SAN DIEGO, CA–( EMWNews – April 2, 2008) – TechEd 2008 – Booth #916 — The International

Technology in Education Conference & Technology Exposition (TechEd),

focusing on real-world and best-practice solutions for K-20 education, is

proud to announce School Web Lockers as a featured exhibitor during its

13th annual conference being held April 13 – 16 at Southern California’s

Ontario Convention Center. At the event, in booth 916, School Web Lockers

will debut its next-generation digital drop box technology, which

transforms the way K-12 schools and school districts share files, store

video and data, and collaborate online.

The new 2.0 release of the School Web Lockers collaboration and storage

platform, introduced in December 2007, features a blogging capability that

allows K-12 educators to create blogs in minutes, turning simple text into

a dynamic online forum for posting important news on projects, assignments

and tests. Blogs represent the latest trend in web-based collaboration,

with more than 100 million estimated to be in use today.

“As a K-12 collaboration tool, blogs can provide teachers with a powerful

new way to reach out to students and parents alike with essential classroom

news,” said Kelly Agrelius, manager of sales and marketing for School Web

Lockers. “We are proud to demonstrate this new capability, as well as the

other advanced features of our system, at TechEd.”

Offering unlimited data storage capacity for as little as $1 per student,

the School Web Lockers service consists of a secure, password-protected web

site that schools can leverage for file sharing and storage. Each student

and staff member receives their own digital locker that comes with a user

name and password. They can use the lockers to upload homework assignments

and projects, send and receive assignments, view graded work, and

communicate with teachers and classmates outside of the classroom. For

added collaboration, School Web Lockers also provides the teacher blogs as

well as message boards, which can be used for school-wide or even

district-wide online discussions.

Use of the system is easy: users can create work on one computer, and then

stash files in their web locker for completion later — either on the same

computer, or on another one at home or elsewhere.

“With many schools, file sharing between home and school is a significant

challenge due to security constraints,” said Agrelius. “The School Web

Lockers platform gives students and instructors access to information that

might not otherwise be available to them beyond the school day, which sets

the stage for improved success in the classroom.”

As the world’s largest hands-on conference of its kind, with more than 250

sessions presented by leading educators and technology authorities, TechEd

2008 will offer 200 exhibits. A TechEd Green Pavilion will feature green

technology solutions for the classroom, and a model “classroom of the now”

will also be on display.

Members of the media and the educational community are invited to visit the

School Web Lockers booth at TechEd. Complimentary exhibit hall passes with

registration discounts are available by contacting Annette Sobolak at

School Web Lockers, at 866-383-3136 (toll free) or
