Tricycle

Tricycle

A Social learning network platform that connects parents, teachers, and students. Simply saying, the Mata-Pita-Guru-Shishya network.

Parents: Is it sufficient to get bare-minimum feedbacks from teachers, through century-old models of Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTM) and report cards? This is due to the lack of mediums available to share other feedback. There is no actionable or trackable feedback possible even via WhatsApp group share. However, we all agree that we need feedback from all the role players, on academic, non-academic (extracurricular), and behaviour parameters.

Teachers: There is no systematic way to engage with either, parents or with their fellow members of other institutions. Communicating the school culture & expectations with the parents is never done regularly. In addition to parent-teacher engagement, for ages teachers’ creative works have been limited to the institution they work for and even in this tech era, no community platform helps them share among their counterparts, leading to the duplicity of creative works.

Students: Digital transformation is an indisputable force revolutionizing our life, reinventing our products, redefining our services, and reshaping the way we educate & work. Our children are born & are growing up in this very different world. The impact is so dramatic that expecting them not to spend time on social media platforms is unrealistic. Will it not be better if we prepare them to use it for their development? Wouldn’t it be easy if they could share their knowledge, ideas, expertise, opportunity, creatives, achievements, and feedback with their circle, same as any other social media network they are used to?
