Best Special Needs Solution and
Best Early Learning Comprehensive Solution

April 12, 2018 - MobyMax, the most acclaimed differentiated learning solution in the United States, has been awarded the 2018 EdTech Digest Award for best e-learning, blended learning, or flipped solution.

EdTech Digest Awards are presented annually to the most exceptional innovators, leaders, and trendsetters in education technology. Award finalists and winners are selected from thousands of entries made by educators who use technology to enhance, improve, and transform their everyday instruction.

“We are gratified that our focus on finding and fixing missing skills has been recognized by the thousands of teachers who use our tools,” said MobyMax co-founder Glynn Willett. “Given how time-crunched and under-resourced so many teachers are, we’re thrilled we are able to provide a suite of solutions teachers can use for every student every day.”

It takes one to know how to help one.

That is why I became a special education teacher.

Today, I teach 7^th grade at The Lowell School in Queens. I know first-hand what struggling students go through, because I used to be just like them. When I was a kid, there were many times that I hated going to school because I couldn’t ‘get’ the lesson or understand what was happening in class. I was failing, but I didn’t know why.

I started my career in general ed. But I remembered teachers who made it fun for me to learn certain things that just weren’t coming easily. I wanted to do that for other students, so I switched to Special Ed.

My first year as a Special Ed teacher in 2010 was almost overwhelming. I had students on all different grade levels and with a variety of learning styles. Figuring out how to help each of them was a real challenge. Some needed to hear things read aloud; that could be a huge distraction for others. Some might be performing three grade levels above; others were several grades below. Yet they were all in the same 7^th grade class!

For help, I turned to technology -- specifically, the tools from MobyMax. What a lifesaver!

Our school is a 12:1:1 classroom setting, with two teachers per class. All of our students have different learning disabilities, but MobyMax helps each one feel successful.
