"We are proud to share these cool tools, bold leaders and innovative trendsetters that we hope will inspire learners and leaders everywhere," notes a post about the awards program in EdTech Digest. "They are reshaping the education culture, and they are creating a new and better future for students everywhere."

Launched in 2011, Milestone Documents has been embraced by high school and college educators for its ability to help students engage with, analyze, and understand primary sources. The online streaming service pairs 1,700 key historical documents with expert, original commentary from a global network of 300 historians and educators, delivering it all for less than $20 per student.

While it can be used as a companion to a traditional textbook, Milestone Documents is increasingly used as a stand-alone for teachers interested in eliminating expensive textbooks in favor of a primary-source-driven approach to history instruction. Further, it's designed to support the modern experience students and educators demand: students can highlight and take notes; class home pages are simple to set up; and users can access the site on any computer, smart phone, or tablet.

Milestone Documents' breadth of coverage and Web platform enable educators to create customized document readers that suit their classrooms and their students' abilities and also provide motivated students with a rich selection of works to explore on their own. No background in the use of online resources is needed; Milestone Documents' staff works with educators to create a unique reading list and helps them implement it with their classes. The staff can suggest appropriate primary documents based on the course or provide complete coverage of the subject so that teachers can refine their reading list as they see fit.
