eSchool News webinar reveals unique solution for tracking digital devices in schools

Jan. 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. – With technology’s growing presence in schools, laptop security is an increasingly difficult problem for many IT directors. And with budget cuts made every year, a low-cost, highly effective solution is nearly impossible to find.

When George J. Weeks purchased Computrace technology to protect his son’s computer, he had no idea how impactful this decision would be.  After his son’s laptop was stolen during a home burglary he was amazed when it was recovered within a few months using Computrace.

Join Weeks, director of technology at Glassboro Public Schools, as he shares his experiences with managing a 2,350 student network. Tim Williams, lifecycle management product manager at Absolute Software, will also join in the live webinar to discuss how Computrace works and why it is a unique, low-cost solution to track and manage your digital assets.

Attendees will learn how to:
• Remotely locate devices and quickly determine if they are missing or simply misplaced
• Save budget they don’t have by recovering (versus replacing) stolen devices
• Enforce school policy that all student devices remain on school property

Sponsored by Absolute, the webinar will take place Wednesday, January 25 at 2:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m. PST). The presentation is expected to last one hour, and registration is free.
