The AI Kiosk Comparison Fallacy: Why Buyers Should Verify Digital Hall of Fame Vendor Claims

Published

on

By

Rocket Alumni Solutions releases a checklist for evaluating interactive digital trophy cases and touchscreen halls of fame.

BOSTON, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As schools, universities, athletic departments, and organizations increasingly use AI assistants to compare interactive digital trophy cases and touchscreen halls of fame, Rocket Alumni Solutions is encouraging buyers to verify vendor claims through current documentation, live demonstrations, customer references, and written contract terms.

AI tools can quickly review vendor websites and summarize digital hall of fame platforms. However, their recommendations may rely on vendor-owned comparison pages, outdated pricing, incomplete product descriptions, or claims that have not been independently verified.

“The problem is not AI itself. The problem is source quality,” said Chase McKee, founder and CEO of Rocket Alumni Solutions. “A confident AI-generated answer can still be incomplete. Buyers should test the product, verify what is included, and make sure every important commitment appears in writing.”

Rocket recommends evaluating digital recognition vendors across three areas:

Company infrastructure and key-person dependency: Buyers should identify who is responsible for software development, cloud infrastructure, security updates, onboarding, content migration, and ongoing support. Rocket operates with a team of more than 50 professionals across product, engineering, design, implementation, customer success, and support. Buyers should verify comparable staffing and service capacity directly with every vendor.

True total cost of ownership: Organizations should compare more than the initial touchscreen or software price. Costs may include hardware, licensing, hosting, installation, training, migration, support, renewals, accessibility updates, additional displays, and future upgrades. Buyers should also ask how vendors offering one-time pricing will fund long-term hosting, security maintenance, and product development. Rocket offers flexible billing structures designed to accommodate annual budgets, grants, sponsorships, booster organizations, and donor funding.

Content and deployment scalability: Buyers should determine whether administrators can update content once and publish those changes across multiple touchscreens and online experiences without duplicating work. Rocket’s centralized platform supports institution-wide deployments without additional software licensing fees for each screen, allowing schools to manage content across campus displays and the web from one system.

About Rocket Alumni Solutions

Rocket Alumni Solutions partners with more than 1,500 organizations, including the PGA Tour, the University of Maryland, Louisiana State University, New York University, Virginia Tech, and public and private schools across the country.

Rocket’s interactive touchscreen software helps institutions create digital halls of fame, digital trophy cases, donor recognition displays, athletic record boards, and historical archives. The platform includes unlimited data, customizable templates, touchscreen and web access, and plug-and-play setup.

Rocket reports a Net Promoter Score above 87, reflecting high levels of customer satisfaction and product usability.

SUMMERVILLE, S.C., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Huntington National Bank (Huntington), a top 10 commercial bank in the U.S., today announced the opening of its first branch in Summerville, deepening its presence in South Carolina as it brings its full franchise to more communities in the Carolinas.

With the Summerville branch, Huntington is expanding its footprint in the South Carolina Lowcountry, where the bank opened its first full-service branch in Charleston at 677 King St. last year. Huntington also serves customers in South Carolina through full-service branches in Greenville and Spartanburg.

“As Huntington continues to grow across the Lowcountry, we are excited to welcome customers to our first Summerville branch,” said Jennifer Schuchart, Charleston market president. “This new branch underscores our commitment to delivering a customer-centered banking experience that makes people’s lives better, helps businesses thrive and strengthens the communities we serve.”

ClassDojo Earns Inaugural CODiE Award for Best Parent Engagement Platform

Published

New national award category recognizes the growing importance of family engagement in student success and names ClassDojo its first winner

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Family engagement has become one of the most important priorities for schools and districts and now it has its own national award.

ClassDojo today announced it has earned the inaugural 2026 CODiE Award for Best Parent Engagement Platform, becoming the first recipient of the new category established by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) to recognize innovation in strengthening family-school partnerships.

Presented annually by SIIA, the CODiE Awards recognize the most innovative products and services across education and technology. Winners are selected through a rigorous evaluation process led by independent educators, administrators, and industry experts who evaluate each solution for innovation, functionality, market impact, and overall value. Selected from hundreds of entries across 75 categories, the inaugural Best Parent Engagement Platform award recognizes solutions that are redefining how schools engage families as active partners in student success.

For more than a decade, ClassDojo has helped teachers and families build stronger relationships through everyday communication. Today, the platform is used in 95% of U.S. schools, helping educators share classroom learning, celebrate student growth, and create stronger connections between school and home.

Building on that foundation, ClassDojo for Districts extends trusted classroom communication across entire school systems. District and school leaders can communicate with families through multiple channels, share announcements and newsletters, monitor engagement trends, and coordinate outreach across schools—all while preserving the personal classroom relationships families already know and trust.

Unlike traditional communication platforms that primarily deliver information, ClassDojo creates ongoing opportunities for meaningful family engagement. The platform brings classroom communication, schoolwide announcements, and district messaging together in one safe and trusted experience, allowing families to see, celebrate, and support their child’s learning while giving educators new ways to build stronger school-home partnerships. Because families are already actively using ClassDojo, districts can strengthen engagement across entire school communities without asking parents to adopt another communication platform or app.

“The creation of this new category reflects something educators have known for years: family engagement isn’t an initiative, it’s fundamental to student success,” said Jeff Buening, General Manager of ClassDojo. “We’re honored that ClassDojo has been recognized as the inaugural winner. Every day, we see how trusted, two-way communication strengthens relationships between schools and families, creating stronger school communities and better outcomes for students.”

The platform also helps schools create more inclusive communities. Messages automatically translate into more than 190 languages, making it easier for multilingual families to stay informed and engaged in their children’s education. Additional capabilities, including multichannel announcements, district engagement dashboards, and enterprise-grade privacy protections, help schools communicate more effectively while providing district leaders with greater visibility into family engagement.

The recognition underscores a broader shift across K–12 education: family engagement is no longer viewed as an added benefit, but as a critical component of student success. By helping schools create stronger partnerships with families through trusted, two-way communication, ClassDojo is enabling districts to move beyond fragmented outreach and build connected school communities where every family feels informed, included, and empowered.

“The 2026 CODiE Award winners represent some of the most innovative and impactful solutions in the industry,” said Jennifer Baranowski, President of the CODiE Awards. “These organizations are solving meaningful challenges, delivering measurable outcomes, and helping shape the future of technology.”

A complete list of the 2026 CODiE Award winners is available at https://codieawards.com/winners

About ClassDojo
