On October 7, 2020, Boxlight UK and EMEA held its first virtual event for Partners. The event began with Boxlight CEO Michael Pope and Sahara CEO Mark Starkey sharing the combined mission and vision for the company. The acquisition of Sahara Presentation Systems PLC will greatly strengthen the presence in the technology solutions markets globally. Michael and Mark helped set the tone for the rest of this inaugural event, reinforcing that Boxlight is in a powerful position to become the leader in education technology worldwide.

Moving forward, activation of Mimio products will be different. For Boxlight hardware such as our Interactive Displays and MimioFrame, a user will be provided a license key. This will allow them to activate additional software now included with each new panel and display.

On August 20, 2020, we held our first Boxlight Virtual Event for Partners. The event began with CEO Michael Pope sharing a short video of the successful and supportive relationship we have with Clayton County Public Schools. If you haven’t already done so, listen to a podcast with both April Mayo, Director of Instructional Technology with CCPS, and Dr. Alex Leis, CEO of Boxlight-EOS: Clayton County Schools GA – The Return to School and the Use of High Tech Professional Development. This was followed by a brief discussion of the state of education and our mission in the global smart education and learning market, as well as Boxlight financial and product highlights.

Boxlight-EOS understands the value of using teaching and learning technology so that it works for everyone in the classroom. The EOS Educator Essentials Professional Development Package helps teachers make the most of their technology to deliver meaningful live lessons no matter the student’s location — in-class, remote, or hybrid. As we see more and more schools switch to remote or hybrid learning this school year, we want to help teachers meet the challenges of providing quality instruction whatever the classroom environment.

Boxlight has partnered with Samsung to provide an impressive education bundle: classroom displays, teaching and learning software, and professional development.

As an esteemed Partner, we want you to know about exciting changes at Boxlight. Register today for our first PartnerConnect virtual event on Thursday, August 20, 2020. The event will begin at 12:00 PM Eastern and will include multiple speakers and sessions spotlighting the Boxlight vision for 2020 and beyond.

Boxlight is excited to announce that the Boxlight Store for accessories and software is now open to serve customers in the UK. We understand the need to expedite the process of purchasing accessories for your Boxlight hardware. On the homepage, simply click ‘Accessories’ and purchase items such as cables, remote controls, and stylus pens. Help educators maintain the flow of learning by having the accessories they need in one convenient place.

Boxlight is proud to announce the launch of our new Blended Learning Platform, MimioConnect®. Teachers can deliver richly interactive lessons, from a web-enabled device, for both synchronous and asynchronous learning. MimioConnect is designed to make it easier for teachers to teach and students to learn.

In an effort to improve user experience, the Partner Resources site will be consolidated from two portals – North American portal and global portal – to one. This means that users going to the old platform/site on Boxlight.com or mimio.boxlight.com will be redirected to the new site.

The new Partner Resources site has a more expansive view, making it easier to view all the Boxlight resources available thus improving user experience.

The consolidated site will include content on the new Distance Teaching Essentials (DTE) and Platform Essentials (PE) programs. These programs are designed to help educators succeed with distance learning by providing purposeful, easy to access professional development and teaching tools.
