Classroom Technology in Education Bid Requests

β€œThe whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” – Sydney J. Harris

We all share many things in common, including an obvious stake in the emphasis and investment made in education. Right here at BidPrime, a number of our employees have children attending public schools. In addition, a number of our staff members are attending college or have recently graduated.

Bill Culhane, our Marketing Director, has a son who is a middle school teacher. A lot can be said about what communities do to support their local preschool, K-12, community colleges, universities, etc… On a daily basis, here in client support, I interact with clients who provide across the board solutions, services, and expertise related to education.

With all of the previous serving as a catalyst, I partnered with a couple of teammates, on our Austin-based analyst team, to research, analyze, and report on the investment made on classroom technology by U.S. and Canadian public sector entities. Braedon, Theresa, and I focused our study on the past twelve month time period. Since our software / database is based on keywords and not codes, which are too broad and often lead to a quagmire of “false positives”, we were able to be very specific in our research. We considered the following bid requests:

β†’ Interactive Whiteboards
