Meet OKI’s #1 Fans: Jo and Chris

OKI was delighted to receive such a great response to our products and solutions at ISTE 2011! So many administrators, IT professionals, and educators told us what they love about OKI and how our printing solutions helped bring color to their classrooms and to their school systems.

Several ISTE-goers – including Jo Russell of Reston, VA, and Chris Wiggins of Philadelphia, PA – took the time to deliver their testimonials on camera so that we could share them with you. Be sure to check-out Jo and Chris on OKI’s YouTube Channel. Just click the links below.

What's Not To Love?

We hope you enjoyed ISTE 2011 and your visit to the City of Brotherly Love, and that you had the opportunity to visit OKI and participate in the Riddle Me OKI challenge. Maybe you were even one of the lucky few who took home an iPad 2 or a $25 Staples gift card!

We had a lot of visitors to the OKI booth and were thrilled to see so many educators, IT professionals and administrators take so much interest in learning how OKI can help bring high-value, affordable printing solutions to the classroom and your school system.

Did you notice the video camera floating around the OKI booth, filming Riddle Me OKI participants in action? We did our best to capture the energy and excitement at ISTE within our video montage. Click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2GFMBQUw9o to see it for yourself, and find out why so many are in love with OKI’s printing solutions for education.

Did you get to snap a picture of yourself along with other ISTE-goers at OKI’s banner printing station? Were you able to see all of OKI’s templates for classroom posters and handouts? If not, OKI has extended its special ISTE offer for a limited time only. Take advantage of extended warranties for the C610, B430 and MB400 printers, or receive a free demo unit with any School Communications Pack DVD purchase!

Visit http://www.okidata.com/ or contact Mike Garofola (mike.garofola@okidata.com) for answers to your education technology needs, because although ISTE has come to an end, the opportunity to bring reliable, cost-effective printing solutions to the classroom and your school system through OKI certainly has not! What’s not to love?

Printable Digital Posters Bring Color to the Classroom!

It seems that there is a way to do everything online now—listen to the latest music, manage bank accounts, even make restaurant reservations days in advance. There’s yet another trend to be added to this list—poster creation. Rather than worrying about paint spillage or young students drawing on each other with markers, there is now a mess- and hassle-free way for students to create posters online!

Websites such as Glogster and Block Posters provide outlets for students to put their creativity to use by composing digital posters and presentations featuring graphics, words and pictures in a rainbow of colors. According to several ISTE workshop leaders, digital posters are an exceptional way for students to use their imagination to produce outstanding results that can be put on display on school websites, emailed to parents, or printed for a classroom showcase.

A digitally-produced poster offers a completely different effect than a hand-made poster, and with OKI products such as the C530 and the C711, educators can print banner-size posters to be hung for all to see to give students a sense of self-gratification and confidence in their creative abilities.

Bring students’ creations to life and add color to your classroom with OKI’s high-quality color printers! The C530 and C711 models will be present at booth #725. Come experience the HD color printing technology for yourself, and be sure to check out the Riddle Me OKI challenge for your chance to win an iPad 2 each day!
