Edtech Digest Interview with Martin Brutosky: The Simplicity of eChalk

A K-12 software platform that schools use to manage communication and instruction—that’s what eChalk is. The company was founded in 1999 in response to the growing need for technologies and services that would meaningfully connect teachers, students, and parents to the information and resources they need to be successful. Torrance Robinson and Daniel Watts, eChalk’s co-founders, met while working in New York City schools and shared a vision for increasing student engagement through the Internet. They quickly became leading advocates for e-rate, which has had a profound effect on school connectivity. With that as their origin, eChalk is especially proud of its long track record of focusing exclusively on the interests of K-12 schools. Martin Brutosky joined the company in 2008, bringing more than 30 years of experience in education technology and software. Here, Martin talks about the beauty of simplicity, the right climate for innovation—and as a bonus to readers of this interview—Martin introduces a special offer.
