00:00:05.442 --> 00:00:09.231
Welcome to Spotlight for Success brought to you by American Boot Company.
00:00:09.231 --> 00:00:14.654
We are here at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference with Chaz Harris.
00:00:15.096 --> 00:00:15.336
Hi
00:00:15.601 --> 00:00:16.484
With ClassLink.
00:00:16.524 --> 00:00:16.864
Yes!
00:00:17.588 --> 00:00:21.810
Yes, tell us a little bit about yourself, chaz, and what brings you to the Georgia ETC.
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.550
So I am a partner relationship manager at ClassLink.
00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:29.827
It will be my three-year anniversary on the 15th of this month.
00:00:29.847 --> 00:00:31.050
Congratulations.
00:00:31.071 --> 00:00:31.513
Thank you.
00:00:31.513 --> 00:00:33.026
I love it at ClassLink.
00:00:33.026 --> 00:00:47.905
You know we help all school districts access all the applications that they need access to seamlessly through single sign-on, and so I like getting all the application providers integrated, like yourself.
00:00:48.789 --> 00:00:52.250
Wonderful, we love being a ChassLink certified partner.
00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:57.185
It's been a great experience for us and a great way to help educators.
00:00:57.466 --> 00:01:09.403
Yes, I really enjoy getting to impact over 20, I think we're at 26 million users worldwide, so I love being able to make that impact.
00:01:09.582 --> 00:01:14.965
You know, being a former teacher, I always was thinking about, like you know, moving out of the classroom.
00:01:14.965 --> 00:01:25.533
How am I going to continue to make that impact, and by working with ClassLink, I'm able to impact so many more students than I would have ever impacted in the classroom.
00:01:25.813 --> 00:01:26.034
Wow,
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.698
so I really love it.
00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:29.225
That's fantastic.
00:01:29.225 --> 00:01:31.647
What did you teach when you were in the classroom
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.647
So as a teacher, I taught elementary school.
00:01:34.647 --> 00:01:36.905
So second through fifth grade
00:01:37.046 --> 00:01:37.768
Nice.
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.349
I was, my favorite was second.
00:01:40.349 --> 00:01:47.444
I love the little ones because they can be so independent if you give them the opportunity to be independent.
00:01:47.444 --> 00:01:58.284
So I like to, you know, have fun with them, teach them still, run into them a lot, and you know they all remember me as the lady that taught them how to make ice cream.
00:02:00.064 --> 00:02:01.108
Oh, that's wonderful.
00:02:01.108 --> 00:02:02.846
Definitely love that so much.
00:02:02.846 --> 00:02:04.302
Oh, that's great.
00:02:04.843 --> 00:02:10.454
And so now you're here, what kind of connections are you looking or have you made here at the Georgia ETC?
00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:25.419
So out here at GA ETC, I'm looking to connect with any vendors, application providers that want to work with ClassLink, integrate their application into ClassLink for free, because I mean, that's a lot of money, you know,
00:02:25.561 --> 00:02:26.544
Yeah, it's wonderful.
00:02:27.441 --> 00:02:38.151
And so being able to work with all the school districts we're in like a third of the school districts in the country we got some statewide contracts and we also work internationally.
00:02:38.151 --> 00:02:45.905
So just, you know making those connections, helping them integrate, and then you know doing some collaborative marketing, like we're doing right now there.
00:02:45.905 --> 00:02:48.949
We're doing right now to get their name out there.
00:02:49.570 --> 00:02:50.513
That's great, Chaz.
00:02:50.513 --> 00:02:54.673
And how can people find out more about what you do with ClassLink.
00:02:54.733 --> 00:03:03.663
