1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information, contact: Christine Weiser 32 nd ANNUAL AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE WINNERS ANNOUNCED BY TECH & LEARNING MAGAZINE Outstanding Education Technology Products Saluted SAN BRUNO, CA (October 31, 2014) Tech & Learning magazine today named 102 education technology products as winners in its prestigious 32-year-old recognition program. Honored software, hardware, network and web products include innovative applications that break new ground as well as those that added significant enhancements to proven education tools. "Once again this year our judges had the pleasurable duty to evaluate more than 150 edtech products," says Tech & Learning Content Director Kevin Hogan. "Each is put through the proverbial wringer: How well does it work in the classroom environment? How easy is it for students and teacher to use? And, most importantly, how effective is it in improving learning? Not a simple task. Congratulations to all of the winners." Entries were divided into two categories: New Products and Best Upgraded Products. Winning selections include software and web-based products, as well as hardware and AV tools. Among the high-quality offerings being honored are resources addressing management, safety, communication, differentiated learning, assessment, and other key areas in education. Please join us in congratulating the New Product winners of the 2014 Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence. Look for detailed descriptions and judges comments in the December 2014 Awards Issue.
