Educational Technology Promotes Learning

The Best Buy awards program is based on the belief that "technology can excite and engage students." The awards have been offered annually since 2004, and so far a total of $17 million has been awarded. More than 6,000 schools have received Best Buy gift cards to purchase educational technology.
