Scrible Wins Classroom Essentials Award

We’re super excited to announce that Scrible’s been awarded the 2019 Classroom Essentials Award for all grade levels by the Illinois Association of Teachers of English (IATE)! We deeply appreciate and thank IATE for recognizing our work to support teachers and students with research and writing. Here’s their take on us:

“Scrible provides a comprehensive, seamless integration of technology into the research process, allowing teachers at all levels to analyze student work and to assist students as they write. Scrible allows teachers to oversee the formative process of research writing and creates an online environment where research is cited appropriately and easily while students research. It allows students and teachers to focus on the important skills of exploring and integrating resources and frees them from the stress and chaos of chasing down citations. What’s more, in addition to school-level accounts, Scrible allows individuals to purchase accounts and carry this valuable tool with them into a university or career setting.”

We received the Award at the 2018 IATE Fall Conference in Hoffman Estates, IL, where our Cofounder/CEO was excited to meet and show Scrible Edu to Illinois English teachers. Here are some pics from the Conference:

Scrible at MSLA 2018 Conference

Our Scrible Team was thrilled to attend and sponsor the Massachusetts School Library Association (MSLA) 2018 Conference in Worcester, Massachusetts! MSLA works to ensure that every school has a library program that’s integrated across grades and subjects and has a significant, measurable impact on student success. Thanks and congrats to MSLA and the Conference planners for hosting an amazing event that focused on the needs of Massachusetts school libraries and media specialists.

Sponsorship
We were a Silver Sponsor because school librarians are our peops and we’re excited to work with Bay State media specialists!

Mass Librarians
Our CEO, Victor, and Teaching Specialist, Dacey, tag-teamed a booth to demo key features of the Scrible Edu platform. We had meaningful conversations and everyone loved Scrible. It was great to see familiar faces and meet new librarians. We gathered feedback on new features for media specialists and learned how school libraries operate in Massachusetts. We’re looking forward to working with the many folks we met at the Conference!

Speakers and Awardees
Day 1 of the Conference concluded with a dinner, awards ceremony and closing keynote by Jennifer Casa-Todd titled Empowering Students To Be Digital Leaders. The Awards were an opportunity for the Bay State’s school library community to recognize and celebrate its notable advocates, leaders and innovative and impactful librarians. Our CEO was happy to meet Service Awardee Greg Pronevitz, an experienced and widely respected advocate for Massachusetts libraries, and catch up with Opening Keynote Speaker Tom Murray, Director of Innovation for Future Ready Schools.

Library, Technology and Media… OH MY!! We had an awesome time at MSLA and look forward to working with Massachusetts librarians to support research, writing, media literacy and technology skills across the Bay State!

Scrible at NJASL Fall Conference

Scrible was just at the New Jersey Association of School Librarians (NJASL) Fall Conference at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch the week before Thanksgiving!

Our Cofounder/CEO Victor loved meeting and hanging out with librarians and attendees from all over New Jersey. He chatted with and showed them Scrible at our booth.

We were excited to see that our session was well attended, with 50 engaged librarians attending and asking questions! The session was title and description were:

Scrible + Google = Personalized Learning for Research and Writing!
50% of secondary students struggle with research and aren’t ready for college writing. Using Scrible with G Suite instills strong research/writing skills. Scrible lets students curate, annotate and collaborate on articles and offers citations/bibliographies and Google Docs integration, helping students organize their work. Real-time analytics enable teachers to track student progress and personalize interventions.

Conference attendees loved Scrible. So, we’re excited to have them try Scrible at their schools!
