Find Out How 9Packets Helped A School Network Quickly Transition Their Operation Online.

When the Covid Pandemic restrictions forced Children’s Learning Centres of Fairfield County to close the doors of all 8 of their schools to over 950 students and 250 educators - they came to 9Packets to move their operations online.

The Challenges Faced Were Significant

“Unfortunately, our digital infrastructure, built primarily to support in-class learning, was not up to the task of supporting distance learning.”

  • New technology had to be implemented – fast
  • Educational staff and parents required appropriate training
  • Existing programs needed to be adapted for distance learning
  • Parents and guardians had to become co-educators

A Phased Solution – For A Complex Problem

  • Drew up a strategic vision and secured board and government funding approvals
  • Identified and implemented suitable tech stack
  • Secured a sponsorship from Google
  • Built-out all necessary physical infrastructure (from networking to audio-visual equipment)
  • Fully migrated from the old platform to the new one on the cloud
  • Hired appropriate bilingual staff to help train staff and parents
  • Implemented new workflows – from communication plans to file management

“Through Joe’s heroic efforts we were able to stand-up a Blended Pre-K Learning Platform to partner with our parents as co-educators to provide both an in-class and at-home learning experience.”

“Joe is a true entrepreneur in every sense of the word, always exploring, inquiring and testing. It was a pleasure to work with him at ThirdAge because he was willing to try anything to help the program become ever-more successful. I also got to see him in-action with a few of his later ventures, and I could tell he was fearless. What may seem like risk to others, appears as a test-and-learn operation to him.”
