Getting Started

Our team has had long tiring discussions about what our focus should be in starting our company. We realized that the best way to help educators, like ourselves, is to focus on products that empower them in the classrooms. These would be in the areas of academic resources support and supplementary learning.

In the realm of teaching, the term curriculum is a messy topic. It has been interchangeably used as a product and not as the real meaning of the word. Curriculum is supposed to be what the student needs to learn and not what product a school district has purchased so that teachers have something to use when teaching the students what they need to learn – the Common Core State Standards

Each product, “the curriculum,” has a different design for its intended use. This design becomes the chain around a teacher’s neck because she is now bound by the “pacing”(the flow or order of lessons that are needed to be taught within a certain time frame) and assessments that the product dictates. This becomes counterintuitive when a teacher determines that her students need more practice on a specific topic but the product does not offer it.

Teachers are very instinctive. They know what their students need. Curriculum products can only go so far. The teachers know and feel that their students need more. This is where we would like to come in and help. We are committing ourselves to support teachers in finding the resources that they need in teaching their students and we will continue working with them until we achieve this.

For supplemental learning, we have focused our attention to one of the biggest areas in the business – mobile and web-based applications. When we decided to take on this challenge, we told ourselves that we will not create products that are cookie-cutters, just like the ones on the market today.

We want our products to be more captivating. Something that will not bore the students when they use them. Something that will make them want to use it.

Our first app, Pack and Go!, captivates the students with its first of a kind gaming visuals while addressing first grade math skills. This is a simple yet effective strategy that will help us get along the ranks of the best educational apps in the App Store and Google Play Store.
