Guest Post: 22 Education and Technology Companies Changing the Way We Learn

Reposted from The Renaissance Network.

Lexicon is pleased to be included in The Renaissance Group’s list of top Education and Technology companies that provide the support to encourage effective learning.

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick.

Moving into year three of the global pandemic, Warlick’s 2006 quote is no longer prophetic, but rather reflects the current reality. Learning today leverages a thoughtful use of technology, effective physical components, and in-person teaching/training.

Those companies that provide and support the many forms of effective learning are flourishing in a time of rapid change. And the market continues to grow. HolonIQ predicts that spending on EdTech globally will reach ~$300 billion in 2022, with a continued CAGR of 16.4%, reaching over $400 billion by 2025.

We are featuring organizations that provide services for PreK-12, Higher Education, Continuing Education, and Corporate Learning. Their offerings range from 100% digital solutions to hybrid print and digital learning experiences, onsite in-person services, vital technical support, and more.

We have listed these growing companies alphabetically—this is a collection of 22 highly relevant Education and Technology companies that have succeeded in influencing the market over a turbulent time period, not a ranking list.
