Partnering with SMART: An unwavering commitment to supporting teachers with powerful EdTech tools and training

See how The Office of Education Technology for The School District of Philadelphia strategically supports over 9K teachers and 100K students.
"We meet teachers where they are"

The School District of Philadelphia selected SMART, not only because of their unmatched interaction and functionality, but because of their commitment to innovation and level of understanding of teachers and students. SMART teamed up with Visual Sound to activate technology in their schools and “be there for the long haul”.

‘Make and Take’ is an annual professional development event hosted by the School District of Philadelphia that equips teachers with the technology and training they need to have a successful start to their school year.

What makes the ‘Make and Take’ model so unique is the emphasis on the teacher and student. The PD model that once had only a 30% attendance rate now receives 100% attendance and often needs waiting lists. Educators in the District of Philadelphia truly understand the value of this PD opportunity and the importance of digital literacy in the classroom.

We are honoured to support The School District of Philadelphia with Visual Sound and be their trusted partner for educational technology that is making a difference in the lives of teachers and students. These are the #ConnectionsThatMatter
