Keep Your Students Secure This School Year

Are you a teacher who is overwhelmed by having to be tech support and an educator at the same time? It’s hard enough getting your students to pay attention — much less use technologies you may have never used before.  

Across the country, millions of educators just like yourself are adjusting to the challenge of teaching remotely. And the Nerds at Nerd Crossing want you to know that you’re not alone. 

With over 25 years of experience helping educators, we can help you navigate this fundamental shift in teaching with ease. 

Why IT is Critical for Schools 

As a professional educator, you may be aware that the digital divide has gotten much worse during the pandemic. Studies show that students of color and young children are especially prone to falling behind.

The friendly experts at Nerd Crossing can address common problems you may be having right now — from wireless access to device updates.  

Is your Charter School Tech Savvy?  

  1. Can all teachers and administrators implement tech without connectivity issues? 
  2. Do you have an on-going plan to deploy devices to your students and to keep them updated?
  3. Do you have a 12-18 month IT and Cybersecurity Roadmap?
  4. Is funding readily available for necessary tech upgrades? 

If your answer is “no” to any of the above questions, your charter school might need an IT consult.
