Peachjar Earns Tech & Learning ‘Best of Show’ Award at ISTE 2018

The nation’s leading digital flyer system, Peachjar was selected for its quality, effectiveness, ease of use and impact

Peachjar, the nation’s leading digital flyer system used by more than 12,000 K-12 schools in North America, today announced it was selected as a “Best of Show” winner by Tech & Learning at the 2018 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) annual conference, which attracted more than 20,000 educators to Chicago. Peachjar will be featured with other winners in the August issue of Tech & Learning magazine, a leading K-12 education technology resource.

The Tech & Learning Best of Show winners were chosen by an anonymous panel of educator judges who scoured the conference floor and evaluated products in areas such as quality and effectiveness, ease of use and creative use of technology. The judges then met to decide which technologies will have the most impact and most deserve the honor.  

“We’re thrilled that Peachjar earned this prestigious distinction from Tech & Learning,” said Cara Aley, COO of Peachjar. “Peachjar is gaining tremendous traction among K-12 schools, camps and community organizations by providing the tools they need to distribute and receive information about extracurricular and enrichment activities. Our selection as an ISTE Best of Show winner demonstrates that the education industry is paying close attention to the importance of effective communications in school districts. We’re honored that Tech & Learning has recognized our tool for making a major impact.”

Peachjar’s digital flyer service keeps parents up-to-date about enrichment and education opportunities and raises visibility for community organizations and their programs.
