21st Century Schooling

Tablets are already in our schools, and are projected to grow exponentially every year

● Tablets accounted for 35% of all device sales to schools in 2012 ● Tablet shipments grew 103% year over year in 2012

That means each year millions of new devices are in need of effective and engaging applications that provide content with new possibilities to streamline outdated practices.

Social and Environmental Impact

We measure our products’ impact by hours of time saved by teachers, students and administrators. Our Double Bottom Line strategy is measured by how much instructional time we give back to the teacher to devote to academic achievement.

More quality instructional time = higher student achievement

Our Triple Bottom Line strategy is measured by the amount of paper our products save by moving cumbersome practices to digital and mobile platforms.
