Educade
Content Management and Strategy, 2011-2013
Educade was a companion website to the PlayMaker School, created by the team I was a part of at GameDesk. Educade was awarded AT&T’s largest-ever grant to an educational organization. The site was designed to share our PlayMaker School model, including the curriculum we created to support it, and the tools and technologies we found and curated to facilitate the curriculum. I managed the content and research team that did the curation and curriculum creation and also served on the project team that designed the site architecture, content strategy, taxonomy, and overall user experience.
