"This program is a great free service offered to all K-12 schools in the state to ensure they are getting a quality product at a great price," said Karen Pacunas, Illinois Learning Technology Purchase Program Facilitator. Jeffery A. Corkin, CEO of Washington School Information Processing Cooperative (WSIPC) added "Microsoft Software has become as necessary as a backpack for today's students. Teachers and parents also need the software if they are actively participating in their children's education." The Student Select program allows students, their parents, teachers and school staff to purchase one copy per product version per student, teacher or staff. JourneyEd handles the entire purchase transaction, including shipping the order directly to the customer. There is no charge for these services provided by Educational Resources and JourneyEd. |
