SAM Labs reduces teacher workload, increases teacher confidence, and increases K12 student engagement in STEM, STEAM, and Computer Science
🌟 Thrilled to announce that ClassLink has approved SAM Labs as a partner! 🚀 ClassLink stands out in an environment where some major players make integration challenging. 🔗 In EdTech, impact on students depends on the strength of our ecosystem. 🏫 ClassLink puts students, teachers, and schools first. 🔧 They know that the ease with which we simplify teachers' lives is directly linked to how integrated our tools are. ❗️Let's call a spade a spade, if you wish to be considered by schools, you need ClassLink. So, given their size and importance, ClassLink COULD do the bare minimum. 💡 What does ClassLink do? They double down on integration support, answer every email, call, and request for advice immediately and then some. 🌟 They are exceptional for their support and generosity, and they go beyond that. 🌐 They invest in the whole ecosystem, advising employees and founders, helping them network, and helping them grow. 🏆 They set a high standard for the industry, one we can only wish to replicate. 👏 Special shout-out to Stephanie Beagle, Sergio Yepes, Kourosh Mirzaei, and Junio Vitorino from our team for their stellar work in implementing ClassLink SSO. 🎉 We also celebrate Fred Wolfe, a SAM Labs alumnus who is now part of the ClassLink family. 🌟 Patrick Devanney, Gregg Calvaruso, and Berj Akian at ClassLink, your outstanding leadership and "pay it forward" attitude, and that of the whole ClassLink family truly make a difference. Thank you. Check out ClassLink's blog post to learn more about the other EdTech companies joining the Classlink partnership: https://lnkd.in/ekzTsGJ3
