Tech & Learning magazine has named the winners of the Best of 2023 contest, which recognizes educational technology that exceptionally supported teachers and students in 2023.
Tech & Learning asked our team of expert judges to evaluate hundreds of nominations to select products they believed supported education this past year. Each nominee answered the following questions: What specific problem does this product solve? How did your product exceptionally support teaching and learning in 2023? How does your product address the challenges facing education today? The products below were selected as winners by our judges based on this criteria.
“2023 will surely be remembered as ‘the year of AI,’ but there were plenty of examples of products that integrated a variety of innovative technology to help to improve teaching and learning,” said Christine Weiser, Content Director for Tech & Learning. “Congratulations to the following winners for supporting innovation in schools.”
