Why Teaching Toolbox?
Teaching Toolbox is revolutionary, grass-roots, collaborative experience for teachers. While there are several apps for educators, most are very limited in their functionality and focus on assisting the teacher with specific classroom tasks. Below are a few apps that are similar to Teaching Toolbox, in content or in theory, but each lacks a distinctive feature offered by Teaching Toolbox.
gFlashPro: This app offers a platform for downloading and editing flashcards in a variety of subjects, straight from the top educational publishers. However, you cannot create your own flashcards or content to share with other users of the app.
Dropbox: A free service that allows you to store photos, videos, and documents online for easy access. However, you can only share this content with people you know, and this hinders the spread and exchange of knowledge.
School A to Z: This app is catered towards parents of school-aged children, and offers resources to help parents understand and engage with their child's homework. This app offers non-curriculum related resources to help parents in supporting holistic development of their child. Teaching Toolbox offers a similar platform for teachers to share their ideas and experiences about curriculum, activities, and learning styles, with other teachers to enhance student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
Teaching Toolbox is unique in its ability to unite teachers around the globe around a common vision of effective, collaborative, engaging strategies and activities for educating children. The ability for teachers, regardless of experience level, to contribute to the conversation is unparalleled. Additionally, the ease of sharing content digitally is furthered by the large content inventory and options for personalization.
Most importantly, the market for Teaching Toolbox is both definable and significant. As the Baby Boomer generation starts to retire, a greater share of the teaching population is being filled with young men and women who go into teaching after high school or college. There are multiple programs, such as Teach for America, that offer avenues to draw these individuals into teaching. At the same time, the burnout rate for teachers has been on a steep upward trajectory; teacher attrition has risen 50 percent over the last 15 years, according to Forbes Magazine. It is increasingly clear that teachers are not getting the help they need, and that's where Teaching Toolbox comes in. With an easy-to-use format, collaboration between teachers, and multiple facets of the job addressed by the app, Teaching Toolbox is here to ensure that our educators have the resources they need to go forth and teach.
