EDTECH’S
BEST
ince 1982, T&L has sought out and celebrated the best
in education technology through our annual Awards
of Excellence. The contest used to be a simple review
of speeds and feeds: What was the fastest dot matrix
printer? How long did it take for that 2400 baud modem
to connect? How did your students take to Oregon Trail?
It’s not that easy anymore. As the tech used in schools has
become more sophisticated, so has the way we judge it. Speeds and
feeds don’t cut it when you are analyzing content management
systems or a reading curriculum package. We want to know about
how these products and services improve teaching and learning
through the stories of those who use them.
First, we asked the manufacturers who submitted products to provide us with case studies
about how districts have been putting their technology through its paces. Then, we reached out to
a number of our esteemed advisors, edtech leaders from
around the country who manage tech for school districts,
to get their take on the entries.
Advisors selected 10 finalists in three categories—
Best use of edtech in a classroom, school, or district.
All finalists will be invited to a special reception at the
SPEEDS AND
TCEA show in San Antonio, TX next month, where the
FEEDS DON’T CUT
top winners for each category will be announced. Be
