David Chanin

David, an EE student from the "other" side of campus, presented his tool for teachers to help them analyze how students are doing, in real time.

His prototype, developed with a CS guy and and MBA on campus, is for K-12 teachers.

Update: He is getting feedback on who else is working in this space, and how he can create an advantage with a "hand in my homework" app, where students can take a picture of their homework, and this will be sent to the teacher interface which will help automatically grade the homework and put the results into the teacher's individual (for that student) and class analytics. Also, how to get over the hurdle of "teachers write homework questions for their students" and they don't like to accept pre-done assignments.

Response: EduSoft only used for really big assessments, there is still a niche for new analytic tools for K-12 teachers. And the sell point this is analytics, not pre-written homework.

Also, administrators are asking teachers to do analytics, but not telling them how.
