TUALATIN, Ore. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Lightspeed's REDCAT Media was awarded the 2010 Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence, an honor that recognizes product innovation that meets the changing needs of the education technology environment. REDCAT Media is an extension of Lightspeed's REDCAT - the leading, no-install classroom audio solution.

Over 140 product entries were test-driven by a panel of 30 educators from the New York City Department of Education, the University of Michigan, and T&L advisors. Evaluation criteria include rigorous quality and effectiveness testing, along with assessment for suitability of use in an educational environment. "Now that the use of technology in schools is no longer a novelty but a reality, it's no longer about the promise of what a product can do; it's about the proof," says Kevin Hogan, Editorial Director for NewBay Media's Tech & Learning Group.

In addition to maintaining high speech intelligibility and even distribution of sound, REDCAT Media offers a full-range, stereo-quality experience from videos, movies, and music in the classroom. "It's a privilege to be the only classroom audio product recognized by T&L. This indicates that we are staying focused in our mission to help teachers be at their best while enhancing auditory learning for children in the classroom," says Shaun Fagan, Product Manager at Lightspeed Technologies.
