Recently I spoke with Alex Mathews, a senior web application
developer at Belouga, a free, web-based educational platform
connecting classrooms all around the world. This cutting-edge
company has quickly been expanding, now offering over 900 classes
in 60+ countries since their launch in September 2016.
Incorporating easy to use technology, Belouga is the perfect
enhancement for any teacher looking to expand his or her classroom
beyond borders. Their platform also rewards participating students
with points and uses these points to provide items to schools
around the world that are under-resourced.
Bio:
Founded in 2016, Belouga was started with the mission to encourage
intercultural communication to create a better tomorrow. We're
building a global ecosystem where students and teachers can
connect, collaborate and learn from one another by identifying
similarities and embracing differences through everyday
communication that is fun and educational.
With the advancement of technology in the classroom, we saw an
amazing opportunity to connect students from all over the world,
regardless of timezones. Along with bringing students together, we
also saw an opportunity to enhance student life around the world on
a daily basis.
