from Technology & Learning
A Tradition of Excellence
When T&L ran its first Awards of Excellence program back in 1982, Seymour Papert's Logo programming language was all the rage, and Classroom Computer News (this magazine's birth name) was printing pages of code for those early adopters in schools eager to share learning activities designed for the Apple 11, Radio Shack's TRS-80, the Commodore PET, the IBM PC, and other groundbreaking computers. That year we recognized Scholastic's Bank Street Writer, The Learning Company's Moptown, and McGraw Hill's Geography Search, among other "best of the best" products.
Though the technologies have advanced at a dizzying rate over the past 25 years, this awards program has remained much the same. Educators are still at the core of the judging process (see "Awards of Excellence 2007 Judges"), with hours of good old-fashioned test-driving conducted in school labs and with detailed write-ups provided to our editorial staff. The bottom-line criteria are also the same: Is the program a "best of breed" or a groundbreaker? Is it pedagogically sound? A crucial solution? User-friendly? Innovative? And, as with the judges from the earliest days of the program, today's evaluators bring to the task a sense of enthusiasm and passion for what they do.
At this quarter-century mark in our Awards of Excellence program, we are happy to recognize 54 high-quality offerings for the 21st-century education market. From 120 entries, our 32 educator-judges and editorial team had the tough job of whittling down this broad selection of practical and innovative tools and resources.
This year's two top winners showcase differentiated instruction—a focus on teaching core skills in a selfpaced online environment and a goal of measurably improving student achievement. Additional trends spotted in this year's crop of products include software solutions for managing and monitoring classroom computers—an essential in this age of increasing laptop and one-to-one programs. Cool tools that encourage innovation in lesson design and assessment are also on the rise, with e-portfolio applications and a whole new palette of creative interactive elements that educators can integrate into the curriculum to engage their "digital native" students. As well, content remains king, with many winners offering deep wells of curriculum resources that can be accessed within secure environments.
