NCCE Announces
a Partnership with Washington State's
Washington Learning Source
  
Recently, Northwest
Council for Computer Education, NCCE, and Washington Learning
Source, WLS, formed a new marketing partnership to increase
awareness of educational opportunities for the state of
Washington.
“This is the first time Northwest
Council for Computer Education has teamed together with
Educational Service Districts to market their educational
technology products and services,” stated NCCE Executive
Director Heidi Rogers. “We anticipate that it will
be very successful for Washington and possibly other states
in the future.”
The Washington Learning Source is
a collaborative effort of the nine Washington educational
service districts to provide premium access to products
and services for school districts. “Our goal is to
be the negotiators for the schools and vendors so that we
represent the best deal for our school districts and ultimately
save taxpayers money,” said Anne Allen, Director.
“We are excited to start a new trend by partnering
with such a large technology education organization as Northwest
Council for Computer Education because it will give us a
marketing edge that we could not get just by ourselves,”
she stated.
NCCE will be hosting their annual
technology in education conference in Spokane, Washington,
on March 6-9, 2007. The theme of the 36th annual technology
conference is “Agents of Change” and will be
held at the Spokane Convention Center. Special events celebrating
the WLS and NCCE partnership will occur at the Pavilion
Showcase in the center of the Exhibit Hall during the conference.
