Teachers' Favorite Awards:
Best Content Providers
In the spring of 2006, Berrien County ISD (now Berrien RESA) hosted Teacher's Favorite Awards to select the Best Content Providers for the 2005-2006 school year.
Berrien RESA has been listing content providers' programs since 2000. As the most comprehensive database of videoconference content providers, it has been used nationally since 2002 and sponsored by Polycom since 2003. The Teachers' Favorite Awards program started in 2006 and runs annually in May.
