Our district is a 1:1 district (Chromebooks). The adoption of so much technology highlighted certain problems with our current software. Specifically:

1. Software was siloed. Applications did not talk to each other. Moreover, this silo effect prevented insights on student performance.

2. Applications needed to be platform agnostic. This meant web-based.

3. We needed a single-sign-on solution. Ideally, we wanted one username and password.

4. Where was the simplicity and modernity of education applications? Much of what our district used was dated, cumbersome, and expensive. Older applications created hoops for teachers and consumed significant amounts of time.

5. Finally, we needed a platform that allowed educators and students to create their own solutions. We needed a tool that was open, shareable, and could be used as a learning experience.
