ScholarBuys and Acer Host a Cubs Rooftop Event

CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. - May 14, 2013 - PRLog -- ScholarBuys and Acer partnered on Wednesday, May 8th to host a rooftop event at Beyond the Ivy in Chicago, Illinois.  The day began with a brief presentation from Chris Cayemburg of Acer speaking on the capabilities of Acer tablets and Chromebooks in the education field.

Acer’s machines are a great fit for the education field due to their durability, versatility, battery life, and most importantly price point.  Acer tablets and Chromebooks are reliable machines that are user friendly as well as light-weight for children to manage.  In an era of flipped classrooms and BYOD devices, it is important for schools to have the tools in place for students to succeed.  The flipped classroom model has been adopted by many districts experimenting with alternative learning methods.  The flipped classroom is based upon an interactive learning environment concept which requires that students watch tutorials and videos outside of the classroom, at home, or possibly a study hall. The next day, classroom time is spent working on an interactive activity with peers and the instructor, elaborating on the material that the student learned the night before. This style of learning has been received well, as it has created classrooms in which students collaboratively work on activities and discuss concepts in an open atmosphere headed up by their instructor. Acer machines offer a solution for school districts looking to implement “test” flipped classrooms as well as implement the usage of BYOD devices.

Susan Juskey and Kristen Johnson attended the event on behalf of ScholarBuys.

Susan Juskey, Sales Executive for the Midwest territory commented, “We had a great turn out to the event and Acer provided a very informative presentation on their products- Lots of interested schools in their products!”

Kristen Johnson, Marketing Coordinator stated, “The event with Acer was a wonderful way to meet face-to-face with many of our customers and discuss solutions that would work well for the education space. We hope to do more events like this for our customers in the future.”
