BigMarker.com Offers Free, Lifetime Web Conferencing and Project Management Tools for Schools, Educators, and Students

Chicago, IL, February 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- BigMarker.com (www.bigmarker.com), the social network for Communities, is having a giveaway of lifetime proportions. Anyone who creates a Private Community on BigMarker before March 1st, 2012 will retain that Community for life, free of charge. Whether members wish to use a Private Community now or later, anyone who upgrades before March 1st will keep the Private Community, free of charge, forever.

“BigMarker is one of those programs that was a no brainer for our staff…You have to love it when the technology doesn’t get in the way of learning but instead enhances the experience for everyone involved,” stated Jeff Utecht (www.thethinkingstick.com/), author and international educator in Bangkok, Thailand.

BigMarker Communities are ideal for educators attempting to make a difference on a budget:

· Meet anytime in the Virtual Conference Room
· Meet face-to-face, one-on-one, one-on-many, or many-on-many

Streamline project management by creating, assigning, and prioritizing tasks

· Share files
· Touch base regularly, outside of a Conference, with the Community Bulletin
· Chart progress with the Task Timeline and Community Calendar
· Send Community newsletters with updates and announcements
· Send Kudos to thank fellow teachers or encourage students

“We strongly believe in the importance of education and hope that teachers and students alike can leverage BigMarker to make education more accessible,” said Joe Yeoman, a veteran educator and BigMarker’s Outreach Coordinator. “We know that educators are often trying to do so much with so little financial support, so we wanted to offer schools, teachers, and students the chance to benefit from a free, lifetime Private Community.”

Anyone who creates a Private Community on BigMarker before March 1st, 2012 will retain that Community for life, free of charge. Private Communities created after March 1st, 2012 will cost $19.95 a month. BigMarker believes in open and accessible collaboration, and for this reason has committed to always offering free Public Communities with unlimited web conferencing and collaboration tools. To create a Community, first sign up at BigMarker.com (http://www.bigmarker.com/signup).
