About the Program:

It's the number one question asked each year at the annual International Society for Technology in Education: “See anything amazing?”
We will have answers for Tech & Learning's ISTE 2018 Best of Show Awards. This special marketing program celebrates those products and services that show the greatest promise according to the country's most tech-savvy educators. Awards will be judged and awarded by NewBay Media publications AV Technology, and Tech & Learning magazines. ISTE exhibitors may submit a product for consideration by one or more of these leading publications, and may submit multiple products for consideration.

Here’s how it works: Selected Tech & Learning and AV Technology advisors will scour the show floor on the first day of ISTE 2018, investigating the latest and greatest announcements from participating vendors. The judges will each rate their impressions on a sliding scale, then meet to decide on which technologies could have the most impact in the classroom and thus deserves the “amazing” moniker. The recipients will be announced on TechLearning.com and AVNetwork.com before the conclusion of ISTE 2018. Winners will receive a certificate that can be displayed at the booth and will receive a mention online and in the print August Best of ISTE 2018 issue.

While Tech & Learning’s decades-old Award of Excellence involves advisors judging products after an extensive hands-on experience, the T&L ISTE 2018 Best of Show focuses on the potential of the tech — Which are the game changers?
