We're honored and excited to be one of 30 companies chosen to present at the EdSurge Tech for Schools Summit on this Saturday (Nov. 2) in Silicon Valley.

The event is designed to bring local educators and innovative ed tech entrepreneurs together, and provide opportunities for teachers to explore new products and to ask the tough questions of the entrepreneurs.

Jill Nyhus, Insight's VP of Business Development, and Nancy Goodman, Senior Project Director, plan to unveil and get feedback on Insight's new platform that provides meaningful feedback to classroom teachers through video-based observations, coaching and evaluations.

The event was announced after the overwhelming success of the first Tech for Schools Summit that was held in Rhode Island earlier in October.  The 30 companies that will participate at the Summit were subjected to a rigorous judging period, chosen by a panel of five independent judges from over 100 applicants.

The Tech for Schools Summit is a free, invite-only event open only to educators in Silicon Valley and Bay Area. EdSurge is co-hosting the event with NewSchools Venture Fund, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, and the Santa Clara County Office of Education.
