Introduction
Current Locations
Free Week of Camp
One
of the most common concerns expressed by parents and administrators
regarding their schools' technology
program is...
"How do we
ensure that our students and teachers are using technology to its
fullest?"
Many
members of the school who have raised funds for an updated computer
lab soon realize that having a
current computer lab is only the first step in utilizing technology
effectively on a K-8 level. Schools have the daunting obligation to
keep up with the latest technologies on behalf of their students and
teachers. Even with all the most current technological tools
available, schools still must find effective leaders to get the most
out of innovative integration. The DELIVERY of the technology
instruction is the key ingredient, and since 2005, that's where
PlanetBravo has come in.
We teach K-8 computer classes for your school.
The classroom teachers gain
experience and
confidence in working with technology while
they and their students receive effective,
standards-based lessons in our classes.
We upgrade and
maintain your technology.
PlanetBravo can modernize the technology programs at
a school, allowing for roaming profiles of all users, server-based
sharing, streaming video and chat tools, hourly back-ups of all
data, and so much more. It is even possible for teachers to
access their school files from home at several locations.
Written
and led by PlanetBravo Academic Director and California State
Certified teacher Danny Pezzotta, PlanetBravo's
technology curriculum is upgraded each and every year to
meet the changing needs of our times. It is the most comprehensive
program available at the K-8 level, integrating state
content-standards with technology. Upon completion of the full
curriculum, students will have learned how to responsibly use
computers and the internet to record and edit video projects, animate
digital diagrams, design websites, post wikis and blogs, along with
the basics of typing, spreadsheet analysis, proper researching
techniques, and troubleshooting typical computer issues.
For
the past six years, our curriculum and services have been used by
many local organizations. Currently, you can find PlanetBravo
daytime classes in the Los Angeles Unified, Santa Monica Malibu
Unified, Redondo Beach Unified, and Glendale Unified School
Districts. We can also be found at several different private
institutions throughout the area as well. Check out our
Location Map to see everywhere you can find us.
PlanetBravo
provides technology instruction with a content-standards integrated
curriculum to schools in the Los Angeles area at an affordable cost,
and the initial consultation is absolutely FREE.
Our goal is
to bring your school to the cutting edge of technology. We can
assist you in this swiftly, and most importantly, at an affordable
rate for your school.

School Partnership
Program
PlanetBravo provides affordable technical support,
configurations,
modernization, as well as facilitates K-8 Technology Curriculum!
Bringing
PlanetBravo to your school can be very rewarding, both for the school
and for you! If you help us to bring daytime classes to your school,
your hard work will be rewarded with a Free Week of Camp!
Keep reading to find out more.
How does the "Free
Week of Camp"
School Partnership Offer work?
Just by introducing PlanetBravo
to your school's PTA and/or Administration for a meeting about our
program, we will extend you HALF-OFF this summer's camp tuition.
If the meeting leads to a partnership with your
school for daytime classes, you receive a Free Week of Summer Camp -
Worth up to $500!
It's already happened four times in the last year! Your
school receives an official multimedia education program, and your child
receives a free week of summer camp (over 40 hours of fun and learning).

Why this offer?
If you look at every school in
which PlanetBravo facilitates the technology program, all of them were a
result of a parent like you saying, "Our school needs this," and
introducing the program to the PTA/Administration that made it official.
If your school has a computer lab that is only used by a few
teachers, our program will change that and thoroughly make use of your
technology.
What does PlanetBravo's program do?
Your school inherits a fully-integrated technology curriculum for Grades
K-8. Every week, our instructor provides hands-on lessons
class-by-class that not only correspond to the California State Content
Standards (in all major subjects), but also adhere to the latest and
greatest technology standards.
Our staff is fun, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We
really understand educational technology and the important role it plays
in our children's futures.
What topics do the classes cover?
Depending on the grade level, the students utilize all sorts of
important and advanced multimedia tools with us.
Lessons include: spreadsheets, slideshows, digital video editing,
animation, programming, website design, keyboarding/typing, word
processing, responsible and safe internet research, emailing, podcasting,
and so much more!
Do we have to wait until next school year
to get started?
Not at all. We have started our program in schools at various points
throughout the year. We've kicked off our technology lessons in
October, November, and even January at one school.
Is it expensive?
You will be surprised how much less this program costs than paying a
full-time teacher, computer lab aide, or technical support company, and
you receive so much more. We're technology teachers and specialists.
Even better, you don't have to worry about exceeding the number of hours
for staff because we take care of all that.

In what schools has PlanetBravo worked?
We have worked with over 20 schools in Los Angeles County, both in-school and after-school.
Our recent partners include: St. Timothy School, Fairburn Ave.
School, Brockton Ave. School, Castle Heights Elementary, Alta Vista
School, Muir Elementary, Grant Elementary, Hillel Hebrew Academy,
and Webster Ave. School to name a
few.
