The district earned the award for using digital resources to enhance students’ classroom experience.

The company presents the Digital Learning Awards to the top 100 U.S. districts using applications netTrekker and icurio for the 2015-2016 school year. These districts use netTrekker or icurio to introduce classroom-ready digital learning resources, maximizing teaching and learning experiences.

The awards are based upon extent of usage and presented to districts that utilize the available digital learning resources to their highest potential.

“The Digital Learning Awards honor school districts that have made, or are making, the shift to teaching with digital resources and open education resources,” said Randy Wilhelm, CEO of Knovation. “We recognize the importance of making available vetted, aligned and ready–to–use resources to support the advancement of personalized learning for every student and giving teachers the luxury of time saved in their pursuit of those assets.”

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

“The Award is a great honor,” said Buchanan. “Our success is in large part due to information literacy specialists. They work closely with teachers. And they provide our students with the resources they need to be successful.

“In AISD, we value effective and relevant digital content and learning tools. They drive higher order thinking and increase student engagement and increase academic success.”

Congratulations!
