The dirty little secret about mobile devices is that the more you use and touch your phone, tablet or computer, the dirtier they get. Keeping all your devices and screens clean, polished and protected is now more convenient than ever with the announcement today that WHOOSH!® Screen Shine, the first and only non-toxic, fingerprint-resistant cleaning solution that is safe for all screens, is now available at Apple.com as well as  in all Apple® retail stores throughout North America.

Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! Screen Shine was specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that eliminates fingerprints, smudges, dirt, grime and makeup from any electronic device screen — leaving a clear, streak-free finish that makes the screen shine like new.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is made with biodegradable surfactants and its proprietary formula provides a nano-thin invisible coating that also provides resistance to fingerprints and dirt buildup. Plus, WHOOSH! Screen Shine is safe and non-toxic. There’s no harmful residue left behind or transferred on to your fingers to worry about.

According to Greenspan, “Keeping our devices and screens clean in a safe, non-toxic way is a requirement of living in a mobile society,” Greenspan emphasized.  “More people touch more devices than ever before and this reality requires all of us to extend personal hygiene to tech hygiene.  In the same way that we are encouraged to regularly wash our hands to fight the spread of germs, we must now regularly clean our devices and screens as well. WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the only cleaning solution that has been proven to do this in a safe, non-toxic way.”

Granite District Preschools Change The Meaning of "Hands On Learning" With Interactive Tablets Protected by Trident Kraken AMS Series Cases!

Like many schools throughout the country, the Granite District in Salt Lake City, Utah is incorporating tablets into their daily lessons. However, when the students using these tablets are only three to five years old, the importance of protecting these tablets becomes a paramount concern!

Within the school system, children are given the opportunity to learn with innovative technology. Thanks to the Trident Kraken AMS Series of cases, teachers are able to incorporate tablets into lesson plans with confidence, knowing the devices are protected against everyday mishaps and expensive accidents.  

Tablets are revolutionizing the way educators conduct lessons within the classroom. Preschool teachers have always used hands on learning   techniques to keep children’s attentive and motivated to learn. Adding the element of technology into this equation has only enhanced children’s interest about various topics.

“Tablets are a huge investment to make in a classroom of three to five year olds,” Granite District Preschool Coordinator, Bridget Chiazzese stated. “Leaving them unprotected is a recipe for disaster. Trident is the single reason the tablets are now in the students’ hands.”

Primarily in the Granite District, iPads are being used for small group lessons and throughout their learning centers. Subjects such as pre-writing, math and pre-literacy are the main focus of the tablet engaging activities, and the students love it!

“The children are definitely excited and engaged when information is presented on a tablet,” Chiazzese explained. “Some of the kids literally cheer during pre-writing lessons when they are able to correctly write a letter. I have never seen such enthusiasm during the lesson that was previously completed on paper.”

This overzealous enthusiasm is not the only encouraging aspect of tablet use in preschools. Each child is able to work through a subject at his or her own pace and skill level, creating an amplified, one-on-one atmosphere even in a group setting. Technology within the preschool system is benefitting students as they launch into their next phase of education, giving them a leg up when entering elementary schools. As e-books and other learning apps are incorporated more frequently in K-12 schools, it’s important to allow every student the opportunity to work on tablets and prepare them for the digital demands of the future.

“Many students in our classrooms do not have access to technology at home, so the tablets are a huge asset,” Chiazzese said. “School is one of the only places some students are able to explore and learn with technology, so it’s great to finally have the protection needed to use the devices daily."

Furthering its commitment to provide custom designed case solutions for every professional user environment, Trident Case® today announced the introduction of a new line of chemical-resistant iPad® cases called the Medical Series.

The series also has slots to attach an adjustable padded nylon shoulder strap.

In Devon, Alberta, students of Robina Baker Elementary School are getting creative with the help of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, a tablet that promotes interactive learning as part of the Samsung School solution.
 
“Samsung School has brought such a dynamic energy to the classroom. Through these easy-to-manage digital tools, we are able to truly focus on education instead of the technology,” said Matthew Kierstead, Principal of Robina Baker Elementary School. “This is revolutionizing the classroom experience for our students and educators alike.”
 
In order to deploy the program across Canada, Samsung partnered with Advanced Education. “Educational Technology promotes a dynamic, vibrant, and productive learning environment,” said Advanced’s Product Manager for Samsung School, Paul Weatherhead. “Advanced Education seeks to enhance the overall learning experience by integrating tablets in to the classroom. We are honored to be a part of the Samsung School solution.”
 
Now, school districts in Canada may purchase specially configured and priced Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets either through direct purchase order to Advanced Education or through purchases made at a specially created online store located at www.advanced-education.com/store.
 
Samsung School, a digital education solution, utilizes the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet with compatible software to bridge the gap between teacher and student. The program creates a cohesive tablet device environment for K-12 classrooms by using the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 for screen sharing, screen monitoring, student device control, remote content sharing, content management and formative assessments.
 
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet promotes dynamic and creative learning. Alongside formulated lesson plans, students input their own pictures and text to accompany learning material. “The kids are able to make a more personal connection to the materials they’re studying,” teacher Trevor Handerson emphasizes. “The tablets integrate online technologies with their personal notes.”
 
Samsung school software enables screen-sharing capabilities, which allow teachers to track a student’s progress on individual screens. This enables for a personalized, intensive learning experience in which instructors can assess each student’s performance individually. “Elijah was reading below grade level, said Allison Cupid, the student’s mother. “With the Samsung School program, the visually stimulating program sparked his interest, and he advanced two full grade levels in the course of eight months.”
 
The initiative enables beneficial, easy-to-use tasks, including screen sharing, screen monitoring, instant quizzes, virtual group collaborations, student progress tracking, and more.
 
“Lessons are lot more fun,” one student explains. “It ‘s made everyone focus a bit more. We can add pictures, type and write with our colored pens. The tablets made our learning more exciting.”
 
Advanced Education, a division of Advanced Inc., is at the forefront of the educational revolution by introducing and supporting the integration of interactive technology into classrooms throughout Canada. The company assists with any type of integration solution from a single projector or SMART Board to technology plans for an entire school district. Advanced Education is much more than a technology provider.
