As schools decide which technology will debut in their classrooms this fall, IT administrators and decision makers can rely on the proven value of Intel Learning Series Software and Lenovo's classroom-ready Classmate+ laptops and ThinkCentre TINY for the ideal learning experience," said Michael de la Cruz, senior global sales and marketing manager, World Ahead Education Team, Intel.
