Education Music Company, education everytime, Wins $50,000 in New Orleans Big Idea Competition

/in , /by


New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

education everytime, a startup that uses educational music as a classroom management tool for teachers, won $ 50,000 in prize money by beating out 15 entrepreneurs at the Big Idea contest during New Orleans Entrepreneur Week. The company is slated to launch its music-streaming service for K-12 teachers in time for the 2013-14 school year.

Founder Lorenzo Castillo, along with the help of fellow teachers and their students, pitched to the crowd of 1,700 and garnered enough support to present the winning pitch at the final round. During the meet and greet, they explained how the music helps teachers save time by establishing clear start and end times while also improving classroom culture. “The music helps teachers manage daily routines that often cut into instructional time,” says Castillo, a 5th grade teacher himself. “Saving just a few minutes on a daily basis results in days and even weeks of added learning time over the course of a school year.”

Castillo makes all recordings with his team, laying vocals over custom-made music beats to create songs that help guide students through specific classroom procedures. For example, in the song “Better Than I Found It”, Castillo raps, “paper in the trash, then I’m bouncing / on to the next class, up a mountain”. The song provides students with behavioral instructions (putting “paper in the trash”) and reinforces key values (“on to the next class, up a mountain,” a reference to KIPP’s metaphor “Climb the Mountain to College”).

Deion Brown, a 6th grade math teacher at YES Prep Northbrook school in Houston, Texas, has found education everytime to be a practical tool. “The systems outlined through hip-hop verses engage students of today’s generation and help them to easily remember key routines for success,” says Brown. “The students absolutely love the music,” adds James Mosely, 7th and 8th grade Social Studies teacher at KIPP Polaris Academy for Boys in Houston, Texas. “The music really calms the students and gets them focused for class… It is amazing to see how the students respond to the music with productivity. Teaching a class of all boys can be challenging at times, but this music is something that engages them in learning as well as relaxes them.”

With the seed money from the Entrepreneur Week contest, education everytime is set to release its music-streaming service for teachers in time for the 2013-14 school year. Updates on the release can be found at educationeverytime.com. Teachers can subscribe for a low monthly fee, allowing unlimited access to the entire catalog of music and accompanying materials.

About education everytime

education everytime provides teachers and schools with a music streaming service to manage student behavior during daily school and class routines. The music empowers teachers to manage their classrooms with greater efficiency and control, while also boosting engagement by using popular, culturally-relevant music in the classroom. It was founded in 2009 by KIPP alum Lorenzo Castillo, who began infusing music into his classroom as a KIPP teacher to enhance his students’ learning. Over the past 3 years, e2 music has been implemented in classrooms from New York to New Orleans and has reached over 1,000 students with meaningful and inspiring results.

/in , /by

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) December 07, 2013

Huddle, the cloud content collaboration supplier, has continued its award success as the company received the award for “Emerging Star of the Year” at the UK Tech Awards 2013. In addition, the company’s CEO Alastair Mitchell has been selected as one of Computer Weekly’s “Ten Rising Stars” at the publication’s CW Tech 50 Awards.

Huddle’s latest accolades follow on from a series of recent award wins. These include ‘Supplier of the Year’ at Computer Weekly’s European User Awards for Enterprise Software, Gold Stevie Award Winner in the Business / Government category, Bronze Stevie Winner in the Computer Services category, and the Markie award for “Metrics that Matter”. The company was also shortlisted as a finalist for the UK IT Industry Awards 2013 and the SuperNova Awards 2013.

“To win at the UK Tech Awards and then have Alastair named as one of Computer Weekly’s ten rising stars is a real honor and it’s great that all the hard work we’re doing at Huddle is being recognized by so many people,” says Chris Boorman, CMO, Huddle. “We’re transforming the way that people work, giving them technology needed to work effectively across departments, teams and organizations, rather than just within them. Huddle brings teams that are working together into one secure, central environment that can be accessed from any location, on any device.”

Founded in 2006, Huddle now has offices in London, San Francisco, New York and Washington. It was co-founded by Alastair Mitchell and Andy McLoughlin when they became frustrated with the existing enterprise technology’s inability to help people work together. Through their leadership, Huddle has raised in excess of $ 40 million in funding and is now used by more than 100,000 enterprise and government organizations worldwide. Globally recognized brands such as Panasonic Europe, Grant Thornton, P&G, Kia Motors and Unilever, as well as 80% of central UK government departments, use Huddle to share and work on content with teams inside and outside of their organizations.

Huddle’s next generation content collaboration platform was developed to tackle key problems in the enterprise: security being compromised, content overwhelming enterprise, legacy software failing to cope, leading to failed deployments and making it difficult to work together.

We believe TraceLink embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. TraceLink should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was the strongest it has ever been.”
