Packback

Packback is proud to announce that we have been named to TIME and Statista's inaugural list of “World’s Top EdTech Companies 2024”. To compile this list, Time and Statista gathered and analyzed data from over 7,000 global EdTech companies, scoring them on two primary criteria: financial strength and industry impact. After analyzing and scoring each company, Time and Statista ultimately decided to designate the 250 highest scoring companies as the World's Top EdTech Companies. This recognition would not be possible without the tireless efforts of each and every Packback employee, along with the partnerships we’ve formed with professors, HigherEd Institutions, K-12 Institutions, and students across the country. We thank you all for your part in this recognition and look forward to continuing our mission to inspire every student to be fearlessly curious. #time #worldstopedtech #rankings #edtech #educationnews You can read the full publication here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gbhhm4pE

Midterms are fast approaching, and from piles of papers to grade and last minute requests, the pressure is real! But with the right strategies, you can manage your time, reduce your workload, and focus on what really matters—helping your students succeed. 1️⃣ Time Block: Break down your day by dedicating specific time slots for teaching, grading, research, and personal activities. A structured schedule boosts productivity and ensures a better work-life balance. 2️⃣ Set Email Hours: Reserve set times for responding to emails (like Monday to Friday, 9-5), and communicate these boundaries to your students. This helps manage expectations while giving you space for focused work. 3️⃣ Say No: Be selective about extra responsibilities during this busy season. Prioritize tasks that align with your key responsibilities to stay focused and reduce overwhelm. 4️⃣ Leverage Instructional AI: Use Packback’s AI to lighten the grading load. Our AI handles grammar, syntax, and source credibility, leaving you more time to provide thoughtful feedback on the content that matters most. 🎯 Take control of this midterm season with these strategies and give yourself the space to focus on driving student success. #MidtermPrep #EdTech #TeachingTips #AIinEducation #EducatorTips
