eSchoolPLUS Family App Named Best Mobile Student Tracking App in 2015 Best Educational Software Awards Program
Bethlehem, Pa. (PRWEB) April 30, 2015 -- SunGard K-12 Education today announced that the eSchoolPLUS Family App was named Best Mobile Student Tracking App in the 21st Annual Best Educational Software (BESSIES) Awards. Sponsored by ComputED Gazette, the BESSIES recognizes innovative and content-rich programs and websites that provide parents and teachers with technology to foster educational excellence.
Designed to tighten the feedback loop between schools and families, the eSchoolPLUS Family App puts just-in-time information that supports student achievement at the fingertips of parents/guardians and students on their mobile device. Simple navigation quickly connects students, parents, and guardians with classwork, schedules, attendance, grades, activities, and more. By displaying data through the lens of action, the Family App goes beyond providing a static display of repository data to offering information in a way that helps drive effective decision making by students and parents. The Family App is available for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on the App Store, for Android devices on Google Play, and for Kindle on Amazon.
Joel Hames, vice president of product, says SunGard K-12 Education is honored by this prestigious award.
“We’re pleased that BESSIES judges recognized the eSchoolPLUS Family App in the Teacher Tools category,” he says. “While this tool is primarily designed to connect families and students with key information that supports student achievement, it also helps schools by creating opportunities for effective collaboration with families. With the Family App, teachers and administrators can put more just-in-time information at the fingertips of parents and students so they can structure what happens at home to bolster their student’s success.”
