Vision(R)6, GenevaLogic's flagship classroom management software(TM) product, has received a 2006 Education Software Review (EDDIE) Award from ComputED for best "Classroom Management Software" in the Teacher Tools category.

This is the eleventh year that ComputED Learning Center, San Diego's leading computer education resource, has presented these awards recognizing innovative and content-rich programs and Web sites that provide parents and teachers with the technology to foster educational excellence - including augmenting the classroom curriculum and improving teacher productivity. Winners are selected from titles submitted by software publishers around the world.

"It is exciting to see Vision6 recognized with this impressive group of software products for education," said Kirk Greiner, president, GenevaLogic.

Selection for the EDDIES is based on academic content, potential for broad classroom use, technical merit, subject approach and management system. All submitted titles are made available to school districts, teachers and the public through ComputED and the Educational Software Preview Service of San Diego Center for Educational Technology (a nonprofit organization).

Vision6 debuted in February 2006 and was recently updated with Version 6.1. The newest release features faster connection times, offers teachers more information about student computers and provides expanded support for video cards and devices as well as many other performance enhancements.

Originally launched in 1996, Vision is currently used in more than 50,000 classrooms worldwide. Vision is the easy-to-use classroom management software that empowers teachers and trainers to guide and supervise student computer activity from the instructor's computer screen. Teachers use Vision to enhance learning, supervise student progress, monitor or prevent Web browsing, share computer screens and remotely control student computers.
