BetterLesson

Mission:
To provide teachers with the tools to create, organize, and share curricula in a dynamic and sustainable manner.

Background:
BetterLesson is an online social network designed to help educators create, organize, and share their lesson plans, materials, and other instructional resources and offer feedback on other users' work. To generate revenue, BetterLesson offers premium network subscriptions for districts and charter management organizations, providing enhanced functionality such as the ability to share content exclusively within a network or with the broader BetterLesson community.

Outstanding Web Features:
Registered users can share resources and materials, add new colleagues to their network, send messages, and create a profile. In addition to a teacher's professional history, individual profiles list the number of times they have been viewed by other users as well as any shared content. Visitors to the site also can browse more than 106,000 lesson plans, share ideas with other users, and join or create a network for educators with a common interest, location, or background. In addition, the site offers an FAQ and a blog.
