Tech for Teachers Awards 2019 – Results Revealed!
Virtual reality continues to impress teachers, with Avantis Education’s Class VR gaining five stars for a second year running…
Tech for Teachers is a unique education awards scheme, with genuine classroom impact at its heart.
In order to be recognised by the judges, products and resources must be as effective as they are innovative, demonstrating clear benefits for teaching and learning, value for money, and genuinely long-term potential.
For the 2019 presentations, entries were invited in September 2018 across five curriculum-linked categories, and – in order that as wide a range of submissions as possible could be considered – were absolutely free.
Following a rigorous shortlisting process, a panel of expert judges with direct experience of the secondary sector have now assigned five-, four- and three-star winners in each category, as well as two worthy runners up.
