Extreme Technology Makeover: Education Edition
Northwood School District Gets a Super Upgrade

Over the summer, CheqTel installed a brand new computer and server system in the Northwood School District and became the charter member of CheqTel's innovative Unified Education Network. "Before, we had so many different kinds of machines...there was no continuity," says Audrey Visger, administrative assistant. Now, every computer and printer is brand new and the same brand. "Everything's working better and faster," Visger says. "We're super-happy. The support and the people at CheqTel have been wonderful." CheqTel opened a Northwood helpline so that teachers and staff can contact CheqTel directly if they have any questions.

Northwood students are benefiting from a vastly improved computer lab where there is no longer frustration over slow machines, unreliable Internet connections or erratic printers. And that's just the beginning: soon students will be able to take online classes in order to get advanced credit toward college or to make up past work. "[The new system] brings our students and staff into state-of-the-art computer availability for teaching and learning," says Don Anderson, District Administrator. "We appreciate and thank CheqTel and its employees for their professionalism and work ethic."
