PTC Wizard Wins eSchool Media 2012 Readers' Choice Award

Ed-Tech Decision Makers Recognize Leading Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling Solution as Invaluable Tool for 2012. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) January 10, 2012 - This past fall eSchool News asked their readers and visitors - comprised of educators, administrators and technologists - to nominate Ed-tech product or service vendors that they have found to be indispensable in creating a successful educational program. With over 1,400 readers responding, hundreds of Ed-tech vendors were nominated, but only 50, including PTC Wizard, received sufficient nominations to be awarded as winners.

"Before using this product, we scheduled parents for conferences by manual labor, and by the time the schedule got to the parent, often (the parent's availability had) changed. Now, parents can choose times that are convenient for them with this intuitive, online program," said Lana Geselbracht, Engaged Learning Coordinator for Illinois' Oak Park and River Forest High School about her reason for nominating PTC Wizard. Geselbracht added "The teachers can see who is signing up… and can contact parents they really wish to see who haven't signed up yet. Those who administer the program can set up break times for teachers (and) help those who don't have internet access. The statistics report is also helpful in informing administrators of signup progress or final tallies of those signed up. We have been using this product for our 3,000 students' parents at our high school since 2007, and it gets better every year."

With student information systems, computers, mobile devices, social media and more rapidly becoming an intrinsic aspect of education, eSchool Media provides news and guidance to schools and districts seeking the best way to integrate technology and education.

"As parent-teacher conferences play a key role in K-12 education, our main goal is making sure that scheduling these meetings is as easy and straightforward as possible. Receiving this recognition from schools nationwide highlights the value we strive to provide," says Shammai Ellman founder and CEO of PTC Wizard. Ellman predicted that "2012 will be a big year for PTC Wizard with new features and integrations that will absolutely delight administrators, principals and other Ed-tech users."
