ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To help clients increase their IT utilization and reduce datacenter operation costs, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today introduced new mobile, management and storage components for its PureFlex and Flex System portfolios. Key among these components is a new storage system to help improve storage utilization as much as 30 percent while delivering extraordinary ease of use.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
This storage system is tightly integrated with IBM Flex System Manager and uses IBM Storwize family virtualization and unique IBM Real-time Compression technologies to help clients reduce storage requirements by up to 80 percent. As a result, clients can run their most important workloads with no application performance degradation.
IBM also unveiled new capabilities for PureFlex and Flex Systems that will provide the management and administration tools clients need to effectively increase their datacenter utilization. These include: integrated end-to-end storage management; mobile access to the system for clients through a wide range of mobile devices (Android, Blackberry and iOS); and centralized control of user id's and passwords across nodes and chassis for greater system security. These features will build upon the capabilities of Flex System Manager to help organizations more efficiently create and manage their IT infrastructures.
Recent research from IDC illustrates that one of the main challenges IT organizations face today is around the deployment, management, and administration of servers – which are consuming a larger portion of the overall IT budget and consequently leaving fewer resources to spend on new projects. Sixteen years ago the bulk of IT budgets was spent on hardware, with less than 30 percent on management and administration. By 2013, that relationship will have completely flipped and management now will drive nearly 70 percent of all expenditures. (1)
"Clients are telling us that when they look to upgrade the legacy servers and storage that constitute their current IT infrastructures they don't want to spend too much time and effort tuning and managing the new systems," said Andrew Monshaw, GM IBM PureFlex. "These are the companies that are turning to PureSystems to reduce their costs and increase their datacenter utilization."
To date, more than 1,000 PureFlex and Flex Systems have shipped in more than 40 countries around the world. Clients are installing IBM PureFlex or Flex System to help reduce IT cost and complexity. For example:
- Finnish IT outsourcing services and data center services provider Academica will use PureFlex to rededicate time formerly spent on IT maintenance and support to driving customer service support and developing new services. As a result of this new allocation of resources, Academica will be able to focus on expanding its business by improving services to meet evolving customer requirements.
- China's Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology will use IBM PureFlex to help improve the quality of education services offered to students and launch the university's Digital Campus platform and student Campus Card.
- India's Thane Bharat Sahakari Bank selected a Smarter Computing solution built on IBM PureFlex over its existing environment to create an intelligent infrastructure designed to help the bank manage growth, introduce new client services and boost its profitability.
"IBM PureSystems is the ideal choice because it helps us in three main areas," said Shriram Date, CEO, Thane Bharat Sahakari Bank. "First, it reduces our cost and complexity - simplifying and reducing steps across the complete IT life cycle; second, it provides additional security by helping reduce enterprise risk with trusted protection built in from the hardware up; and third, PureSystems significantly reduces new application deployment times."
New Flex System Components
The IBM Flex System goes beyond competitor's blade configurations and provides the elements for IBM PureFlex. IBM Flex Systems are built-to-order offerings for clients who want to custom build and tune configurations to their specific requirements. This allows them to select the specific compute, systems networking and optional storage and management required to support their specific workloads.
As part of today's announcement, IBM is unveiling new and enhanced elements for all four aspects of the Flex System including:
- Management: A New version of IBM Flex System Manager that will allow clients to bring new components online faster, provide better monitoring and alerts and more easily integrate applications, services and workloads through a new, even easier user interface and mobile access.
- Storage: Integrated Flex System V7000 storage node with built-in virtualization, intelligent tiering, and IBM Real-time Compression® that enables storing up to five times as much data in the same physical disk space.
- Processors: New POWER7+, x440 and x220 compute nodes will provide clients with a wide range of advanced processing technology to deliver workload optimization and choice for client datacenters. Also, all POWER compute nodes are now available as build-to-order components in Flex System.
- Networking: New converged fabric switches providing Fibre Channel over Ethernet and new adaptors will allow clients to choose from a wide variety of advanced networking technologies that integrate into existing network topologies and provide optimized bandwidth for their workloads.
IBM Business Partner Ecosystem Continues to Expand
For IBM Business Partners, PureSystems creates a new services opportunity to help clients solve the complexity of enterprise IT, reduce costs and encourage innovation. From resellers to distributors and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), more than 2500 Business Partners have received PureSystems certifications. PureSystems currently run tens of thousands of existing ISV applications across four operating environments including Windows, Linux, AIX, and IBM i operating system. Additionally, Business Partners have created more than 250 new solutions and applications that are optimized to run on PureSystems. These patterns of expertise, which span 20 industries, can be accessed through the IBM PureSystems Centre. They include leading solutions from some of the world's largest ISVs, including ERP systems and applications for the banking, marketing, healthcare and energy industries. Additionally, partners are able to perform many of the configuration and deployment services that previously came only from IBM and are optional and optionally available to be performed by qualified business partners.
To help address the new opportunity that PureSystems presents, IBM is also providing training, marketing, certifications and technical validation support to its Business Partners. For instance, dozens of IBM Innovation Centers in cities such as Bangalore, Dublin, Johannesburg and Shanghai are helping Business Partners develop and test their applications using IBM PureSystems. Business Partners can also bring their clients to IBM Innovation Centers to see PureSystems technology at work.

Review Sites Lead To Brand Insights
Consumer reviews, on sites including InsiderPages, Fav Rav, Angie's List and TripAdvisor, have become an important source of leads for small business owners of all kinds. It makes perfect sense. Word of mouth has always been recognized as the best kind of advertising, and the hardest to get. So-called social media tools - like Facebook, blogs and these review sites - have made it a lot easier for customer to spread the word about your business.

Lederman: Bradley Would Give Pacquiao a Real Fight
By Michael Marley
Putting Floyd Mayweather Jr. aside, which was easy to do before he announced his ring return for Sept. 17 against live underdog Vicious Victor Ortiz, there is only one Danger Man for Manny Pacquiao.
No less a fistic authority than boxing mad pharmacist/HBO "Unofficial Judge" Harold Lederman firmly believes that another American, Tim Bradley, is a real threat to end Pacman's Reign of Terror.
"Timothy Bradley is a threat. Timothy Bradley can give Manny Pacquiao a fight, a real fight," Lederman said.
Lederman's analysis looms large now, what with the Palm Springs area fighter disengaging himself from Big Gary Shaw and apparently about to be embraced by Pacman's Sugar Daddy, Bob Arum. We all know how Uncle Roberto likes to make Pacquiao events "in house" affairs.
Arum's made no secret of his keen interest in working with Bradley. Tiny Tim was a Top Rank ringside guest on May 7 as Megamanny dominated Sugar Shame Mosley at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Heretofore, though, I was not aware of how Lederman, a guy who wears his boxing heart on his sleeve, became so enamored of Bradley's skills.
"I see Bradley as a smaller version of Evander Holyfield," the 71 year old Lederman said. "What makes Bradley so dangerous for Manny is two things. One, he leads with his head and, two, he likes to come over the top with big right hands which a southpaw can be vulnerable to.
"All in all, I think Bradley-Pacquiao would be a fun fight, a competitive fight."
Lederman may, as per usual, be right.
Checking his record, I don't see any human Billy goats on Pacman's pro resume.
Lederman thinks Juan Manuel Marquez-Pacquiao III, set for Nov. 12, will be one-sided, all Pacman all the time.
"Of their fights, this will be the easiest one for Manny. There age difference matters and so does the weight difference. Manny's a welterweight and Juan Ma is really a lightweight," Lederman said.
Asking Lederman, whose been on air for HBO going back to 1986, to pick his three favorite pugilists is like asking a grandfather to pick his favorite grandchildren.
But I asked, anyway, and Lederman invoked two obvious names and one not so obvious.
"My three favorites I'd have to say, meaning guys I personally saw fight, would be Muhammad Ali, Ray Leonard and Bad Bennie Briscoe.
"I don't have to say much about Ali or Leonard but Briscoe was the meanest man I ever saw in the ring the way he would those punches underneath his opponents. Bennie was just so vicious in the ring and such a gentleman outside of it."
The intersection of his decades as a pill dispensing pharmacist and his love for boxing are interwined for Lederman.
I asked how the former Bronx resident first got into the sport-business.
"My dad had a drugstore in The Bronx, on east 167 Street and Fox, and the great trainer Victor Valle lived three blocks away from the store," Lederman said. "That's how I first got connected to boxing was through Victor. He was a great guy."
The late Valle was mostly known for handling heavyweight contender Irish Gerry Cooney but was also a fine pro fighter in his own right.
I lived for 30 years a block away, on East 35 Street in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan, from a building where Valle worked as the super.
Noted boxing hand surgery specialist Dr. Charles Melone had an office in the building and Valle kept a mini museum of his life and times in boxing in the basement.
Sorry to go all six degrees of separation on you but…
When it comes to boxing's ills, Pharmacist Lederman has the right prescription for most if not all.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Chris Martin said he received medical clearance early last week to return from a knee injury suffered three weeks ago.
"The orthopedic surgeon said Monday it was pretty much my decision when I wanted to come back," the St. Joseph's Prep quarterback said. "I got my brace Tuesday, and I knew it was going to give me the support I needed."
Saturday, with Martin looking much like his former self and the Prep's defense mostly in shutdown mode, the quick-starting Hawks topped Parkland, 21-10, in a PIAA Class AAAA state quarterfinal at Bethlehem Liberty.
After sitting out the last two games, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound senior completed 12 of 22 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns. In the first half, when the Prep built a 21-3 advantage, he was 6 for 11 for 181 yards.

Called a "good soldier" by Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren, defenseman Andrej Meszaros will now go to war for the Boston Bruins.
The Flyers traded Meszaros to Boston on Wednesday for a conditional third-round draft pick in June. He will be reunited with his friend Zdeno Chara, the Bruins' defensive leader and his teammate on Slovakia's Olympic team.
The draft pick the Flyers acquired becomes a second-rounder if Boston reaches the conference finals and Meszaros plays in at least two-thirds of the Bruins' playoff games - or if Boston re-signs Meszaros to a contract before the start of the draft.

Candidates' paths diverge on road to Senate
Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson share similar first names - but little else.
Both candidates in this expensive and potentially decisive U.S. Senate race say they want jobs for the unemployed, solvency for Medicare and Social Security, and solutions for the rising national debt and uninsured families. But their proposals to do that split on nearly every issue, from guns and abortions to gasoline and taxes. There's a reason this Senate race is the most expensive in state history and one of the costliest in the nation this year: The decisions of Wisconsin voters will count in this election in deciding which political party controls the next U.S. Senate.
To win those votes, both campaigns answered questions from the Journal Sentinel about their positions on the issues in detailed written statements and brief interviews.
Baldwin stands to the left of President Barack Obama but has sought to moderate her positions over this campaign. A traditional moderate Republican, Thompson zigged to the right during a bitter GOP primary and is now zagging toward the middle, reversing himself and allowing that he would consider limited tax increases as part of a comprehensive budget deal and appearing to take multiple positions on Medicare over the course of the campaign.
In a phone interview, Thompson cast himself as the bipartisan leader who appealed to Wisconsin independents in the 1990s and Baldwin as a liberal with few legislative accomplishments.
"I'm a doer, a reformer, somebody who can get the budget under control and get the economy stimulated to create jobs here in America," he said.
Baldwin presented herself as a protector of average families and Thompson as a changed man who lost touch with voters in recent years while cashing in on his connections.
"My opponent and I could not have more different views . . . ," Baldwin said in her own phone interview. "I've been fighting to make the voice of the people heard, and Thompson has spent the last decade trying to make the voice of the powerful heard."
Thompson has deep experience in government from his four years as federal Health and Human Services secretary, 14 years as governor of Wisconsin and two decades as a state lawmaker. Baldwin, with long legislative experience of her own, has a chance to make history by becoming the nation's first openly gay U.S. senator and Wisconsin's first female senator.
But those parts of their résumés don't show up much in the attack ads. They focus instead on the millions of dollars that Thompson has earned from corporate clients since leaving office and Baldwin's voting record being one of the most liberal in the U.S. House.
Taxes and budget
Both candidates turn to those attacks of each other when debating taxes on the wealthy.
Baldwin favors Obama's plan to allow the tax cuts first passed under President George W. Bush to expire for couples making more than $250,000 a year. She introduced legislation to implement the so-called "Buffett rule," named after successful investor Warren Buffett, to ensure that people making more than $1 million a year have at least a 30% income tax rate and not a rate that is less than that paid by some middle-class workers.
Baldwin has said that these tax increases would help to lessen the spending cuts affecting most Americans that will also be needed to balance the federal budget. She also favors saving money by ending the war in Afghanistan and cutting military spending in other areas.
"It cannot be only spending reductions or only new revenues; it must be a balanced combination of the two," she said of the budget in a statement. "This is the same approach taken to previous budget challenges our country faced in the 1980s and 1990s."
In his campaign's statement to the Journal Sentinel for this story, Thompson said he would rely on pure spending cuts and not raise taxes at all to balance the budget, which means he would renew the Bush tax cuts for all Americans. But in an interview Thursday for the same story, Thompson took a small but significant step away from that by saying he would consider a budget deal such as $1 in new taxes for $9 in spending cuts.
"I am very skeptical of any tax increases at all, but I think we have to get every plan on the table," he said.
In the statement, Thompson said he would restrict federal taxes and spending to no more than 18.5% of the nation's economic output and put pressure on the Senate to pass a budget by cutting the salaries of some of the body's leaders if a budget isn't passed and prohibiting spending from increasing in any year in which the Senate fails to pass a budget.
He also supports vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's " Path to Prosperity" budget, which calls for major changes to Medicare, significant cuts in low-income programs such as food stamps and Medicaid, and lower tax rates for individuals and corporations paid for by closing unspecified tax deductions.
Health care
Both candidates have worked extensively on health care, and they sharply disagree on the subject.
Despite his early support for some of its elements, Thompson wants to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called "Obamacare," and replace it with a program with no definite cost estimate that would create an insurance pool for high-risk patients. The plan would also give many businesses tax credits for insuring employees, give states money to help the unemployed maintain coverage and be paid for by making changes to programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. That last provision is something that Republicans criticized Obama for doing in his own health care expansion.
"Tommy's plan would guarantee that Americans who remain in continuous insurance coverage never pay more than 150 percent of standard rates for insurance, regardless of changes in their health status," the Thompson campaign said in a statement.
Baldwin backs Obamacare because of its expansion of health care coverage and other factors such as increases in Medicare payments to providers based on the quality of their care - one of the ideas Thompson touts in his plan. It also guarantees that people with pre-existing conditions are covered, controls costs by requiring people to have insurance and allows parents to keep their children on their insurance up to age 26.
In the past, Baldwin supported a "public option" not included in the law to allow for having some people's health care costs paid by the government instead of private insurers. In the past, she has introduced bills to create a single-payer system that would have all Americans covered by the government.
On Medicare, Thompson's campaign said a week and a half ago he is open to raising the age at which future beneficiaries receive benefits and offering fewer benefits to those who have more money, saying changes are needed to keep the program from running out of money. But on Thursday, Thompson said that was not his position and pointed instead to another idea offered in recent weeks.
In this other recent proposal, he modified his support for any voucher-like program for having future enrollees buy private insurance, saying he wants to allow people to stay in Medicare or sign up for the private health care plans offered to federal employees.
Baldwin flatly opposes raising the age for Medicare beneficiaries or giving fewer benefits to wealthier people, calling the program a "promise" to Americans. She has supported the Obamacare approach of holding down payment increases to Medicare providers and allowing the federal government to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.
Baldwin said that since the Republican primary in August, Thompson had been switching his positions and trying to walk away from backing Ryan's budget and Medicare plan.
"Even as he has tried to bring new plans, they still end traditional Medicare as we know it and turn it over to the private companies," Baldwin said.
Foreign policy, defense
Thompson and Baldwin have clashed on defense issues such as Iran late in the campaign, with Thompson criticizing Baldwin for her votes against some legislation sanctioning and condemning Iran despite its belligerent leaders and Baldwin criticizing Thompson for having some past investments in companies that did business in the country.
Their positions on the Middle East have more common ground than on many other issues, since both politicians favor a withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and the use of diplomatic isolation and sanctions to keep Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon and still avoid military intervention there. Baldwin supports a quick and complete withdrawal from Afghanistan, while in his interview Thompson said he strongly favors it, but the timetable must reflect conditions in the country.

Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry
The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (abbrev: SCCCI; Chinese: 新加坡中华总商会) is a business chamber in Singapore.
Established in 1906 as the General Chinese Trade Affairs Association, the SCCCI's original purpose was to look after the interests of the Chinese business community, but it has expanded its scope over the years. It served as a guardian of Chinese customs and values, provided assistance in times of crisis and promoted business, educational, cultural and community activities, and continues to do so today.
- 1906: The SCCCI is established to champion the Chinese community and to resolve and mitigate differences among the different clans.
- 1951: The SCCCI lobbies the British colonial government to grant citizenship to Chinese immigrants who had stayed in Singapore for eight years, and finally succeeds in 1957.
- 1953: The SCCCI supports – and donates generously towards – the setting up of the Nanyang University.
- 1962: The SCCCI spearheads the task of collecting the remains of victims of the Japanese Occupation and the eventual building of the Beach Road Civilian War Memorial in 1967.
- 1964: The SCCCI building opens.
- 1966: The Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce Foundation is set up to provide financial assistance to the needy and scholarships to deserving students, and to support cultural activities and public educational campaigns.
- 1991: The SCCCI hosts the inaugural World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention in Singapore which is attended by more than 800 delegates from 75 cities and states in 30 countries and regions.
- 1993: The chamber's clan-based election system of self-imposed divisions among clan lines is abolished, hence working together as a more united community.
- 1995: The SCCCI becomes the first chamber of commerce in the region to obtain the ISO9002 certification.
- 1995: The World Chinese Business Network, an online networking website, is set up to facilitate business information exchange and networking among Chinese businessmen and entrepreneurs worldwide.
- 1997: The SCCCI's first Annual Internet Commerce Conference is organised. The event is now known as the Infocomm Commerce Conference.
- 2001: The Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is reopened to members of the public and foreign visitors as a new tourist attraction and national education centre after four years of renovation and restoration work.
- 2006: The SCCCI officially launches the Enterprise Development Centre@SCCCI (EDC@SCCCI) and Qiye Tong, the Chinese version of the EnterpriseOne portal, a one-stop online information service for small- and medium-sized enterprises.
- 2006: The SCCCI unveiled the Dendrobium Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry as its floral symbol.
- 2006: The SCCCI 100th Anniversary Commemorative Stamp Issue is launched. It is the first ever set of stamps issued by Singapore Post on behalf of a local business organisation.
- 2006: The Chamber's centennial celebrations take place, with the Asian Chinese Entrepreneurs Summit and a gala dinner as highlights.
SCCCI Building[edit]
The SCCCI Building is located on Hill Street, facing the Armenian Church. The building has a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles. Although this site has housed the SCCCI's headquarters since the early twentieth century, the current building was built only in 1963 to replace an old two-storey structure.

Increasing emphasis on the import of the package insert has been the focus of concern in clinical therapeutics as it alters drug-use decisions and, thus, the practice of medicine. A multidisciplinary group report from the American Society of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics1 (representing the Food and Drug Administration, legal counsel from the American Medical Association, and representative clinical therapists) addresses a structured posture to decide on drug selection or dosage, specifically when the circular is silent. This is a summary of that report and those recommendations.

Judith and Tom were absolutely amazing hosts.We only stayed one night, but i wish we could have stayed much longer. their kindness and hospitality were outstanding.

Just spent four early spring days at the Wren's Nest - my third time there in the past six months. The rooms and other facilities continue to be quiet, relaxing, and comfortable. It was my first stay in the slightly larger bedroom which was useful as I needed a little more room to spread out work I was doing. Also, the view into the woods and access to the back deck were also positive for this particular choice. Tim and Judith were in top form; I always love our morning conversations. Plus I find the morning breakfasts excellent and log lasting. I'm never in any rush for lunch afterwards and many times I don't really feel a need to eat again until evening. I am very happy the very little cell phone connectivity there and the total lack of wifi access at this point; others might not be as happy with this as I am, but I find I can do that when I go into town. Yes, I am looking forward to returning again.

The bedrooms were quite small, and there was no bathtub, but otherwise the experience was great. We were the only guests, which was nice, because the two bedrooms were very close to each other. The breakfasts were very nice, and the hosts were very friendly, and the price was fantastic.

Way out in the boonies, this place is perfect for what I wished to do: read, sleep, hike, and visit nearby sites. The Hoovers are friendly, informed, and helpful. I was also delighted to be asked to choose a breakfast to order each morning. The only caution I might give is if a person is of a larger size or has a lot of luggage, one might have trouble getting to the bedrooms since the main entrance to them is up a picturesque spiral staircase.

The property is beautiful, the rooms clean, the owners are sweet and the breakfast was delicious. We were only there one night but I definitely recommend it.

This place felt like it was wayyyy off the beaten path, but in reality was just a few miles from Russellville. Tom and Judith were great hosts and Judith's breakfast was fantastic. One tip - if you have large luggage stay in the Dragonfly room. Trying to get my suitcase up the spiral staircase almost killed Tom!

Ricoh Europe, London, 31 January 2014 – Just one in ten financial services leaders believe they can rapidly take advantage of new opportunities ahead or adapt to unexpected changes in the future. This is in contrast to the average of two in ten European business leaders from all industries. Alongside the need to juggle conflicting demands from consumers, regulators and shareholders, it is the speed at which they adapt to technology-led change and reengineer critical processes that is heightening the burden. The insights are revealed in a new study called The Challenge of Speed, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, and sponsored by Ricoh Europe. Financial services respondents were from retail, corporate and investment banking as well as insurance.
There is clear confidence around developing new products and services quickly. Financial services leaders ranked it joint eighth out of ten from the areas most in need of rapid change. However, the most crucial areas where financial services leaders stated they do need to rapidly change, over the next three years, are those that have already caused the industry some of its biggest headaches: adopting new technologies (first), attracting and retaining customers (second), and improving core business processes (third). And while over half (54 per cent) said they have lots of ideas to tackle the future change, they admit that they lack the ability to execute their ideas well. This is higher than any other industry, where the average is 43 per cent.
The significant gap between generating ideas to change and executing them may be linked to the financial services leaders caution over managing multiple stakeholders and regulations. They cited the biggest disadvantages of changing processes too quickly as 1) a loss of customers (38 per cent), 2) increased expense (36 per cent), and 3) the company being exposed to new unmitigated risks (35 per cent).
Carsten Bruhn, Executive Vice President, Ricoh Europe says, "2014, 2015 and 2016 still appear to present a myriad of conflicting challenges for financial services in its race to change. But by tackling the crucial areas highlighted, they can quickly turn the disadvantages to benefits. They can improve their responsiveness to client needs, be more effective and decrease exposure to risk."
"Financial services is the industry closest to digital transformation and this latest study shows that it is using technology extensively to operate faster – more than in any other industry. However, unconnected legacy systems continue to slow them down. There is an urgent need to further review technology assets and simplify core information and document processes."
Financial services executives agree. The biggest barriers to executing ideas to increase the speed at which they are changing and achieve greater business agility are process related. The first obstacle is their bureaucratic decision making processes, followed by the need to effectively link technology platforms (second), and insufficient access to information (third). Then there are additional barriers to optimising core business processes. Poor governance of change management is ranked as the most obtrusive, followed by time constraints on executives and legacy technology platforms.
Bruhn says, "Juggling so many obstacles, while at the same time trying to focus on client services, transform internal processes and ensure regulatory compliance is a monumental task. It's no wonder that financial services leaders are feeling under pressure. They can relieve some of the stress by drawing on more expertise and drive internal change programmes to successfully realise new ways of working. They can also further employ customer communication management services to enhance client relationships. And while these critical processes are being optimised, they can invest more of their time and resources in core business activities and driving the organisation into the future."

Districts today are trying to increase student engagement in order to ultimately increase student achievement. Blended learning, the teaching practice that combines teaching methods from both face-to-face and online learning, offers a model of instruction to engage students in and out of the classroom. It has proven highly effective in helping schools and districts address the challenges of student achievement, limited resources, and the expectations of 21st century learners.
North Kansas City School District (NKCSD) shares how the district uses online learning in the classroom and beyond to provide a personalized and connected learning experience. Using a 1-1 laptop program, every high school student participates in blended learning, where the teacher utilizes online learning during class and posts assignments and discussion questions for after the bell rings. A representative from NKCSD shares how the district trains teachers and administrators using modeling to create effective blended classes.
Finally, also reviewed is how Blackboard online learning solutions help districts to enhance classroom instruction by extending their courses online for an engaging, individualized and effective learning experience.
