MARCH 31, 2022 | Brooklyn, NY - InnovateEDU’s product Landing Zone, an edtech cloud based software to enable best in class enterprise cloud data infrastructure for all K12 districts, was named winner of The EdTech Awards 2022 District Data Solution category. Celebrating its 12th year, the US-based awards program is the world's largest recognition program for education technology, recognizing the biggest names in edtech – and those who soon will be.
"As events unfold on the world stage that seem to inch ever closer to a precipice unknown, we are reminded that the leaders and innovators of education technology have always worked on the edge," said Victor Rivero, who as Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, oversees the program.
"The future-focused work they do is inspired by the infinite potential of all people to learn and thrive. It's pushed forward by the human spirit. It's the light that even through the darkest times always shines through," Rivero said.
The EdTech Awards recognize people—and the products they produce and lives they shape— with three main honors:
The EdTech Cool Tool Awards
The EdTech Leadership Awards, and
The EdTech Trendsetter Awards.
“The Landing Zone team thanks the EdTech Awards for the honor of being named the District Data Solution winner,” said Erin Mote, Executive Director of InnovateEDU. “We are committed to providing our schools and districts with the best product and support possible to ensure that they have actionable, accurate data and visualizations, in order to provide the best opportunities for all students.”
