The TeacherCast App Spotlight show

Summary: Jeff sits down with Ami Shah to discuss how Peekapak is able to help promote child development in grades PK-2. <br> About Peekapak<br> Peekapak aims to improve learning outcomes in early childhood by enabling teachers and parents to work as partners in a student’s education. Through Peekapak’s platform, teachers are provided digital access to Peekapak’s character development curriculum and extended home activities for families to reinforce the learning in the home. The platform will also track student progress so that both teachers and parents are able to get a complete view of how a student is developing in the class and at home. Peekapak is currently in private beta and is looking to partner with educators to test and pilot their program.<br> Links of Interest<br> <br> * <a href="http://twitter.com/peekapak">twitter.com/peekapak</a><br> * <a href="http://facebook.com/peekapak">facebook.com/peekapak</a><br> <br> <br> About our Guest<br> Ami Shsh is the CEO &amp; Co-founder of Peekapak, a recent graduate of the Imagine K12 Edtech Accelerator program based in Silicon Valley. Ami is passionate about improving youth education, and has previously taught in Vietnam.  She has extensive marketing experience from roles at Procter &amp; Gamble, and most recently, as Director of Retail Marketing at a consumer products start-ups. She has a MBA from INSEAD. You can connect with Ami on twitter: amishahdotca or on Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amishahdotca">https://www.linkedin.com/in/amishahdotca</a><br> <br> <br> Share the Love<br> <br> * If you enjoyed the show, please <a href="http://www.teachercast.net/itunes">rate us on iTunes</a> and write a brief review.
