Recognition highlights Deledao's continued innovation in AI, IT connectivity, and student data privacy.
SANTA CLARA, CA— Deledao, a leading provider of real-time AI-powered education technology solutions, is proud to announce its continued recognition as a finalist in The EdTech Awards 2025, presented by EdTech Digest.
This year marks the fifth consecutive year Deledao has been named a finalist in the categories of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solution and Networking, IT, Connectivity, or Access Solution. It is also the fourth consecutive year Deledao has been commended as a Student Data Privacy Solution finalist—a category Deledao won in 2020.
Celebrating its 15th year, The EdTech Awards is the world’s largest and most competitive awards program dedicated to education technology. The program honors the innovators, leaders, and trendsetters transforming education through technology.
Deledao’s consistent recognition reflects the strength and relevance of its product suite, including solutions for web filtering, classroom management, and student wellness. Leading the way for the 2025 recognition of Deledao by the EdTech Awards is the launch of ProxyGuard™, a new model added to the patented InstantAI™ technology proprietary to Deledao. ProxyGuard™ elevates Deledao’s ability to detect and block emerging proxy bypass distractions in real time—keeping students engaged and on their path to academic success.
“When more and more K12 IT admins told us that they were scrambling to keep up with dozens of new proxy bypass sites that pop up daily, we knew that manual blocklisting would never work,” said Shuang Ji, CEO of Deledao.
“By collaborating directly with school districts, we built the ProxyGuard™ model into InstantAI™ to spot and shut down those ‘sneaky’ sites—Doge, Shuttle, Interstellar, Rammerhead, Croxy, Abyss, Astroid and more—in real time. IT admins report reclaiming 4–6 hours a week they would otherwise spend chasing proxy bypass links—freeing up precious time for higher impact IT responsibilities.”
Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, Victor Rivero, celebrated this year’s honorees as “the innovators who see the future not as something to react to, but as something to create,” and that their “work is making education more inclusive, accessible, and effective—breaking barriers, unlocking potential, and preparing learners for a world that is evolving faster than ever.” Finalists were evaluated based on pedagogical workability, efficacy, support, clarity, value, and potential.
With a global footprint spanning North America, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, Deledao is dedicated to helping schools create digital environments where students can thrive free from distractions. By empowering educators and IT leaders in K12 with real-time AI tools, Deledao supports more meaningful learning outcomes for every student.
