Speaking on behalf of all teachers, there is an overwhelming amount of technological resources available to enhance learning and teaching and not a clear and efficient way to discover them or specifically categorize them. Our product asks teachers a series of questions focused on their background with technology and what they are trying to achieve in the classroom, then uses the data to find a set of education-related technological apps or platforms the teacher can use to improve the classroom learning dynamics.

Through trial and error of ideas (and many hours later) we agreed to complete this project. There was technological issues initializing the back end, but other than that there were no technological issues. Our group learned how difficult it can be to work as a team and solve a problem that a solution doesn’t already exist for. Areas for future improvement would be to further populate our database with relevant information, create a log in system so professors can submit their ratings about each tech solution and add comments, build a better UI and a better fuctioning search bar.

This project runs with a local MySQL database and uses PHP and mysqli so you should install those if you want to run it.

In the code you can change the name of the DB, username and password to suit your needs.

In the .php files you will have to change the username, password, database and table name.

To run a php server use the command php -S localhost:8000

Then type localhost:8000/Website/main.html on your web browser to run the
