“The competition is particularly steep this year during the 24th Annual SIIA CODiE Awards, making selection as a CODiE Finalist a real achievement,” said SIIA President Ken Wasch. “All the companies on this year’s list of CODiE Finalists should feel justifiably proud of their accomplishment in making it to this stage, and have much excitement to look forward to regarding the upcoming CODiE Awards voting.”
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.
“We are honored to be selected as a CODiE finalist; it is a very competitive and prestigious award,” said Chet Linton, CEO, School Improvement Network. “We see real gains in student achievement by schools that use PD 360 and it is especially gratifying that our industry also recognizes the effectiveness of this professional learning resource. School Improvement Network is committed to improving the quality of education for all students through the more effective use of technology.”
