I am Mark Kim, CEO and Founder of SCHOOOL. I have been in the education industry for a long time, especially in the field of teaching English. I have also consistently pursued to change the ways of teaching and foreign language learning and have made attempts to give its methods the benefits of cutting edge technology.

I wanted to see a world where teachers can create their lessons instantly and share them with the world in a snap. When the internet came to the world, sharing became much easier, being a revolution. However, creating lectures was still in the darkness of conventional world. To make student-friendly multimedia lectures, we had to go to the studio, or at least had to be equipped with expensive audio and video devices and ask for the help of technicians. Creating multimedia lectures was still not an easy job to the majority of instructors.

Finally, with the appearance of mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, the creation of multimedia lectures became so easy and simple. It was the time when I exclaimed “Eureka!!” “Yes, this is it!” The smart phone is already a flawless computer in the palm of your hand, the capacity of which is equivalent to the workstation of 10 years ago.

It has a camera, enabling people to take photos and to film videos. Besides, it has a microphone that enables teachers to record their lectures on the spot. Astonishingly, it is connected to the internet at every moment, which allows lecturers to post their lessons whenever they want. What is it? It is the super effective lecture-creating device which has never existed before. When I thought of the smartphone’s potential for versatility in education, I couldn’t even sleep because I had finally gotten all the pieces of the puzzles set.
