We are thrilled to announce that Vivi has won the Tech & Learning Award of Excellence: Back to School 2023 in both the Primary and Secondary Education categories. These awards are presented by Tech & Learning, a leading resource for K-12 education technology.
The Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence Program, “The Best Tools for Back to School” is focused on identifying products and solutions to support educators in any learning environment. Vivi was recognized by Tech & Learning’s judges as being the only all-in-one communication suite designed for education as a single solution for wireless screen sharing, digital signage, and emergency alerts. Reviewers pointed to Vivi’s ease-of-use and education-specific tools as particularly compelling features for schools.
“With ESSER funding coming to an end, and emerging tech like AI exploding into the market with little guidance as to how best to integrate this new technology into the classroom, it’s more important than ever to curate the many education products on the market to ensure your investments support innovative teaching and learning,” says Tech & Learning Content Director Christine Weiser. “Our judges chose the following nominated products based on their versatility, compatibility, value, and ability to help schools solve challenges and support continuous instruction.”
Vivi solves several challenges for K-12 educators and those who support them, including:
- Giving teachers more flexibility in their classrooms: By eliminating the need for cables and docking stations and because Vivi is truly device- and operating system-agnostic, teachers and students can now share their screens wirelessly from anywhere in the classroom regardless of device.
- Promoting student engagement: Seamless wireless screen sharing encourages classroom collaboration and removes barriers to student participation. Up to four students can share their work with the entire class or in small groups, while teachers maintain full control with preview and approval capabilities built in.
- Maximizing return from existing classroom technologies, while standardizing the in-class experience: Vivi is designed to be truly device-agnostic and is fully interoperable with interactive flat panels (IFPs), projectors, and TV displays. This enables tech teams to standardize the end-user experience by providing a seamless and equitable experience for screen sharing in every classroom.
- Simplifying management and reducing tech support for IT teams: The administration platform, Vivi Central, makes it easy for administrators to manage all account settings, room names, boxes, and user settings from the cloud.
- Extending the reach of campus communications: Bringing digital signage onto classroom displays increases the effectiveness of school messaging by putting communications in front of students where they spend most of their school day, whenever displays are not being used for instruction.
- Increasing student safety: Visual emergency alerts can be displayed on demand, regardless of whether displays are powered on at the time, supplementing other emergency notification systems in use.
We appreciate Tech & Learning’s recognition of Vivi as a standout back-to-school solution that equips students, teachers, and school leaders to connect, communicate, and collaborate efficiently and effectively while on campus.
