We appreciate there will be a wide variety of home technology setups and so we try to be a flexible as possible. The teacher will typically just need access to a Mac or PC. Instruction can be delivered to students via a home computer or smart phone using browser and app-based tools like Zoom, Google Hangouts and Vidyard. The slides can also be printed out for students as guided notes if they don’t have access to a smartphone or computer.

Are there any flexible payment options available for districts and schools who would like to implement Boardworks immediately?

Certainly. Our priority is to support effective teacher guided instruction through this difficult time. Please inquire about split payment or deferred payment options that would be available to your school or district.
