Last week, ClassLink and NJASA celebrated the accomplishments of exceptional New Jersey educators at their annual Seaside Celebration for Ed Leaders in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

All year long, new application requests arrive faster than teams can evaluate them. Without a proper system or process in place, reviews stall and risk grows. AppTrack restores momentum and provides schools with a clear path from software request to potential approval.
ClassLink is excited to announce that its ClassLink Suite has been honored with two Tech & Learning Best of Show Awards at ISTELive 2025, receiving accolades in both the Primary and Secondary Education categories.

Funding uncertainty, budget constraints, and a move toward paring down inventories of educational technology are top of mind for many district officials looking to manage costs and screen their districts’ tools for quality. Despite those downward pressures on ed-tech adoption, the number of tech tools in use in school systems continues to increase, contrary to what some industry officials predicted would happen amid fiscal concerns and an oversaturation of technology.
Instructure just released its annual “Edtech Top 40” report, highlighting transformational edtech tools and ranking them based on their intended purpose. These tools were separated and ranked based on five areas: learning management systems, courseware platforms, supplemental platforms, classroom response and assessment tools, and study tools.
Being proactive rather than reactive when approaching tech management can pay good dividends for staff and students. Last summer, Victor DeMedeiros, Senior Technology Manager at New Bedford Public Schools in Massachusetts, set up and enrolled 3,200 new Chromebooks for the entire high school of approximately 3,000 students.
ClassLink has been named a winner in the 2025 SmartBrief Reader’s Choice Awards, earning top honors for its comprehensive ClassLink Suite in the Cybersecurity and Safety & Security categories.

In many school districts, the technology department operates under constant pressure, responding to outages, fixing broken devices, and troubleshooting system failures at a moment’s notice. It’s a stressful environment where each day feels like working in an emergency room, reacting to crises as they come.
Every year, technology leaders face a mountain of challenges in setting up accounts and systems in time for students to return to school. To help, on May 2, ClassLink and Savvas brought together school and vendor leaders at the 2025 BTS Summit to reimagine how to solve these problems and create a better back-to-school experience.
