Aurora Public Schools has earned a Digital Learning Award for its use of pioneering digital resources to promote engaging and personalized classrooms.

Presented by Knovation, the Digital Learning Awards recognizes the top 100 school districts nationwide implementing digital resources based on their usage of netTrekker, which delivers learning-ready content to teachers and students. Schools nationwide use netTrekker to deliver more than 360,000 resources organized by grade level, content type, readability, subject and educational theme for use in the classroom and at home.

“We are inspired by districts using 21st century practices to enhance the educational experience,” said Randy Wilhelm, CEO of Knovation. “Aurora Public Schools’ use of digital resources demonstrates its commitment to create meaningful learning experiences to engage all learners.”

“The use of such online resources by our teachers is fostering the creation of blended learning environments for our students,” said Kevin Riebau, Educational Technology Program Director for APS.  “This is important as our students engage in learning aligned to the new, rigorous, Colorado Academic Standards which include the use of technology.”
