Computerwisekids contracts with public, private, charter and parochial schools to provide a complete state-of-the-art technology program for their school.  Schools who try to manage their own computer labs quickly discover that the costs of a technology program do not end with buying computers and software.  The network needs to be installed and administered, the school’s electrical system may need to be upgraded, equipment and operating systems become obsolete within three years, software licenses must be renewed annually; maintenance costs skyrocket as the computers get frequent use, and computers inevitably go down.  In addition, an instructor needs to be hired, trained, paid for and retained; and each time there is a change in leadership or focus, more costs ensue.  Unless a school is very big and has extraordinary parental support in terms of money and volunteer time, it becomes unmanageable.

 

The solution is Computerwisekids.  We buy and maintain all the equipment and software you need for a continually updated computer lab so every student has access to his or her own PC laptop during lab time.   We provide an experienced teacher who uses proprietary Computerwisekids curriculum for the younger students, and works with the older students and teachers to integrate multi-media technology into the California standards curriculum.  (Click on “Curriculum” for more details.)  The costs are shared among all Computerwisekids clients, so the price a school pays per student per class remains low. Your school’s technology expenses are fixed, and there are no “surprises” or hidden costs in the middle of the school year.  For schools that already have a computer lab, CWK offers a basic instruction package and additional services like technicians and network administrators.
