USA Video Interactive Demonstrating Educational Services at NSBA Show in Denver
Features K-12video.com Portal and DC Schools Solution
DENVER, COLORADO, October 25, 2000 -- USA Video Interactive (OTCBB: USVO;
CDNX: US; www.usvo.com) is demonstrating its K-12video.com video portal and
other educational services at one of the premier trade shows for education
technology, the 14th Annual Technology + Learning Conference sponsored by The
National School Boards Association (www.nsba.org). At the conference, held
October 25 to 28 in Denver, Colorado, USA Video Interactive will describe how
its portal can bring the latest digitized educational content into the
classroom without schools having to make a large up-front investment in
hardware and content. Rather, USA Video Interactive's www.k-12video.com
portal enables school districts, individual schools, or individual students
to use an assigned subscriber ID and password to access educational titles
tailored to their curricula - whether they are in their classroom, library or
at a home computer.
Julia Launer, USA Video Interactive Director of Educational Technology, is
representing the company at the show and also will discuss the company's
recently announced contract to provide a sophisticated video and video
editing system to the Washington, DC public school system; its participation
with SchoolFirst Foundation (www.schoolfirst.org) in installations in New
York City, Boston, Miami and Chicago; and other educational initiatives.
Ms. Launer also will represent USA Video Interactive in the exhibit sponsored
by The SchoolTone Alliance (www.schooltone.com). USA Video Interactive is a
founding member at the Platinum Level and a Board Member of SchoolTone
Alliance, a global partnership of leading education service providers who
collaborate to create web-based portals. These portals provide affordable and
easy-to access Internet content, communication tools, and applications
specific to the needs of the education community worldwide.
The Technology + Learning Conference helps school leaders hone their
knowledge of technology's role in schooling and ultimately help students
achieve more. Called one of the premier education technology conferences in
the nation, the Technology + Learning Conference brings together school
district leaders, technology specialists, and the leading vendors in
education technology.
A series of high profile speakers highlight the three-day conference,
including Cisco Systems chairman, John P. Morgridge, who opens the conference
with a discussion of how schools can use the Internet to better prepare
students for the modern workplace and society.
