That’s right, I’m starting a ClassRealm fight club where I pit students against each other and… wait. That’s not it. No, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are going to try<\/em> to make our ClassRealm online interface free (that includes any potential apps). During our Kickstarter we tacked on a price tag, but \u00a0I think that was to make ClassRealm look like a better backer reward. It’s kinda hard to say, “Give us money and we’ll give you something you could have gotten for free anyway!”<\/p>\n

So, no monthly fees. No one time fee. Free. It may not pan out that way in the very end, but I promise we will try to make it as\u00a0inexpensive\u00a0as possible. I don’t see why we couldn’t do it. That being said, once the interface is out and about for teachers to use we will likely be\u00a0accepting\u00a0donations.<\/p>\n

Educational tools shouldn’t be\u00a0expensive. I realize it takes time and money to\u00a0develop\u00a0them, but in the end it shouldn’t be about the profit. It should be about customizing educational needs for students. If ClassRealm inspires just one student in one classroom in some far off corner of the world to work harder then it will all be worth it.<\/p>\n

Yes, we are still working. No, the online interface will not be out soon. As much as it pains us to work this slowly it’s something that has to happen at this pace. I promise it will be worth it in the end. Haven’t you ever read “The Tortoise\u00a0and the Hare”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
