💾 Before “cleaning up your computer” meant cloud storage and automatic updates… there was Windows 95

The tools have changed, but the goal hasn’t: helping our education network understand, manage, and care for the technology that supports learning and work.

✨Your computer works hard and it deserves a refresh too

🧼 Gently clean keyboards & screens according to your device care instructions

We were proud to join educators and partners at the AI in Ed Summit hosted by MEECL on Friday

The future of AI isn’t about tech alone; it’s about the people & organizations making thoughtful, responsible choices about how these tools are introduced, governed & used to support learning

New year, cleaner workspace 🗂️

January is a great time to tidy up the files, folders, and downloads that quietly slow us down all year long. A few small habits can make a big difference in performance, productivity, and peace of mind.

✔️ Archive
✔️ Delete
✔️ Folders
