Goalbook Toolkit honored with “New Product” award

Goalbook Toolkit was recently honored with Tech & Learning magazine’s Award of Excellence. The prestigious 32-year-old program recognizes the best new and updated products in edtech.

"Once again this year our judges had the pleasurable duty to evaluate more than 150 edtech products," said Tech & Learning Content Director Kevin Hogan. "Each is put through the proverbial wringer: How well does it work in the classroom environment? How easy is it for students and teacher to use? And, most importantly, how effective is it in improving learning? Not a simple task. Congratulations to all of the winners."

The “New Product” Award of Excellence is given to recently released edtech products that have taken the education world by storm and are already making a difference in students’ lives.

“It is such an honor to receive this Award of Excellence from Tech & Learning,” said Daniel Jhin Yoo, the co-founder and CEO of Goalbook. “Our team has worked very hard to make Goalbook Toolkit a go-to resource for teachers, and earning such prominent industry recognition will help us share our message with an even wider audience.”

Goalbook Toolkit helps teachers incorporate research-based strategies into learning activities. For example, an educator may reference the Toolkit to design an instructional plan that helps students develop attentive listening, solve problems independently, or cope with separation from a parent.

A detailed description of Goalbook Toolkit and judges’ comments about why it was selected for the award will be included in the December 2014 Awards issue of Tech & Learning.
