The new West Virginia Education Portal recently won the 2008 Best of Web Special Award and the 2008 Digital Education Achievement Award. The awards recognize the portal’s innovative approach to integrating more than 900 education resources into one centralized starting point within the state’s official Web site (
http://www.wv.gov.). The West Virginia Education Portal (http://www.education.wv.gov) is the result of the work of the 21st Century Jobs Cabinet. Built without tax dollars, the portal was the product of a public-private partnership between West Virginia Interactive and the state. West Virginia Interactive works with government agencies to build and manage interactive online services.
