New Atomic Learning Website Introduced at NECC

Atomic Learning is working to bring much exciting new functionality to its users. At NECC 2009, the team introduced a new website to visitors for the first time. While not yet available to everyone, the new site is being experienced by several districts for testing and evaluation. It will make Atomic Learning even easier to use, share, and explore.

Along with a new look, Atomic Learning has enhanced focus on professional development, technology integration, and assistive technology. We're going from "How do I do that?" to "How do I apply that?".

Feedback from all has been tremendously positive. Look for a worldwide launch August 1, 2009. We can't wait to show it to you!

After high school Brad studied journalism at the University of Western Australia, returned home to Canada, married his high school sweetheart and started his own weekly newspaper. At the age of 24 he won the Young Entrepreneur of Canada for the work he had done in getting newspapers into the digital age.
