We’re excited to announce that, for the second year in a row, the Sora reading app was named a Tech & Learning Best of Show winner at ISTE 2023!

The award celebrates the products — and the businesses behind them — exhibited at the ISTELive23 show that are transforming education in schools around the world. The winners are selected by panels of professional users and editors. Evaluation criteria included ease of use, value, uniqueness in the market, and proof that the product helped make teachers’ lives easier and supported student achievement.

“We received an impressive array of nominations for this year’s awards,” says Christine Weiser, content director for Tech & Learning. “Our judges chose the products that they believed best supported innovation in the classroom and district. Congratulations to our winners!”
