When I asked several of the teachers I work with if they have tried your site, I was surprised at how many people have not heard of you. My suggestion is to become better known throughout the Education Industry. Possibility: Contact all the superintendents (or their assistants) in all the districts, state by state, district by district (a daunting task yes, but it could pay off!) and introduce your site. Teachers do talk across district lines, yes, and that helps, but, a \"get-to-know-us\" campaign could be great.\r\n - I tried to upload a photo of myself and don't believe I was successful.
