Edmodo, a safe platform where teachers and students can collaborate, share content, and leverage educational apps to augment in-classroom learning

Edmodo is interesting because of the way it has molded social into a shape that suits education at the K-12 level: as a free service that's teacher-friendly and easy for school districts to adopt, typically after they find out their teachers are already using it.

Using Edmodo, teachers invite students into private groups that can be used for online classroom discussions, but in a format that keeps the teacher firmly in control.

Facebook has brought us closer to our friends, LinkedIn has provided us with invaluable business tools, and Twitter has brought the world to our fingertips.

Edmodo has been bringing the power of the web and mobile to students and has become the largest social learning network in the world for K12 education.

Founders4Schools has brought the power of linkedin to teachers so their students can explore businesses within 5 miles of the school’s location and invite them to speak to students or help the students get work placements….

THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF ‘OPEN POSITIONS’

Number of new science, engineering and tech professionals required in the UK by 2020 (Royal Society 2014) 5.8M

Number of people forecast to be needed in the app economy by 2018 (OECD)

THE SKILLS GAP IS SET TO GET LARGER….

"It's probably the best resource a teacher could have,”

"as long as we don't say they have to use it and just show what you can do with it."


Policies that encourage teachers & learners to adopt and adapt

• Release of Key Data (api) so you can monitor impact• Monitoring experiments for impact and then scaling the high impact• Relationship to productivity & macro-economic growth

the ‘value’ associated with filling those open jobs is £1 trillion 400 billion.

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendation 1:

National data sets should be made available so that educational initiatives can evaluate their impact at a fraction of the cost of doing it manually and in 1/10th the amount of time

Case Study:

• Careers and Employment Company• Founders4Schools Assessment Project

with National Pupils Database

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendation 2

Public funding and promotion currently reserved for ‘educational initiatives aimed at attainment or teacher productivity

should be directed towards collaborativeinitiatives based on impact AND cost of that intervention per child.

Case Studies: The ScaleUp Report case studies on Mass Challenge, Venture Fest and Endeavor

Collaboration is key

Key Messages

The Endeavor programme has cost an average of £405 for every job created in emerging economies, and this has beenfinanced largely without public funding (see case study below).

Furthermore, the Endeavor programme is financed in most cases without any public support, relying on private sector donations of funding and time, with a volunteer network of morethan 1,000 global and local business leaders.

Collaboration is key



Similarly, Mass Challenge and VentureFest have created more than 4,000 jobs between April 2010 and September 2013 at a cost of £1,285 per job, with just four per cent of funding coming from the public sector.

In stark contrast, the NationalAudit Office has shown that the UK government’s Regional Growth Fund had cost an average of £37,400 per job created.

teacher uses our service

• Cost per employable student £ 0.34

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendation 3

Ensure that students at schools, collegesand universities come into contact with the top 50 scale-up business-leaders within 20 miles of their establishment
