EdTech

EdTech

Education technology as a coverage sector — the software, marketplaces, and investors reshaping how learning is delivered and financed. Kyle flagged it as a deep-dive candidate on his Roam “Trends” idea-capture page, seeded with a pointer to prolific edtech investor Deborah Quazzo (GSV Ventures) as a person to track.

From “Things To Internet”

An “EdTech” list, Saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Things To Internet” (c. 2014):

  • If… — most likely IF… The Emotional IQ Game, a social-emotional-learning adventure game for kids 6–12 from the studio If You Can, inspired by Kipling’s poem “If—” (Common Sense Media; NPR, 2013). The bare title makes this a probable match, not a certain one.
  • Edmodo — the K-12 classroom social network. NetDragon bought it for $137.5M in 2018, and the free platform shut down on September 22, 2022 (EdSurge).
  • Amplify — News Corp’s education-technology division, led by Joel Klein, which News Corp sold in September 2015 to a group of its executives (EdWeek). (Not the venture firm of the same name.)
  • Motion Math — iPad math games founded in 2010 by Stanford Learning, Design and Technology graduates Jacob Klein and Gabriel Adauto; acquired by Curriculum Associates in 2017 (EdSurge). Kyle’s line tags it “(edtech accelerator)”; which accelerator isn’t recorded.
  • ClassDojo — the classroom-communication app, an alumnus of the edtech accelerator Imagine K12 (PitchBook).
  • Rev Rat — [STALE — checked 2026-09-16: no edtech company or app by that name found; the only match is “Rev the rat”, an avatar inside Studies Weekly Online, which can’t be confirmed as what was meant].

Other education saves from the same note:

  • Black Girls Code — nonprofit teaching coding to girls of color, founded in 2011 by Kimberly Bryant (blackgirlscode.com). Saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Things To Internet” (c. 2013–2015).
  • “Khan’s center for learning innovation” — [STALE — checked 2026-09-16: no “center for learning innovation” associated with Khan Academy or Sal Khan found. The nearest Khan institution of that era is Khan Lab School, which opened in 2014; unconfirmed]. Saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Things To Internet” (c. 2013–2015).
  • CreativeLive — live and on-demand online classes for creative professionals, founded in Seattle in 2010 by Chase Jarvis and Craig Swanson; acquired by Fiverr in 2021. Saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Things To Internet” (c. 2014).
  • www.MilionWaysToTeach.com” — [STALE — checked 2026-09-16: 2013 and 2014 Wayback captures of millionwaystoteach.com show the domain parked for sale at HugeDomains; no earlier content survives]. Saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Things To Internet” (c. 2012–2013).
