Advancing Personal Connections in Education Through Purposeful EdTech
Whether face-to-face or through a screen, human interactions are a critical component of education success. There are simply no replacements for the personal connections formed between students and their teachers, guidance counselors, and administrators. It stands to reason, therefore, that great education technology should reduce time-consuming and low-value distractions and facilitate more frequent and higher quality interactions.
Purpose-driven technology should mitigate distractions.
Consider the task of building a master schedule using the current best practices in K-12 education. The result, a great master schedule, is critical to student success, but the process itself consumes hundreds of human labor hours from critical team members such as principals, guidance counselors, and department heads. All the hours these team members invest in laboring over master schedules come at the direct expense of hours that could otherwise be spent engaging in valuable human-to-human interactions with students.
Cardonex can accomplish master schedule building faster and with far superior accuracy. Think about it, a single accountant with QuickBooks is faster and more accurate than a small team of accountants with basic calculators and paper ledgers. Similarly, a single school administrator with Cardonex, our purpose-driven master scheduling software, is much faster and more capable than a small task force armed with magnet boards and Excel spreadsheets. Wouldn’t you rather your high-impact administrators spend more time with students and less time locked away in a conference room solving scheduling puzzles only to emerge with a less than optimal solution?
Education technology should significantly improve the quality of the time spent on human-to-human interactions.
With BuildYourOwnCurriculum (BYOC), the task of curriculum development and standards alignment is collaboratively shared across and between districts, empowering individual teachers to spend more time tailoring lesson plans to student needs. Additionally, BYOC enhances curriculum transparency between teachers, departments, grade levels, administrators, parents, and teachers. All of this allows for higher quality and more consistent student-to-teacher interactions.
The number one reason educators choose - and stick with - the profession is because they are passionate about making a difference in the lives of students. As a company built by educators, we get it. Education Advanced believes in the value of human-to-human interaction in education. That is why we relentlessly innovate technology that shoulders time-consuming and error-prone administrative tasks so you can keep your focus on high-quality interactions with students. It is not just our mission at work, it is our life’s passion.
