Skoodat combines simple tools with a platform of incredible computing power, making education data useful, for everyone, in real time.
Part learning application engine, part secure, stable and flexible platform, Skoodat offers customizable education performance apps for students, teachers, principals, schools systems and policy makers — serving the entire education system by creating accoutability, saving time and resources for today and tomorrow.
Skoodat is a key partner in the change movement within education. By delivering simple education applications on a customizable platform, Skoodat enables schools to get out of the IT infrastructure business and more intensely focus on education innovation.
Skoodat services are more environmentally and fiscally responsible, and provide dramatic new capabilities that until now, were not possible.
Research has proven that all can learn and that technology can play a key role in the learning process. But so far, technology has become more of a burden than a catalyst to change. Many schools struggle to keep up. Some schools even struggle for survival. Now more than ever, we need better education technology — the kind that will usher in a new era of success in education.
Skoodat services make education more equitable, both for individuals and organizations. How? Let’s start with an example from history.
In 1900, less than 5% of businesses used electricity. By 1920, 50% of businesses were electrified, but generated their own power on site. By 1930, 80% of businesses received their electricity by just plugging into a grid of power supplied by a public utility. Computing has undergone a similar revolution. In just 40 years, computer technology has rapidly evolved from mainframes, to client-server, to cloud computing.
Cloud computing represents the most significant democratization of technology since the invention of the personal computer, providing nearly universal access to a computing power grid to all. Yet very few educators know what it is or how to leverage the cloud for their benefit.
Skoodat provides access to a global education computing utility powered by hundreds of millions of dollars of IT infrastructure. Skoodat services have the potential to dramatically level the playing field in education, for education organizations of all sizes, including students and teachers who have traditionally be underserved.
For Skoodat, stewardship is central to our vision, both socially and environmentally. So at the outset, we have adopted clear policies for giving back to social enterprises and for acting responsibly toward our environment.
Based on the same 1/1/1 model espoused by Salesforce.com, Google, and others, Skoodat has established a minimum standard of giving to leverage our core strengths on behalf of our communities: 1% Time, 1% Equity and 1% Services.
In addition, we are committed to a clean energy future. While our platform and apps enable educators to make their lives more green, Skoodat wants to make sure we minimize our impact on the Earth’s climate as our business grows. We’re taking every step we can to implement innovative and responsible environmental practices and partnerships to reduce our carbon footprint.
