Learning.com Opens New Online Store to Make Its Web-Based Curriculum Available to Teachers

    Teachers Can Purchase Directly and Begin Using Immediately for
                           Their Classrooms
PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Learning.com, the premier provider of Web-delivered curriculum,
announces that teachers may now directly buy its award-winning
curriculum solutions for use in their classrooms. Through an
easy-to-use online Classroom Store, teachers can purchase and access
both EasyTech, a K-8 technology literacy curriculum, and Aha!Math, a
K-5 supplemental math curriculum.

   The new online store makes it easy for teachers, principals,
technology coordinators and other educators to use classroom funds to
purchase Learning.com's products, providing an excellent resource for
classroom use, summer school programs, extended day programs and
computer lab curriculum.

   "We heard from educators that they have long wanted to use their
discretionary classroom funds to buy our products," says William
Kelly, CEO of Learning.com. "With these focused, Web-delivered
solutions, teachers can deliver individualized instruction to exactly
the students who need it, right when they need it."

   The Learning.com Classroom Store is designed to let teachers make
purchases with just a credit card, rather than using a school purchase
order. Because Learning.com's solutions are Web-delivered, teachers
get same-day access to the products, and can immediately incorporate
their purchases into their instructional day. The solutions may be
purchased for as little as $48 and used with 10 students for 90 days.
Additional subscriptions may be purchased for more students.

   Aha!Math, a K-5 supplemental math solution, supports teachers with
a research-based instructional model to build both computational
fluency and contextual understanding.

   EasyTech, an award-winning K-8 technology literacy curriculum,
supports teachers to effectively integrate technology skills into
their math, science, language arts and social studies instruction.
Self-paced interactive tutorials engage students in technology-based
activities they find relevant, all within core curriculum.

   Both EasyTech and Aha!Math are based on a powerful Digital
Learning Environment that makes it simple for teachers to get started
with just a few clicks of the mouse. Teachers can customize
assignments, individualize instruction and quickly access valuable
reports on student progress. Additionally, teachers can even keep
their own lessons and activities on Learning.com's Digital Learning
Environment to make it easy to assign and track all of their
curriculum in one place.

environments are needed to take full advantage of Learning.com's
products. All that is necessary is Internet access, a Web browser and
a free Flash player.

school-wide implementation, providing multi-level purchase discounts
for these larger purchases, and full professional development to
support implementation across a larger number of classrooms.
