Riverdeep Learning Village® recognized as an outstanding educational product by Technology & Learning magazine
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., October 5, 2006 – Technology & Learning has named Riverdeep Learning Village® portal as an Award of Excellence – Legacy Award winner in the magazine’s prestigious three-year-old recognition program. The 15 software and Web products honored by Technology & Learning include products which have continued to offer educators and students with the utmost experiences through their ability to evolve with the ever-changing world of technology.
Riverdeep Learning Village enables district administrators to develop, align and distribute standards-based curriculum to all schools and all levels of teachers. It is a flexible framework which can be adapted to a variety of instructional methodologies and to all areas within a district’s curriculum. With Riverdeep Learning Village, a district can align standards to their curriculum, making it accessible to all stakeholders within a school district, including administrators, teachers, students and parents. Riverdeep Learning Village has been designed to adapt to how a district functions rather than forcing a district to conform to a predefined construct.
School districts find immediate benefit using Riverdeep Learning Village as it enables personalization to meet a district’s needs and align curriculum content to ever-changing standards. Riverdeep Learning Village was designed for ease of use for district and local administrators to manage curriculum services from their own desktop.
This year’s winners were chosen by 35 educator-judges, who test drove more than 110 entries, logging in many hours in computer labs at San Francisco Bay Area schools. Entries included Web-, CD-, and DVD-based programs, as well as software running on handheld devices and several special hardware/software combination packages. Detailed descriptions and judges comments will be available in Technology & Learning’s December 2006 Awards Issue. (www.techlearning.com)
“We are very proud that Riverdeep Learning Village has been recognized by Technology & Learning as an innovative educational technology product that offers a high quality experience for students and educators,” said Riverdeep’s Chief Education Officer Gail Elizabeth Pierson.
