In today’s digital-first world, classroom technology is essential. At Big Ideas Learning, we are committed to empowering teachers and students through high-quality, innovative solutions that enhance the learning experience. One of our most impactful initiatives is our expanded collaboration with Clever LMS Connect. This integration ensures that our mathematics content seamlessly fits within the tech ecosystems already used by schools, simplifying access to our suite of digital resources designed to support effective math instruction.
Dennis Tarwood, Big Ideas Learning SVP of Technology, emphasized the value of this partnership:
“I’m excited about the opportunity to standardize not just the technical aspects but also a quality of service that is just missing in the education industry right now.”
