(Nasdaq:NSIT), a leading worldwide technology provider of hardware, software and service solutions for districts and schools across the U.S., today launched Insight ON: Education, a news and digital information resource to help the education community use technology to improve teaching and learning. The site was launched ahead of the International Society for Technology in Education 2014 Conference (ISTE), where Insight is hosting several discussions covering the latest technology innovations, issues and trends impacting classrooms.
Insight's introduction of this online resource for the education community is part of its expanded commitment to help school and district leaders capitalize on the transformative potential of the Internet, wireless technology, tablets and other technology advances in education. Through Insight ON: Education, the company is engaging with key education stakeholders to give them the knowledge and information they need to actively shape how technology is introduced and used in the classroom.
