CHICAGO, June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Teachers Hall of Fame (NTHF) this week inducted five educators into the prestigious Class of 2014, cementing their mark of excellence in the field of education. digedu is partnering with NTHF for a second consecutive year by providing its inductees and finalists with its Learning Engine^TM instructional platform.

It was this partnership in 2013 that allowed past NTHF inductees to aid in the creation of digedu's classroom-ready lessons; they helped to build the engaging, standards-aligned lessons that are provided on the Learning Engine.
