Real Life Applications
K-12 schools that want to leverage technology fully can start small and choose to grow into an environment that can:
- Enable teachers to work together and collaborate more closely for team teaching
- Notify parents of their children’s absences, missed or skipped classes, and when grades are available
- Provide 24/7 access for every student, teacher, administrator and parent to any appropriate material – whether homework, records of progress or a child’s grades – any time, securely, from any location, through any device via a personalized Web portal
If parents can have ready access their children’s progress in school, engaging in collaboration, intervention and remediation as appropriate, the entire education process becomes more focused, more productive and ultimately more beneficial to every student.
In higher education, sophisticated messaging and collaboration enables people to establish and manage close relationships no matter where they are physically to:

- Communicate with a broad base of people, including alumni and other constituencies
