I often hear technology coordinators tell me “Lisa, my biggest problem with getting teachers to embrace technology in their classroom is their fear of the unknown.”
Here at SimpleK12, it’s our livelihood to help teachers overcome fears of new technologies and learn how to use these technologies in their classroom (ala our “Integrating Technology into the Classroom” online learning series).

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