The East Bronx Academy for the Future: A ClassLink Pilot
New York, NY
East Bronx Academy, like many urban schools,
needs to solve the following problems:
- How can technology be used in a costeffective manner to improve student engagement and achievement?
- How can student work be maintained and stored so that teachers and students can access it when they need it?
- How can software-based curriculum be
accessed by students from home and school to increase student work time and enable teacher preparation?
For three weeks in June 2007, ClassLink worked
with the East Bronx Academy to address these
instructional and technology issues. ClassLink, a
leading educational technology firm focused on
any computer, anytime access, conducted a pilot
of ClassLink LaunchPad™ with the 6th grade
students and teachers at the Academy.
