MyEdLink Combines the Best of Social Media for Educators with New Intercultural Learning Exchange

    CLARKSBURG, MD, March 09, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To advance student learning worldwide educators need access to the right tools, subject-matter expertise and professional support. Over the last decade, social media has helped K-12 and Higher Education remove long-standing barriers to improve accessibility and availability to these resources, in turn facilitating knowledge sharing and intercultural understanding. However, the sheer amount of social networks available has in itself created a barrier for both teachers and administrators as many users struggle to navigate effectively across multiple channels. MyEdLink seeks to address this challenge. Combining key social networking features like status updates, file sharing and blog hosting, for example, MyEdLink takes the best of what social media has to offer and encapsulates key social networking features into one, intuitive interface built specifically with the educator in mind.

Even after more than thirty years teaching, founder and CEO Ajuer Sood's mother was surprised to learn how much education systems varied from country to country. As a result, she realized the value in understanding how other education systems and learning environments operated differently from her own. This is how MyEdLink was conceived. A learning exchange platform, MyEdLink was developed to promote intercultural collaboration, dialogue, understanding and leadership among educators in the U.S. and abroad. Request your invite.

"MyEdLink wasn't created to compete with other, major social networks. It was created to allow educators to easily connect with other educators in a single, secure location online -- no matter where they are in the world," said Mr. Sood. "MyEdLink helps educators provide excellence beyond the traditional classroom. This means giving them access to a global network of colleagues who are as dedicated to elevating education as they are."

With MyEdLink, teachers and administrators across the globe can exchange information and share experiences in a single platform designed specifically for them. Similar to other social networks, each member is able to customize their profile based on interests and professional experience. Members can also create and join user groups to ask and answer questions, share useful articles, build influence among colleagues and submit original content for group feedback. Additionally, members can post and apply to job openings aligned with their career path. All MyEdLink features can be used publically or privately. Other features include:

- Social media wall
- Status updates and notifications
- Document, image and video file sharing
- Blog hosting

Until now, educators could not host and upload blogs to the same social network in which they posted status updates. MyEdLink allows members to host multiple blogs at any given time without a cap on how many blog pages they can create, and all from the same online community. MyEdLink simply works as a host site, granting members the ability to launch a personal or professional blog that doesn't require users to switch back and forth between hosting platforms.

"We are aware that 'evolution' is a natural process and that 'education' is one of the best tools to ensure successful evolution for generations to come. As an educator I have realized that we accept this fact but limit the process through the unwritten confines of our education systems," said Dr. Kanan, Educationist "While communicating socially, MyEdlink provides facilities to people like me to ask questions, clarify doubts, post ideas, share pedagogical skills and much more."

MyEdLink is an invite-only learning exchange for K-12 and Higher Education teachers and administrators worldwide. For more information on MyEdLink or to request your invite please email: [email protected] or [email protected].
