“Education innovation is a huge focus for us,” said Mark Lee, CEO and co-founder of Splashtop, Inc. “Since last year’s introduction, Splashtop for Business is gaining momentum among educational institutions looking to maximize mobile technology in their classrooms. Additionally, teachers are loving the interactive whiteboard to engage with and supervise student’s work from all four corners of their classrooms.”

In one Southern California school district, more than 800 teachers were outfitted with iPads and Splashtop’s Whiteboard application. Val Verde Unified School District teachers enjoy no longer being tied to their desk PC and can now move freely about the classroom with their iPads while engaging directly with students and monitoring their work. They also can send parents real-time examples of their children’s work.
