Empowering Anytime, Anywhere Learning

Farmingdale Public Schools serves over 5,000 students across six schools. As part of its commitment to modernizing education, the district implemented a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative, encouraging the use of multiple devices, including iPads, Chromebooks, and Samsung tablets. To fully realize the benefits of BYOD, the district needed a seamless way to connect students and teachers to digital resources across various platforms.

Navigating a Multi-Device Learning Environment

With an influx of personal and district-issued devices, students and teachers struggled with accessing digital resources efficiently. Managing multiple logins across different platforms created frustration, disrupted learning, and reduced instructional time. The district needed a solution that would provide a centralized access point, ensuring that all students and teachers could use their preferred devices without barriers to learning.

ClassLink delivered the seamless access Farmingdale needed, providing single sign-on (SSO) capabilities across all devices. With ClassLink, students and teachers could instantly access their digital tools from any location, reducing login issues and enhancing engagement. Because ClassLink is web-based, the district was able to implement it quickly and begin seeing immediate benefits.

Making the move from Print to Digital Resources with BYOD

The Challenge

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiative that Farmingdale School District introduced promoted the use of multiple devices, including iPads, iPhones, Samsung tablets, and Chromebooks. The district needed to find a way for teachers and students to access all their digital resources seamlessly through any device they were now introducing to the classroom.

To accomplish this, the district needed an easy approach that would support various devices, while providing access to all digital resources when and where they were needed.

Choosing ClassLink

ClassLink’s one-stop-shop approach to digital resources was identified as a solution to support the district’s BYOD initiative. The goal was to find a tool that gave students and teachers instant access to digital resources. ClassLink did just that by supporting all platforms of devices and promoting the use of various digital resources seamlessly. Since ClassLink is web-based, the district was able to adopt ClassLink easily and put it to use immediately.

The Outcome

Students can now collaborate much easier and are now much more engaged and comfortable since they can use any device to access the same digital resources quickly and easily. The success of ClassLink is directly reflected through the increase in student’s grades and test scores. This lasting impact will continue to promote student’s engagement in any additional resources as the ed-tech landscape continues to evolve.

“Kids are rising to the occasion to really complete some meaningful projects and assignments.”
