The universal fact is that teachers are underpaid, constantly overworked or even both. Education technology can be the key to facilitating these problems. As much as teachers are excited by the new, creative, and high-appeal formats that digital content and interactive tools offer, many find that they do not have the resources, skills, or time to use them.
Tebo directly tackles these challenges by creating a cloud-based environment where teachers can include everything they need for interactive lessons. The heart of Tebo is the materials library. It is organized by subjects and grades, and evaluated by teachers. Teachers upload their materials into the library and the uploaded resources can be found by simply browsing through folders or via a simple search.
For instance, presently teachers spend on average 1-2 hours on finding usable video from Internet; majority of videos found by a simple keyword search do not have education quality nor are age specific. Once a teacher finds an educationally valuable video, he or she can upload the link of the video into the Tebo library, classify it by grade or subject and thereby make it easily accessible for colleagues who are struggling with the same task. Moreover, teachers spend 2-3 hours to create a high quality slide presentations, that are shared it with just the class or limited number of colleagues. Tebo enables to find suitable presentation in less than 2 minutes and thereby save time of creating content that already exists.
In addition to the library Tebo includes templates for building interactive exercises, tests and learning games. The created exercises, quizzes and games can be shared with students and used by other teachers. Students can open the assignments in class or home with any Internet-connected device. After students have completed the assignment teacher gets full analytics on individual student or class progress and can the give real time feedback to students.
