I have a question for teachers and educators out there. This isn't a marketing or sales pitch, but a real question from someone who wants to enter the education software business.

My company, Jump On Learning, completed our first product for K-5. It's a comprehensive suite based on extensive research: Current education/teaching trends, existing education software, what teachers want out of software, etc. We wanted our software to be useful, a product that meets teacher and student goals rather than just being on the computer for the sake of being on a computer.

I could go on about its features and goals, but what we need is to field-test our product in schools. We haven't had much luck with that so far. If you were trying to make contacts in schools, who would you talk to? How would you approach schools and convince them to try out this new product? Would you call the principal of a school, someone in the school board, etc? I tried calling individuals in school boards...See More
Jamie It sounds as though you're software is geared to meet the demands of RTI. If so, I would approach the person at each school in charge of RTI. At some schools, it is the special ed director while at others it is the principal and some both.
