CTL will work directly with you to build a tailored plan that aligns with your specific budget and educational goals, absorbing the entire logistical burden of device configuration, deployment, ongoing management, and retirement.
CTL draws on deep, scale-tested expertise, proven by deploying tens of thousands of Chromebooks and other devices year after year for the country's biggest school networks.
With CTL, simplify complexity, achieve a flawless rollout, and better manage your tech lifecycle to ensure your devices are ready to empower teaching and learning from day one.
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Amber and the CTL team as our partner in device procurement,” says Leah Weiske, Asset Manager for Tech Department for Baker Charter Schools. “CTL’s LTE-enabled devices keep our virtual learners connected, allowing them to learn regardless of their home connectivity. They manufacture high-quality hardware, pair each device with Google licenses, provision the devices, drop-ship them directly to students, and provide tracking information to Baker Charter faculty. We have found the devices to be sturdy, the connectivity reliable, and the devices easy for students to use.”
Build Your Own Skilled Chromebook Support
Over the years, CTL has delivered hundreds of thousands of Chromebooks and other devices in customized programs to thousands of schools within large-scale education programs.
This service is not really used in classrooms directly, but rather, used to more efficiently deploy devices to classrooms and keep them in good working order throughout the year.
As part of this service, something new that CTL is offering is a FREE certified student repair course, in which students learn how to be repair technicians for Chromebooks. CTL's Chromebook Care Course is a career and technical education-focused program for students in grades 8-12 that establishes a skilled, student-led Chromebook support team.
Students learn essential hands-on hardware repairs and vital professional skills, including customer service, help desk ticketing, and protecting student data privacy.
For schools, setting up a student repair lab with CTL's help is a win-win. Schools reduce their IT workload and repair costs while providing students with tangible experience and a portfolio for future career pathways.
