Summary: Jeff sits down with Jon Roepke to discuss the 2015 line up of products from Belkin. Learn why Teachers and Schools are using Belkin Products to redefine the traditional classroom today! <br> About Belkin<br> While the majority of companies in the education hardware tech space focus on one particular area, Belkin looks at a classroom trying to integrate technology and asks the question – how could we make this easier for the teachers and students? Our solutions address collaboration (Table stage stands and stage app), protection (AirProtect Sleeve) and connectivity.

Chet dedicates several hours of his day on EDU issues. Chet’s extensive nonprofit work revolves around youth, education, and closing the achievement gap. He is a founder of the DaVinci family of charter schools in Hawthorne, CA. The schools include a campus for STEM, Design, Communications, and a new model for K-8 education. He was also instrumental in planning Internet access to all California public schools as a member of the California Education Technology Task Force.<br> Items Mentioned on Todays Show<br> <br> * Adapter Kit<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6dRDnvFkVs" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6dRDnvFkVs</a><br> <br> <br> * Air Protect Always-On Sleeve for Chromebooks<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97EG4BFQBQU" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97EG4BFQBQU</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Belkin Education Hero Video<br> <br> * <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsWXpft_fJw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsWXpft_fJw</a><br> <br> Links of interest<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.belkin.com/us/" target="_blank">http://www.belkin.com/us/</a><br> * <a href="http://www.Twitter.com/Belkin" target="_blank">http://www.Twitter.com/Belkin</a><br> <br> About my Guest<br> Jon Roepke, Director of Product Management for Belkin’s Education division, leads the creation and fulfillment of Belkin’s Education strategy and award winning product line focused on enabling seamless integration of technology to enhance the learning experience.
