We welcome you to Shmoopkinland. These courses cover nearly every subject under
- 00:15
the sun…

…and a strict adherence to the Common Core. We are launching with a dozen courses…
- 00:24
These guys here:
- 00:25
…and we will be producing a half dozen or so more per month.
- 00:30
Forever… ish.
- 00:31
We've got year-long core courses… like junior-year English, a.k.a. American Lit…
- 00:36
…semester-long elective courses, like Introduction to Shakespeare…
- 00:40
…and adorable little three-week nano courses. Dr. Seuss, anyone?
- 00:46
Each course is chock full of all the goodies any teacher dreams of:
- 00:50
We're talking entertaining and informative videos,
- 00:55
flashcards,
- 00:58
study questions,
- 01:00
quizzes,
- 01:01
glossaries,
- 01:02
in-depth activities,
- 01:04
and even the dreaded rubrics.
- 01:09
So what sets us apart?
- 01:11
Let's see…
- 01:14
Our punchlines…
- 01:17
Our 100% original content…
- 01:21
Our interactive nature…
- 01:23
The list goes on.
- 01:25
But above all, it's our love of teachers.
- 01:28
Want proof?
- 01:29
Here you go: Our online courses give teachers the opportunity
- 01:33
to form their own classrooms and deal only with their itty-bitty group of students.
- 01:37
And since that O stands for Original, they’re not really… open.
- 01:38
In other words, you're not going to get some random from across the globe sneaking in through
- 01:38
the back door of cyberspace hoping to… uh… “audit”.
- 01:38
Doesn’t matter who or where you are, Shmoop will cater to you and your needs.
- 01:43
Private school in the middle of Nebraska? No problem.
- 01:47
Public school in upstate New York? We gotcha covered.
- 01:50
Performing Arts Academy on the frozen tundra of Alaska? We’ll work with you. And we’ll
- 01:55
send you a scarf. Yep, there are real people behind Shmoop's firewall.
- 02:00
Our aim is to aid educators—not to replace them. Information is global, yes. But teaching?
- 02:06
That's local. Shmoop recognizes that the world is changing
- 02:10
and the classroom is evolving quickly.
- 02:13
Electronic blackboards, iPads… even pencils are getting high-tech.
- 02:16
Yeah, electronic courses make some people nervous, but we’ll bet dollars to donuts
- 02:21
that, decades from now….
- 02:22
…none of these products will exist in their current form… but teachers will still be
- 02:28
around.
- 02:28
So… back off, robots. Any questions? Shoot us an email at
