Company Recognized For Creating the Best Educational Tools and Best Resources for Learning Differences in the Industry

 Mar 21, 2019 – MobyMax, the most widely adopted edtech platform in the U.S., has won two coveted 2019 National Parenting Product Awards (NAPPA): Best Educational Tools and for Best Resources for Learning Differences.

In the Best Educational Tools category, Moby Suite was honored for its effectiveness in helping struggling learners quickly and catch up to grade level, benefits acknowledged by Caitlin Corlett, a 7th grade special education teacher at Lowell School in Whitestone, NY. “Moby’s 1:1 technology gives us the ability to differentiate for individual students in a way that benefits all,” she reports.

A personalized learning tool has helped Eldon Middle School see a dramatic decrease in the number of failing grades in 10 years.

Mustang Hour, a 40-minute program students attend four days a week during fourth period, has been the reason things are turning around, Principal Shaun Fischer said.

"Last spring, a group of teachers and myself met pretty much weekly to develop the plan that we're using this year, and it has turned out to be the most effective intervention system we've used," Fischer said.

For the past nine years he's been with the Eldon R-1 School District, he said, the middle school has been trying different ways to help struggling students. At the district's Jan. 22 school board meeting, Fischer explained the Mustang Hour program and the ways it's helped students so far.
