May 11, 2020 - MobyMax, the most widely adopted differentiated learning solution in the U.S., has been awarded the 2020 EdTech Awards for Best Early Learning Solution and Best Skills Solution (a.k.a. 21st-Century Skills Solution).

The EdTech 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.

Both the Early Learning Solution award and the Best Skills Solution award recognize Moby’s comprehensive and groundbreaking tools, which have been in particularly high demand since Coronavirus forced almost every school in America to transition to online learning almost overnight in mid-March.

A teacher’s perspective on what coronavirus has meant for her and her students.

GUEST COLUMN | by Monica Contreras

When school closures were first announced, it took a while for it to sink in what exactly that meant for me and my students. One thing became apparent immediately: the threat of coronavirus would significantly change the way we deliver instruction. As quickly as possible, we would have to learn how to get meaningful material to our students virtually.

March 6, 2020 - MobyMax, the most widely adopted differentiated learning solution in the US., has announced that it will provide its award-winning educational software free to all schools and school districts forced to close to protect against COVID-19. The comprehensive software curriculum spans Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies for students in grades K-8 and meets the needs of struggling students as well as those working on grade level and beyond.

The announcement comes as some schools in New York have already closed and as Seattle schools and others also prepare for possible closure. “Most American school districts do not have plans in place to keep students learning if their physical structures need to be shuttered,” said MobyMax co-founder Glynn Willett. “The solution is to make online learning easily available to any school/district that needs it. Our software will be free to any affected school or school district that wants to keep teaching.”
