DreamBox: My Purple Cow

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Recently, I reread Seth Godin’s book Purple Cow. It’s about transforming your business by being remarkable. There’s a lot of talk about what it means to be remarkable. Of course I read the book thinking about our product, DreamBox Learning K-2 Math. But more and more, I thought about my job at DreamBox as being the truly remarkable. Before DreamBox, I taught in elementary schools for 9 years. I loved the classroom. Even with all the frustrations, low pay and school politics, I loved teaching, and I wasn’t looking to leave the classroom. Then came the call from a former parent. He founded a start-up company and needed a teacher. Was I interested?

An Inauguration of a Different Sort

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

[But] we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.” We at DreamBox Learning welcome your words.

Working Toward Personal Obsolescence

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Math Learning Through Experience

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
I always say I learn everything the hard way. By that I mean I don’t learn a lesson as well when I hear about someone else’s mistake as I do when I make it myself. Experience really is the best teacher.

My Husband Says I’m a “Start-up Junkie”

Friday, September 12th, 2008
True, I've worked for six start-ups in the last ten years. I love working with start-ups; they have a special energy about them that I haven't found in other business environments -- especially as an accountant.
