National School Boards Association Announces Treering one of the EdTech Innovation Winners

The National School Boards Association (NSBA) announced today the six companies selected for its annual Technology Innovation Showcase. “The Technology Innovation Showcase was created to highlight emerging companies that are using new technologies for products or services in K-12 education in ways that were virtually impossible to deliver otherwise,” said Thomas J. Gentzel, NSBA’s Executive Director. “The 2014 companies serve as a reminder to always look for new approaches to old challenges.”

Treering – A new generation of yearbooks allows all students to upload personal photos and memories to a special set of pages that will be printed in their personal copy of the school yearbook, while also saving their districts from costly stacks of unsold copies.

Submissions were solicited from start-up companies providing new approaches to challenges across the K-12 curriculum, administrative operations, and communication channels. Reviewers included educators from NSBA’s “20 to Watch,” a recognition program that honors emerging education technology leaders.

“The rapid growth of the education market, driven by investors and creative entrepreneurs, makes it difficult for the 90,000 board members and their school districts to stay abreast of the latest developments,” said Ann Flynn, NSBA’s Director of Education Technology. “NSBA can serve as a bridge between the entrepreneurial community and the nation’s decision-makers by highlighting innovative solutions designed to inspire and ignite district discussions that challenge how they think about their traditional way of doing things.”

The 2014 class will be featured in an exclusive area of the exhibition and participate in a Tech Innovation Showcase panel during the NSBA Annual Conference in New Orleans, April 5-7, 2014. Later this spring, they will be featured in NSBA’s magazine for school leaders, American School Board Journal, and participate in a webinar hosted by NSBA’s Technology Leadership Network (TLN).

TLN, launched in 1985 by NSBA and its state school boards associations, helps advance the wise use of technology in K-12 education to support learning, operations, and communications.
