About GoKnow®

GoKnow, Inc. is a new company founded by Elliot Soloway, Ronald Marx, and Joseph Krajcik of the University of Michigan's Center for Highly Interactive Computing in Education (Hi-CE), specializing in scientifically-validated and standards-based curriculum, technology, and professional development for K-12.

Backed by over 10 years and $20 million of classroom-based research funded by organizations such as the National Science Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation, GoKnow's products are based on empirical research on how children learn best, and are demonstrated to improve children's learning abilities as measured by standardized tests.

GoKnow has existing products in the marketplace that utilize the large installed base of personal computers in schools today. Further, GoKnow is already looking ahead toward the tremendous opportunity that wireless and handheld computing devices provide. To this end, GoKnow has developed a suite of educational software for use with Palm OS® devices, and the company founders are recognized leaders in developing products for the handheld and wireless market.

In addition, GoKnow is now offering in-depth professional development seminars focused on successful implementation of handheld computers in classrooms and schools.
