lessons and student badges to reward behavior and encourage students
to participate. As a result, educators can use real-time student
responses to instantly customize and differentiate any lesson plan to
create a dynamic learning environment both inside and beyond the
classroom

About the CODiE Awards Program
The SIIA CODiE Awards were established in 1986 so that pioneers of the
then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other's
work. During the years that followed, the program evolved into three
tracks (content, education, and software) and then further evolved into
two (business technology and education technology) - but our core
mission has always remained the same: recognizing excellence by honoring
the software and information industry's leading products and services.
Award winners are able to leverage their CODiE Award as a prestigious
representation of outstanding achievement and vision in the software and
information industries.
