Award-Winning Publishers

An award winning publisher in computer assisted instruction is Sunburst Technology. Their website can be accessed at http://store.sunburst.com/. Sunburst Technology develops and distributes supplemental curriculum materials for schools. It is a leading resource for school technology products. The company has become well-known in the educational technology field by developing and publishing award-winning, multimedia educational software, videos, and printed supplements for use in schools. It publishes school products for grades kindergarten to 12th grade. Sunburst Technology offers over 500 software, print, and web-delivered titles in various subject areas including reading and language, science, math, and social studies.

Sunburst Technology could be a valuable resource in the elementary education classroom. Teachers can access a variety of activities and learning programs from the website to download for free or to order. In the elementary classroom where there are probably only a few computers, teachers can allow students to use these computers during “free-time” or activity rotations during which students can play educational games such as those provided by Sunburst Technology. Thus students become accustomed to using computers, are introduced to technology, and learn as well! The games also generate formative assessment reports for teachers which shows students progress in comparison to state’s standards. The resources provided by Sunburst Technology are a great tool for the classroom and should be considered for use.
