The EdTech Digest Awards are the largest recognition program in education technology, recognizing outstanding contributions in transforming education through technology to enrich the lives of learners everywhere.

“This year has been different, to say the least. However, despite formidable challenges brought about by world events—including locked-down cities, standstill travel, and closed offices, businesses and schools—we endure,” said Victor Rivero, Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest. “While The EdTech Awards salutes all those on the front lines of help, with an extraordinary shift to online learning, really acknowledging the innovators, leaders, and trendsetters—particularly in our field—is more important than ever.”

The Cool Tool Award, which Untangle previously won in 2018 for best “IT networking, connectivity or access solution”, affirms the company’s commitment to helping school IT departments protect, monitor and control their networks and data.
