A3: PRINF- PRint INFinitely
Have you ever printed more than 10 papers just to realize that you printed them by mistake or you don’t need them any more? Does it make you feel bad that you can only recycle them now? Don’t you wish to have a machine that reverse the printing where you can get your paper and […]
A3 – Concierge by Top Hat
This venture is a proposed new market for an established startup Classroom Management Software company, Top Hat. Top Hat currently has no presence in the K-12 market. Most marketers would agree that educators are slow to embrace technology. It’s not a resistance to tech per se, but a resistance to the expenditure of precious time […]
simia: reinvent the virtual classroom
Schools around the world have switched to online platforms, but none of these platforms were designed for use in schools. The result is a clunky mode of delivery that makes it difficult to develop that classroom connection. For teachers, building that understanding of students and their progress is even more difficult. Many students feel isolated. […]
A3 – EA Assist
As a former Special Needs educator I have always admired the hard work and dedication of the Educational Assistants (EAs) that I worked with.

PrivaSearch is based on an idea that I got from listening to a Canadian podcast called CyberSecurED. I came across the idea at the end of episode 2: Are Schools Ready for Data Breaches? In this episode their guest, Stephen Abouldahab suggests that educators need a product to help them vet the privacy policies of […]
A3 – CWTS
Welcome to my A3. Every year Canada increases the immigration levels, resulting in more new immigrants entering the workforce which translates to corporations and business having an increase in international employees. However, companies also need to understand how subtle differences in cultural and language nuances can affect employees. CWTS – Corporate World Training Solutions is […]
A3-On-Demand Tutoring (CQ Tutors)
When we first went onto online teaching back in March (we are just returning to it tomorrow) I found my students worked at all hours of the day. Moreover, this got me thinking about how our schedules may not be the most conducive to ALL students. Eventually, I started to think about tutoring, which I […]
