New Project: United Classrooms: UClass.org - Where Your Classroom Meets The World!
A new adventure in my life: Working a new EdTech startup, United Classrooms, with co-founders Zak and Leah. It's an incredible opportunity to do something positive in this world for one of the underserved populations in our country, students.
Our Vision
Let’s
redefine “classroom” to mean the world.
- All students will become active global citizens.
- All classrooms acquire a global identity and become a global influence.
- The world becomes a dynamic network of interconnected and globally responsible adults.
What Is UClass.org?
United Classrooms is a FREE online collaboration platform
that connects students to their classmates, teachers, parents and other
classrooms around the world through the secure platform of a classroom profile
page. It unites students from diverse backgrounds in the creation of a safe and
dynamic global community where knowledge, experiences and relationships are
shared beyond the classrooms walls.
At UClass.org we're providing students, teachers, and parents a social networking site that helps transform them into active global citizens by allowing them to learn from and work with their global peers. We are building a dynamic network of educators, students, and parents to motivate and equip the next generation to be better prepared in a heterogenous cultural world of fast-paced technology and globalization.
We just launched and have already spread to 5 continents with over 1,000 users. We've also been publicly endorsed by Wendy Kopp of Teach For America and Jeffrey Sachs of the Earth Institute at Columbia University.
Such an exciting experience!
