By supporting the technology program for over 40 schools, PlanetBravo is extremely fortunate to have a front-row seat to the latest educational technologies at play today. We observe daily what works effectively without much cost or effort, and we also see the purchases that drain fundraising budgets without remarkable results.
We know that teachers already have so much to maintain in their classrooms; we purposely choose the paths of least resistance when it comes to the technology they and their students use. We make sure it’s going to work; we ensure that it’s effortless to learn; and we make certain it serves a real purpose in the classroom that makes sense to the teachers.
Did we mention we just do tech support, too? If you’re all set with your school tech, but just need help to get it all working again – we are absolutely the best at this! Unlike technical support companies that are experts in all things tech, we’re based in education first and foremost, so we make sure everything is set up best for the teachers’ practical use. We don’t just make sure it works, we make sure it works for them.
Whether you are looking for ideas on where to invest your next technology campaign, or just need technical support at your school, PlanetBravo is equipped to help. We begin with a free consultation. We learn about your current uses of technology in the school, and share ideas with what could be done in the short-term and over a three-year period. The first consultation is completely free, and schools have regularly found it’s given them a solid perspective on moving forward independently. Nothing makes us happier than a school that is using every bit of its technology effectively and regularly. We go to all lengths to ensure each school has technology that works.
Your school’s designated consultant will meet monthly (usually with a technology committee), and our support personnel is always on call to come to the school or remote-in to fix the issues at hand. PlanetBravo averages 300 support tickets each month, 99% of which are fixed within 24 hours. We guarantee your happiness with those results.
Complete our Consultation Request Form today, and we’ll look forward to connecting with you.
In 2010, PlanetBravo received a grant to create an Advanced Technology Magnet school. That school (Thomas Edison Advanced Technology Magnet) is alive and well in Glendale, CA, and we credit it for giving birth to the Technology Integration Specialist (TIS) position. PlanetBravo now provides an expert in technology integration to your school for a low cost to meet individually with your teachers on how to best integrate technology in their lessons. Our TIS crafts lessons alongside the instructors… (to be continued)

If you would like to explore the possibilities of implementing a PlanetBravo program at your school, we would be happy to speak with you about designing a custom program.
Our first step towards seeing if PlanetBravo would be a good fit is a simple, quick, and free consultation. This involves coming to your school and discussing the current status and needs of your technology program.
Some of these meetings result in a partnership, and even those that don't, give the schools many ideas for directions they can take next with their program.
