Plano ISD Site Wins Best of the Web Award from the Center for Digital Education

HOUSTON, TX, September 30, 2004 – The eSiteful-developed Plano Independent School District (www.pisd.edu) site took second place in the K-12 category in the Best of the Web (BOW) competition sponsored by the Center for Digital Education (www.centerdigitaled.com).

Now in its third year, the BOW evaluates higher education, K-12 state and K-12 district web sites on their innovation, web-based delivery of public services, efficiency, economy, and functionality for improved student and faculty access. The inaugural Digital Education Achievement Award grades state district and school online applications and projects, based on enhanced interactions, transactions and/or services.

“The review process this year was difficult, but exciting,” said Marina Leight, director of the Center. “It's clear that the web world in education has come of age and that it's no longer a question of static versus functionality. The defining features are more subtle and have to do with whom the web site is serving and how. Of primary importance in the education sector is how is it serving the student?”
