June 22, 2021 (Fort Collins, CO) – The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) announced the recipients of their 2021 SETDA State Achievement Awards at their Emerging Trends forum on June 15, 2021. The Arkansas Department of Education was named the award winner in the Digital Content category for their work with MyVRSpot and their state branded Arkansas Digital Sandbox solution.
“We are excited to see our partnership with the ADE being recognized at a national level,” says Michael Kessler, Founder and COO of MyVRSpot. The solution has evolved so much since initial roll-out with the state almost ten years ago. Starting with the ADE’s vision to create a statewide learning object repository, and then growing that to a solution that provides all of the teachers and students in the state a place to create, edit, share, broadcast, and collaborate on media, is just awesome,” he adds.
About the ADE and MyVRSpot Partnership
Long before COVID made digital learning and media sharing a necessity, ADE leadership had a vision to create a state-wide learning object repository, where all teachers and students would have access to videos and other media items created by users at the State, Co-op, District, and School level. MyVRSpot offered a unique and safe solution for hosting and sharing of videos that aligned with the Arkansas broadcast initiative.
Over the years, MyVRSpot continued to grow and develop its product alongside Arkansas. As a result, MyVRSpot today easily compares and combines features found in a multitude of products, ranging from screen recordings and online video editing, to creating video based assessments, assignments, and interactive presentations and portfolios.
MyVRSpot’s affordable solution allows the state of Arkansas to provide this service to 100% of its schools and districts. For many low economic and rural communities, this type of service would be unaffordable or unforeseen pre-pandemic. When COVID shut down in-person learning, Arkansas was ready to scale and support.
