EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Providing Educational Software, Hardware and Early Learning products
at academic prices for the educational industry.
Educational Resources has provided educators and schools with the tools
and services necessary to achieve their instructional technology goals
since 1985. As the nation's largest source of educational software, hardware,
accessories, and supplemental products, the company serves educators in
more than 16,000 school districts grades K-12. Educational Resources represents
more than 300 vendors with over 5,000 educational software titles, supplemental
software, and mixed-media curriculum courseware, as well as peripherals
and accessories.
Educational Resources' products are available to educators through a
knowledgeable team of instructional consultants. These consultants assist
educators with:
- Selecting appropriate hardware and software to meet your needs
- Discussing available programs
- Understanding specific state funding programs
- Providing custom-crafted, budget-friendly solutions
OUR VISION
Our mission at Educational Resources is to be the leader in providing
the largest selection of innovative software, instructional materials
and services with the highest level of customer satisfaction to the education
market. We do this today by providing educators with one stop shopping
for all of the best educational software and peripherals. We are number
#1 in the industry because you can count on Educational Resources to have
the product expertise to help you select the best products for your learning
environment and your students.
Will our mission and role change as technology changes? In some ways,
yes. Just as the market moved from disk-based content to CD-ROM based
content, the market will over the next few years move to more Internet
delivered content. At Educational Resources, we already provide some Internet
delivered programs and will grow this product line significantly in the
coming years. In this way, we will continue to provide you with the best
programs in the format that best fits your needs. Imagine being able to
subscribe to a personalized list of software to meet the individual needs
of each of your students and only have to pay for the time the software
was actually used. This is possible when we blend the potential of Internet
delivered curriculum with the one stop shopping business of Educational
Resources.
So, yes, in some ways we will change. In the most important ways, however,
we will remain the same. We will continue to listen to your needs and
provide the best educational resources with the highest level of customer
satisfaction.
