Medida y Compas is developing blended courses (part on line and part in person) for teachers to integrate technology into their teaching in Mexico. There is a big push to get Internet coverage throughout Mexico and it is very important to improve the quality of teaching in order not to lose any more generations.MyC pitch_0001. Teachers are willing to learn computer skills and new software. If you are interested in more information go to: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcfvwhp5_227r9khb2cn

I am not very familiar with any learning software but i have studied K12 a little. I will cube them. http://www.k12.com/
Face 1. Market
They are as their name suggests focused on the K12 educational market
Face 2. Offering
They offer mainly content. They have all the courses for students to do online learning K thru 12
Face 3. The buyer
K12 mainly sells to state governments in the US who then offfer it to their citizens as an option to state schooling. K12 is also getting a few students whose parents are buying the training for them, mainly american expats in countries with no american school offering.
Face 4. Global markets
K12’s largest market is in the US. They are now going overseas to families seeking an american education, i.e. countries with quality internet without translation but all over the world, asian countries, latin countries, middle eastern countries. So a large market in the U.S. and a much more pulverized market elsewhere.
Face 5. Development of the market
If we look at the specific market they are going after it is a market that supports import of content and infrastructure. These are foreigners who want an american education or americans abroad who are looking for an american education. If they decide to grow their market then it would have to be analized country by country.
Face 6. Learning technology competes with existing forms of learning. Both in the US as well as oversees the family decides if this is the best option for their children versus the state education in schools or the local offerings oversees.

Hola desde Mexico
My name is Barbara Mair, this is my first ETEC course. I am very excited about the course although i am a little nervous because it has been a long time since i was a student. Unlike many of you i am living in the business world, mainly management, sales and marketing. I want to learn more about the academic world. I am launching hybrid (online/onsite) training for teachers in Mexico, hopefully helping them integrate technology into the classroom. I am looking forward to working with you and learning from you
