0:05 Welcome to Spotlight for Success brought to you by American Boot Company. We are here at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference with Chaz Harris. Hi With ClassLink. Yes! Yes, tell us a little bit about yourself, chaz, and what brings you to the Georgia ETC. So I am a partner relationship manager at ClassLink. It will be my three-year anniversary on the 15th of this month. Congratulations. Thank you. I love it at ClassLink. 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.
0:48 Wonderful, we love being a ChassLink certified partner. It's been a great experience for us and a great way to help educators. 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. You know, being a former teacher, I always was thinking about, like you know, moving out of the classroom. 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. Wow, so I really love it. That's fantastic.
1:29 What did you teach when you were in the classroom So as a teacher, I taught elementary school. So second through fifth grade Nice. I was, my favorite was second. I love the little ones because they can be so independent if you give them the opportunity to be independent. 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. Oh, that's wonderful. Definitely love that so much. Oh, that's great. And so now you're here, what kind of connections are you looking or have you made here at the Georgia ETC?
2:10 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, Yeah, it's wonderful. 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. 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. We're doing right now to get their name out there. That's great, Chaz. And how can people find out more about what you do with ClassLink.
