USA Video Interactive Demonstrating Educational Services At NSBA Show in Denver
USA Video Interactive (OTCBB: USVO; CDNX: US; www.usvo.com) is
demonstrating its K-12video.com video portal and other
educational services at one of the premier trade shows for
education technology, the 14th Annual Technology + Learning
Conference sponsored by The National School Boards Association
(www.nsba.org). At the conference, held October 25 to 28 in
Denver, Colorado, USA Video Interactive will describe how its
portal can bring the latest digitized educational content into
the classroom without schools having to make a large up-front
investment in hardware and content. Rather, USA Video
Interactive’s www.k-12video.com portal enables school districts,
individual schools, or individual students to use an assigned
subscriber ID and password to access educational titles tailored
to their curricula – whether they are in their classroom, library
or at a home computer.
Julia Launer, USA Video Interactive Director of Educational
Technology, is representing the company at the show and also will
discuss the company’s recently announced contract to provide a
sophisticated video and video editing system to the Washington,
DC public school system; its participation with SchoolFirst Foundation (www.schoolfirst.org) in installations in New York City, Boston, Miami and Chicago; and other educational initiatives.
Ms. Launer also will represent USA Video Interactive in the
exhibit sponsored by The SchoolTone Alliance
(www.schooltone.com). USA Video Interactive is a founding member
at the Platinum Level and a Board Member of SchoolTone Alliance,
a global partnership of leading education service providers who
collaborate to create web-based portals. These portals provide
affordable and easy-to access Internet content, communication
tools, and applications specific to the needs of the education
community worldwide.
The Technology + Learning Conference helps school leaders hone
their knowledge of technology’s role in schooling and ultimately
help students achieve more. Called one of the premier education
technology conferences in the nation, the Technology + Learning
Conference brings together school district leaders, technology
specialists, and the leading vendors in education technology.
A series of high profile speakers highlight the three-day
conference, including Cisco Systems chairman, John P. Morgridge,
who opens the conference with a discussion of how schools can use
the Internet to better prepare students for the modern workplace
and society.
