Edsby named Trendsetter With Traction by SIIA

Edsby a “ground-breaking product making watch-worthy impressions”

The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) has bestowed another award on Edsby.

The annual conference of the SIIA’s Education Technology Industry Network (ETIN) this week in Denver, Colorado, the Education Industry Symposium, featured Edsby in a track on management systems as a Trendsetter with Traction, characterizing it as a “ground-breaking product making watch-worthy impressions.”

The symposium is the leading conference for the K-12 and higher education technology market.

Edsby won a CODiE award for best classroom management system from the SIIA earlier this year, one of the highest honors in the software and information industry.

According to the SIIA, trendsetters at the EIS event were selected on the basis of sound educational principles and innovative technology, having entered the market no more than five years ago and having created substantial awareness among students, educators and other ed tech companies.

This is the latest in a long list of recent awards for Edsby.
