The prestigious CODiE Awards recognize the companies producing the most innovative education technology products across the country and around the world.

“Abre has won awards in our short tenure but winning a CODiE, and then winning their top award, has been great validation for our team and our product vision,” explains CEO Damon Ragusa. “The CODiE Awards are one of the few programs that really provide valid feedback from educators.”

An SIIA CODiE Award win is a prestigious honor, following rigorous reviews by expert judges including educators and administrators whose evaluations determined the finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products, and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.

“For thirty-five years, the CODiE Awards have recognized the best of the best among EdTech products and services,” said SIIA President Jeff Joseph. “This year’s class deserves special recognition, representing the critical tools supporting educators, learners, school officials, and parents as they have transitioned to distance learning and school administration.
