I figured with the mention of EdYoucator I should probably let you all know about something we have been developing internally for quite some time. It’s called unity and it basically ties together a bunch of our APIs into one nice interface..
I made a site like EdYouCator about a year ago (“called primary school teaching”) and it fell on it’s face. Teachers just weren’t given enough carrot to create/submit lesson plans. Hopefully EdYouCator can get it right and we can use them as a Lesson plan API. What would suck is if EdYouCator didn’t have an API so information was one way.. I will be keeping an eye on that and calling them out if this is the case!
First of all let’s just get one thing clear. This is not disruptive tech, nor does it replace safe search or Google Search. It is a centralized resource search engine that will be one of many you can use, unity will focus purely on Primary School relevant material.
Yep, it’s “another” search box with data aggregation and I’m so tired of writing sites like this so this is the last one and will hopefully be my last project in php / mysql before I move onto nodejs and more websocket/really real time stuff.
Unity is currently in closed private beta and is due late 2011. Get in touch if you want exclusive beta access.
