"LanSchool's mission to empower educators as they inspire better student outcomes has never been stronger, and our team is honored to receive a Smart Media award this year. We are thankful to Academics' Choice for the significant role they play in helping educators choose the best and most innovative technology and educational resources for their schools." - Coby Gurr, General Manager at Lenovo Software

"Two years ago we decided to rewrite our already successful comic app because we knew we could make it even better. This award helps to confirm that we achieved that goal. Not only is Pixton EDU the easiest to use and most graphically beautiful writing tool in the edtech market but it adds real value in the classroom. Learning is enhanced when lessons are personalized and students can see themselves in the material. Teaching is made easier when the medium is fun and relatable. We are honoured with this award and will continue to strive towards making the classroom experience a fun and engaging one." - Clive Goodinson, CEO, Pixton Comics

Many of the products that are evaluated by the Academics' Choice Awards team are donated to a variety of worthy charities including the Kids In Need Foundation and the Toys for Tots Foundation.
