Ednoda Has Launched – Built for Teachers, Calling for Testers, Collaborators, and Contributors. After a year of solo building, I’m proud (and slightly nervous) to announce the MVP launch of Ednoda — a collaborative education platform designed to help English teachers create question sets, run interactive games, and track student progress in real time. Ednoda was born out of frustration. I spent 7 years teaching English in Korea, constantly reinventing materials, juggling prep time, and trying to keep 25 students engaged at once. So I taught myself to code and built the tool I wish I had back then. What’s live now: A working classroom dashboard A question builder (with smart workflows) Two interactive games set in the Enchanted Forest: 1) Risky-Reward — a high-stakes game where students can win big or lose everything 2) Safe-Return — a more strategic and balanced option for classrooms Teacher sign-up, classroom creation, and student response tracking — all fully functional What I need now: Teachers — especially ESL teachers — who want to test the platform and tell me what’s confusing, missing, and what they want to see next. Testers / QA-minded folks who like to break things and help spot bugs Potential collaborators who believe in EdTech and want to explore what contributing might look like. A co-founder — ideally someone technical or with deep EdTech, or EdGame experience, who’s ready to build something ambitious together This is very much an MVP. It’s a first draft of something bigger: A platform where teachers around the world contribute content together, personalize lessons for their students, and reduce burnout through better tools. If that mission speaks to you — as a teacher, a dev, a builder, or an EdTech believer — I’d love to talk. 👉 Try it here: www.ednoda.com 📩 Or message me directly if you want to explore working together. Let’s build something that actually helps teachers. — Nick de Waal Founder, Ednoda

Values, authenticity, and AI … I took a few minutes to talk about my wrestle with these things at StoryTap 👇 I’d love to hear from other tech & business leaders who are thinking critically about this too. #AI #Video #authenticity #values

It's World Kidney day today, and I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for Amy D. Waterman and her work collecting living donation stories. At StoryTap we're so proud to be able to partner and help collect these amazing stories on video. Check them out at the site below👇

Helping my eldest choose a university was a journey—one filled with endless scrolling, tours, and tough decisions. We explored countless university websites. We sifted through PDFs, links, and information overload. We attended in-person and virtual tours. The choices felt endless! After what felt like an eternity, he finally made his decision. 🎉 But something was missing. 💡 Real student video stories. ❌ Not “day in the life” vlogs. ❌ Not scripted marketing videos. What we needed were authentic insights—real students sharing their experiences and their WHY. We needed them at scale. We needed binge-able video content! 🎥 Talking with my son and his friends, they all wanted the same thing: genuine student stories. They wanted to see themselves in those stories. Why does this matter? ✔️ It builds trust. ✔️ It creates an emotional connection. ✔️ It helps prospective students picture themselves in that environment. Working at StoryTap, I see opportunities for video storytelling everywhere. And this was no exception. If my son had access to real student stories, would his decision have been easier? Maybe even different? I think so. It’s time to move beyond the status quo. Share the stories. Because choosing a university isn’t just about stats and rankings—it’s about so much more! To all my friends with kids about to start their university search—I see you! You’ve got this. 💪 https://lnkd.in/gM2uhFMv #CampusExperience #HigherEdMarketing #EdTech #Unversity #StudentRecruitment #UniversityAdmissions #Storytap
