Aldine ISD ranked 22nd among the Top 100 Overall School Districts that Knovation recognized.

Knovation looked at school districts’ use of digital resources. The company selected the Top 100 School Districts based on their usage of netTrekker. Schools nationwide use netTrekker to deliver learning-ready content to teachers and students. The system delivers more than 360,000 resources for use in the classroom and at home.

According to Randy Wilhelm, campuses using technology inspire him and the folks at Knovation. Wilhelm is CEO of the company.

“Districts using 21st century practices to enhance the educational experience inspire us,” said Wilhelm. “Aldine ISD demonstrates a strong commitment to use digital resources. The district seeks to create meaningful learning experiences to engage all learners.”

Cindy Buchanan is proud of this recognition. Buchanan serves as the program director of library media services.

“It is an honor to earn a Digital Learning Award and to be among the Top 100 school districts in the nation,” said Buchanan. “Our wonderful information literacy specialists are a huge reason for our success. They work closely with teachers. And they provide our students with the resources they need to be successful 21st Century learners.

“In AISD, we value digital content and learning tools. If effective and relevant, they can drive higher order thinking and increase student engagement. Tools such as netTrekker help personalize learning and help increase academic success.”
