EVSC ICATS (Integrating Curriculum and Technology Specialists)

The EVSC ICATS had a wonderful time with the Helfrich Park STEM Academy Technology Team last Friday. This group of young creatives shared lots of great ideas of future products they want to create and asked Tim and Jerrad for feedback on their portfolio. The team is narrowing down their ideas in preparation for presenting at Berry Global in May. They're going to do great! Good luck Puma Technology Team!

Promethean recently announced they have moved back the date of ending product support for ActivInspire. Their initial announcement stated that support would cease September 2017. Promethean will now continue to update ActivInspire Software to ensure its satisfactory performance through June 30, 2018. After this date, Promethean will no longer provide any customer support for ActivInspire Software. This means you now have the entire 2017-18 school year to transition to ClassFlow. If you need any assistance, please contact the ICATS. We will be back in buildings after August 8, 2017.
