Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays and are ready to start the New Year with some awesome tech tools!

We are growing, and new products that help schools integrate technology into the core curriculum (language arts, social studies, science and math) are going to be our key offerings over the next few years.

Consequently, we need help finding and attracting quality education resellers to represent our products throughout North America.

Do you work with a company or two who you believe represents a broad array of education technology and curriculum in a professional and experienced fashion?
