SNS Project Inkwell announced this week that educational reward company uBoost has become a member of its global consortium. The goal of SNS Project Inkwell is to accelerate the deployment of appropriate technologies onto K-12 desktops worldwide.
uBoost joins a group that includes IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, IDEO, Gateway, Clearwire, Promethean, QED, Steljes, Inspiration Software, and many other educational technology and content companies.
“We look forward to participating in a meaningful way. It is important to recognize the educators that are using the available technology in relevant ways and create incentives for students to utilize the technology as it becomes more broadly available in their schools. uBoost can play a role in providing systems of motivation to accelerate the use of technology within a school system as it is deployed,” says uBoost CEO John Bower.
uBoost is a Web-based rewards and recognition platform designed to inspire learning among K-12 students in the U.S. by providing rewards and recognizing their academic achievement through thousands of relevant online rewards, including college savings accounts and charitable giving.
