School Improvement Network’s PD 360 Wins Scholastic Best in Tech Award


August 11, 2009 – Salt Lake City, UT – School Improvement Network is proud to announce that their premier on-demand professional learning resource, PD 360, has been named a Scholastic Administrator’s Best in Tech winner in the Professional Resource Category. The Best in Tech winners were recognized at a formal award ceremony at NECC 2009 in Washington DC in June. Award winners were handpicked and carefully evaluated by Scholastic’s expert administrator-level reviewers.

 
Best in Tech is awarded to products that are innovative technology solutions for schools,” said Michele Robinson, Group Publisher, Scholastic Administrator. “The reviewers chose PD 360 because it can be individualized; they use experts that teachers respect; plus real classroom examples are shown, using real teachers and administrators.”
 
Over 250,000 educators at over 7000 schools in every state, and nearly all territories, and Canadian provinces use PD 360 to access hundreds of short, easy-to-use video segments that feature the leading experts and present real classroom, best-practice examples. Teachers and administrators are impressed by both the quality and content of PD 360’s library. PD 360 also provides access to a learning community made up of the largest group of educators in the United States sharing their professional learning ideas and expertise online.
 
 “School Improvement Network is honored to be in this select group of ‘Best in Tech’ award winners. Scholastic Administrator uses specially selected expert reviewers which makes this a very coveted award,” said Chet Linton, CEO, School Improvement Network. “Our latest research once again shows real gains in student achievement by schools that use PD 360 and it is especially gratifying that Scholastic recognizes PD 360’s effectiveness. School Improvement Network is committed to improving the quality of education for all students through the more effective use of technology.”
