Klein ISD Adopts ANGEL Learning Management Suite to Enhance Teaching and Learning
For Immediate Release - June 27, 2008
Indianapolis, Ind . – June 27, 2008 – ANGEL® Learning, recognized innovator of enterprise course management software and services, today announced that Klein Independent School District (ISD), a fast growth school district in southeast Texas, has adopted the ANGEL Learning Management Suite (LMS). A leading district, Klein ISD places enhanced teaching and learning opportunities at the center of its goal to expand technology. The district is initially implementing the ANGEL LMS in its one-to-one computing environments in Vistas High School, Krimmel Intermediate School and Klein Oak High School in the fall of 2008.
Klein ISD was in need of a product that was K-12 focused that would allow teachers and students to interact in a safe and secure environment, to exchange documents, post assignments, interface with the student information system and provide web 2.0 tools for our students in the 1:1 environment.
The Information Technology (IT) Department, Educational Technology (Ed Tech) Department and the Student Information Systems (SIS) Department put together a team of department leaders to implement the product. The IT and SIS Departments worked on the back end of the product to get the program to interface with the student information system the district utilizes, while the Ed Tech Department worked with the three campuses on training and implementation.
“ANGEL Learning is pleased to welcome Klein ISD to the quickly growing K-12 ANGEL community,” said Christopher Clapp, president and CEO, ANGEL Learning. “Every new ANGEL customer brings a unique perspective that helps us refine the ANGEL LMS to meet different and growing needs. We appreciate that Klein technology personnel are already actively participating in the ANGEL community and look forward to their continued input.”
Fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Klein ISD serves more than 40,000 students in 37 schools with a dedication to preparing students for the realities of the global 21st Century, working in a digital environment with project-based outcomes. The district’s commitment to technology education extends to the community through expansion of summer and extended hour library programs to include adult computer and internet access. Technology training sessions are provided for parents and adult Klein ISD residents.
