MINNEAPOLIS - Nov. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- myON (http://www.myon.com/) was recently honored as a Best Updated Product in Tech & Learning magazine’s 32nd Annual Awards of Excellence (http://www.techlearning.com/section/AwardsofExcellence). The prestigious award 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 (http://www.techlearning.com/index) 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 “Best Upgrade” Award of Excellence is given to products that have made significant enhancements since the previous version of the same product and evolved with the changing technology to continue to offer the highest quality experiences for educators and students.

"myON has invested a significant amount of time in the development of our personalized literacy platform. In less than four years, we have grown from just 800 titles to nearly 8,000 titles and have launched our literacy toolkit to further enhance each learner’s reading experience,” said Todd Brekhus, president of myON. “We take great pride in partnering with over 6,000 schools using myON today to ensure that we are on target with our development efforts to continue to foster the love of reading in all students. To be recognized by an organization like Tech & Learning, is verification that we are on the right track.”

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

myON has more than 7,000 titles kids can enjoy anytime and anywhere on the award-winning digital literacy platform (http://thefutureinreading.myon.com/overview/complete-lite...). For more information, please visit www.myON.com.
