NIEHS highlights JITTEIS as a success story under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
In the summer of 2009, the Worker Education and Training Program of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded BanDeMar Networks a grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the maturation of the Just-Iin-Time Training for Emergency Incidents System. In 2010, the new JITTEIS was deployed to broadcast safety training and preparedness videos to cell phones (regardless of model or carrier) in training exercises and actual incidents throughout North America (see 2010 news archive). In recognition of the hard work and dedication of the entire BanDeMar Networks staff, NIEHS has featured JITTEIS in its ARRA Success page.

Cell Podium launches the Global Microscope Portal for Earth Science Education
BanDeMar Networks is developing an Earth Science learning management system called the Global Microscope Portal that enables high school teachers to use live data from NASA's environmental monitoring satellites in their classrooms. Teachers and students will observe and analyze the latest global datasets from dozens of different satellite sensors and NASA research teams, using their own computers and the Global Microscope spherical display. Under an award from the highly competitive NASA K-12 NASA Cooperative Agreement Notice, Liberty Science Center will use the Global Microscope Portal in a multi-year science education program that includes training teachers on the use of NASA data in their lesson plans.
