About the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence

Tech & Learning's panel of expert judges evaluated each nominated product on four criteria: ease of use, value, versatility, and utility.

Why Senturo Was Recognized

Senturo is a leader in K-12 device security and geo-tracking, helping districts minimize learning disruptions while protecting their critical technology investments. The platform enables IT teams to quickly locate missing devices, automate security responses, and maintain complete visibility across their entire fleet, keeping students learning, saving districts time, and reducing replacement costs.

Against the four judging criteria:

• Ease of use: Senturo deploys via existing MDM infrastructure with no additional hardware required, making rollout straightforward for district IT teams.
• Value: By recovering more devices before they are permanently lost, districts reduce replacement costs and IT labor. See the full cost breakdown of lost devices.
• Versatility: The platform supports macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS from a single dashboard, covering the full range of device types found in modern K-12 fleets.
• Utility: Real-time geo-tracking, automated geofencing, remote lock and wipe, and Incident IQ integration give IT teams the tools to respond quickly when a device goes missing.

What This Means for K-12 Districts

The recognition comes at a critical time for K-12 districts nationwide. With ESSER funding now expired, schools face increasing pressure to protect their technology investments and reduce operational costs while maintaining educational continuity.

"Every hour a student spends without their device is an hour of lost learning opportunity, not to mention the hundreds of dollars in potential replacement costs per unit and IT hours spent on recovery. Senturo helps districts protect their investment by slashing device loss rates, automating recovery workflows, and getting devices back in students' hands quickly. We're honored that Tech & Learning recognizes the value we bring to education." - Bjorn Hall, Co-Founder and CEO, Senturo

We saw an explosion of innovation in educational technology in 2024, and these nominated products represent the best of the best. Our judges were impressed with the breadth of these winning products that empower deeper learning, personalized experiences, and student engagement." - Christine Weiser, Content Director, Tech & Learning
