways that are relevant to them,” said Democrasoft CEO, Richard Lang. “Collaborize Classroom gives every student a voice and encourages participation from all students, including those who normally don’t participate in class, allowing them all to participate on their own time."

    Collaborize Classroom provides Alaska’s teachers with a free online learning platform to help students feel connected and become a part of the decision-making process. Collaborize Classroom is designed to complement, not replace, classroom instruction, and engage students in online activities, assignments and discussions that will teach them valuable technology skills and online communication, a practice that will benefit them throughout their careers.

  • About

    Hello! My name is Shana Ray, a Digital (Social Media) Marketing Director, working with wineries, restaurants & tech.

    My main website can be found at http://shanaray.com but I use this one as my social media/wine/food/music/llama blog and my way to get out my frustrations with the stuffiness that sometimes comes with wine.

    ...and I have red hair and can usually be heard before I am seen.

    I am a partner at Two Five Media and a Digital Media + PR Manager for Collaborize Classroom http://CollaborizeClassroom.com/blog

    .... yup, llamas.
