Today,​ ​Chalkup​ ​is​ ​announcing​ ​that​ ​over​ ​1​ ​million​ ​educational​ ​resources​ ​have​ ​been​ ​built​ ​on​ ​and shared​ ​on​ ​the​ ​platform.

“Nothing​ ​makes​ ​us​ ​prouder​ ​than​ ​the​ ​work​ ​teachers​ ​are​ ​doing​ ​with​ ​students​ ​on​ ​Chalkup”​ ​stated Justin​ ​Chando,​ ​the​ ​founder​ ​and​ ​CEO​ ​of​ ​Chalkup.​ ​“Our​ ​vision​ ​is​ ​to​ ​build​ ​the​ ​world’s​ ​largest library​ ​of​ ​educational​ ​resources.​ ​We’re​ ​working​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​build​ ​the​ ​platform​ ​that​ ​helps​ ​teachers around​ ​the​ ​world​ ​(including​ ​my​ ​own​ ​mother)​ ​find​ ​innovative​ ​new​ ​content​ ​and​ ​resources​ ​to engage​ ​students​ ​digitally.”
Over​ ​a​ ​million​ ​assignments,​ ​rubrics,​ ​lesson​ ​plans,​ ​lecture​ ​recordings,​ ​and​ ​educational​ ​videos​ ​on Chalkup​ ​now​ ​reach​ ​students​ ​around​ ​the​ ​world.​ ​The​ ​San​ ​Francisco​ ​based​ ​company​ ​is​ ​quickly becoming​ ​the​ ​world’s​ ​largest​ ​library​ ​of​ ​educator-generated​ ​resources.

Since​ ​launching​ ​in​ ​2014,​ ​Chalkup​ ​has​ ​spread​ ​to​ ​8,500​ ​schools​ ​in​ ​120+​ ​countries.​ ​Chalkup’s Lydia​ ​Fayal​ ​attributes​ ​the​ ​rapid​ ​growth​ ​to​ ​instructional​ ​content:​ ​“Chalkup​ ​is​ ​how​ ​educators​ ​learn from​ ​each​ ​other;​ ​for​ ​example,​ ​teachers​ ​at​ ​Proctor​ ​Academy​ ​in​ ​New​ ​Hampshire​ ​co-teach​ ​classes with​ ​teachers​ ​in​ ​Egypt​ ​--​ ​the​ ​students​ ​even​ ​work​ ​on​ ​group​ ​projects​ ​and​ ​discuss​ ​lectures​ ​through Chalkup.”

Chalkup​ ​differentiates​ ​itself​ ​from​ ​traditional​ ​Learning​ ​Management​ ​System​ ​(LMS)​ ​options, preferring​ ​the​ ​description​ ​“class​ ​collaboration​ ​platform.”​ ​The​ ​company’s​ ​mission​ ​is​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a beautiful,​ ​user-friendly​ ​answer​ ​to​ ​the​ ​traditional​ ​LMS.​ ​Its​ ​seamless​ ​integration​ ​with​ ​Google’s​ ​G Suite​ ​for​ ​Education​ ​and​ ​unique​ ​co-teaching​ ​tools​ ​set​ ​it​ ​apart​ ​from​ ​competitors.​ ​Teachers​ ​are flocking​ ​to​ ​Chalkup​ ​and​ ​then​ ​driving​ ​school-wide​ ​adoption.

Teacher​ ​Feedback

“Our​ ​students​ ​love​ ​Chalkup.​ ​It​ ​keeps​ ​them​ ​digitally​ ​organized​ ​in​ ​a​ ​way​ ​they​ ​never​ ​have​ ​before and​ ​expands​ ​their​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​interact​ ​with​ ​teachers​ ​and​ ​classmates,”​ ​explained​ ​Steve​ ​Rubin,​ ​the head​ ​of​ ​technology​ ​for​ ​The​ ​San​ ​Francisco​ ​School.

“Chalkup’s​ ​powerful​ ​discussion​ ​features,​ ​and​ ​intuitive​ ​design​ ​make​ ​it​ ​the​ ​best​ ​choice​ ​for meaningful​ ​student​ ​engagement”​ ​said​ ​Adam​ ​Jones,​ ​an​ ​educator​ ​at​ ​Proctor​ ​Academy​ ​in Andover,​ ​NH.
