MySyllabi.org
is an online tool that teachers use to automatically send home
relevant digital learning materials. When a teacher signs up, she declares
her subject and grade interests. We can then populate her calendar with
the right learning games, educational videos, web pages, and quizzes.
Teachers are free to rearrange the order for which particular topics
are taught and when MySyllabi.org encourages collaboration within the education community by allowing teachers access to each others calendars. Users can create their own original postings, or they can drag and drop postings they like from the calendars of their colleagues. To make this collaboration process easy, we group teachers based on their subject and grade interests, then provide a daily list of the most popular resources scheduled on classroom calendars throughout the site. Teachers can then customize their own calendars with materials shared amongst the community. MySyllabi.org is a non-profit that rewards teachers with merit-based pay raises based on the consumption rates of each teacher's parents and students. The non-profit bridges goodwill between corporate sponsors and the teacher community by adopting classrooms. The aim is to motivate teachers to use the MySyllabi tool and improve communication with their students and parents. MySyllabi.com acts as a webmail client where emails can be sent and received. MySyllabi.com's core competency is selling this email platform to schools and districts. The main value proposition is an email system customized for the education market. At $2,250 per school, we are undercutting the competition (Microsoft Web Outlook / GMAIL) while offering a superior product that their teachers may already be using effectively. Our marketing strategy focuses on organic growth of MySyllabi.org and uses the influence of participating teachers to convert that traffic into school sales. Sensitive communication takes place from the teacher to the home and administrative principals will pay MySyllabi.com for control over these transmittals.
We are in search of early start-up investment in order to hire the right education consultant as well as technology, content, and sales executives to bring this educational solution to fruition. |
