| ATOMIC LEARNING WINS EDNET AWARD |
| |
Atomic Learning received the EdNET Rookie of the Year award by The
Heller Reports, a QED company and leading provider of education market
news and events. This latest recognition is Atomic Learning’s fifth
industry award in the past 18 months.
The Heller Reports created the EdNET
Industry Awards program in 1992 to champion the efforts of progressive
organizations helping to revitalize the nation’s educational system.
The program has become a focal point of the EdNET Conference,
the education market’s premier networking conference. The Rookie of the
Year award honors an organization that has the greatest potential to
become a key player in the technology industry in the coming years
"Improving education by innovating
means taking risks. It's very gratifying to see such risk taking
yielding beneficial results for students and schools as well becoming
the basis for a self-sustaining business model. I'm delighted that
Atomic Learning is getting this special recognition from the education
industry.” said Nelson Heller, president of The Heller Reports. “We
have high expectations for their continued growth and contributions to
education.”
“We are honored to once again be
recognized by the education industry as a leader in providing
technology learning and support to schools,” said Chuck Amos, Atomic
Learning’s CEO. “This latest award from The Heller Reports validates
our findings that Atomic Learning’s software training is the product of
choice for today’s educators.”
