Twenty-first Century Technology. Proven Best Practices.
Maximizing technology for all learners
The EDUCATION 2020 system is user friendly for both the teacher and student. Past
experience shows us that in 15 minutes or less a teacher or administrator can be
trained to perform basic functions including addition or removal of students, courses,
progress tracking and creation of simple reports. Students are able to navigate
the program within minutes, making transition to the EDUCATION 2020 program a seamless
solution. There is little maintenance to the system, but enormous flexibility for
the teacher and administrators.

EDUCATION 2020 provides added security
Secure Station provides a school district the capability to allow or disallow access
to the Education 2020 Virtual Classroom at the end-user level. The security allows
a school to only allow access from a computer lab or other monitored computer systems
versus computers from a library or other locations on a campus, including at home.
This is accomplished by allowing access to stations that have been authenticated
by an administrator. Contact EDUCATION 2020 to learn more.
