StudyTag Key Concepts

StudyTag is based on some key concepts. The first is simple, we believe it is possible in just five minutes a day (5MAD) to significantly augment and supplement a student's education on any topic.

We have created StudyTag:
  • So parents may fully understand and track their children's progress.

  • So students may quickly and effectively master important facts.

  • So teachers may live up to the promise of no child left behind.
StudtyTag believes it is possible to create a learning system that tutors, tracks, and educates without grades, judgment, and fear. We also believe it is time to change the focus away from grades and back to mastery.

The secret to our success in contained in the following three equations:

1. 10 reinforcements a minute x 5 minutes a day x 200 days per year x 12 years = 120,000 reinforcements

2. 120,000 reinforcements / 200 reinforcements per concepts = 600 concepts

3. 600 concepts = mastery

I'll expand further on these equations to see how they are central to education, yet simple to implement.
