We’re thrilled to announce that TCI’s K–12 Social Studies programs have been named a winner of the 2026 EdTech Cool Tool Award, presented by EdTech Digest — a recognition that speaks to the real impact happening in classrooms across the country every day.
Used in thousands of classrooms nationwide, TCI’s K–12 Social Studies curriculum transforms the way students engage with history, civics, geography, and economics. Rather than passively reading about the past, students participate in it through hands-on activities, discussions, primary source analysis, and lessons designed to make even the most complex concepts approachable and relevant.
The program is built on proven teaching strategies that promote inquiry, collaboration, and civic understanding, empowering students to connect the past to the present and become informed, active citizens.
The EdTech Awards — now celebrating their 16th year — are the world’s largest recognition program for education technology, honoring standout innovation across the K–12, Higher Education, and Skills & Workforce sectors. Finalists and winners are evaluated on pedagogical workability, efficacy, support, clarity, value, and potential.
“The work happening across this community is expanding what’s possible in education — making learning more accessible, more relevant, and more impactful for people at every stage of life,” said Victor Rivero, Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest. “You’re not just advancing the field; you’re helping redefine it.”
We’re proud of this recognition and grateful to the educators who trust TCI in their classrooms every day. Explore TCI’s award-winning Social Studies programs.
