Need help with Educreations Chris will help

Hello today I interviewed Chris he is the Co-Founder of Educreations. This blog is a part of "We've Got Our I's On Careers." Here are some of the things I have learned from Chris.
    
                     Chris went to University of California at Berkeley. He got his degree in Computer Sceince.Chris is the Co-Founder of Educreations. He said he was inspired by many people but mostly his 6th grade teacher. His 6th grade teacher encouraged him to use computers and video editing. Some other things that inspired him are Khan Academy. He made Educreations so that students that who need help can watch how to do it. He said when he was in school he had friends that could use a little extra help. The teacher was to busy to help them.  His idea for Educreations started while he was working at a computer company. He wasn't having a good time and he wanted to do something more interesting. He has a gym a ping pong table, and a basket ball course for his employe's. So that they can have a healthy brain to keep them focus. Chris also believe's that you should enjoy were you are working. He's planning on improving Educreations by saving you're work in progress, so that you can back and finish it. Notice he did not say when it will be  revealed. He gets user feedback to see how you are using the app, and what needs to be improved.
         Chris has to do a lot of computer programming. He said learning computer programming is just like learning another  language. Chris said a lot of the programming is mostly based on mathematical answers. Educreations is a place where anyone can create video lessons. We use Educreations in my class uses it every day. It is really easier to make the video instead of explaining it to the class. Well I would like to thank Chris. For taking his time and letting us interview him. I'll write to you next time stay tuned!
