Democrasoft and TregoED Announce K12 Partnership

SANTA ROSA, Calif., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Democrasoft, Inc., (OTC: Pinksheets: DEMO) creator of the award-winning online discussion platform, Collaborize Classroom (http://collaborizeclassroom.com), and TregoED, creator of the award-winning SCAN critical thinking tools (http://tregoed.org), today announced that they are joining forces to advance K12 education through the development of critical thinking and online discussion technology.

New national learning standards, known as the Common Core State Standards (http://corestandards.org), require that students develop critical thinking and communication skills in order to be ready for both college and future careers. Through the partnership announced today, Democrasoft and TregoED will provide free resources, free professional development, and free online topic-based lessons to teach higher-level thinking skills, respect for different points-of-view, and effective in-person and online conversation skills.

"We are thrilled to form a strategic alliance with TregoED," says Richard Lang, CEO of Democrasoft and co-creator of Collaborize Classroom. "Their SCAN critical thinking tools fit hand-in-glove with our online collaborative education platform. Teachers will now be able to launch topic-based discussions that prepare students for SCAN lessons, as well as follow-on topics that solidify and expand upon what they learn during the SCAN activity."

"We, at TregoED are excited about the synergy our partnership will create for students," said Kathryn Blackburn, Executive Director of TregoED, a leader in helping educational organizations make and implement great decisions.  "Using Collaborize Classroom to front load information and reinforce SCAN activities with writing activities will increase the rigor and relevance of the lessons, as well as help students learn better decision-making skills."
