The mission of Grammar Mechanics Foundation is to advance the teaching of English grammar and related English skills through the use of information technology and the internet.
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| Grammar Mechanics offers an online classroom to teach English grammar for middle school students to adults. Both our Basic Grammar and SAT/ACT Prep programs are offered free worldwide to all subscribers. In addition, free lesson plans augmenting the Basic Grammar program are offered to all teachers. At this time we have stopped developing programs in Adobe Flash, the animation program that we have used in the past, because Adobe Flash cannot be used on mobile devices so Adobe has stopped supporting its Flash software. We are currently waiting to see what software program(s) will replace Flash that can be supported on IPhones, Smart Phones, and Ipads and will use our resources to convert our animation over when the new software becomes available. 2013 Grammar Mechanics Accomplishments We are working with a young programmer to review and correct any technical game and scoring issues. It is always an ongoing process as we see new additions we would like to make to the site.We have created over 50 YouTube videos, highlighting for teachers the most effective way to teach the grammar materials presented in our program.Because IPhones and Smart Phones can now access YouTube videos, we have also created quick cameo videos to teach the specific grammar skills. These videos have proven to be popular as a way to provide our program to not only those using computers but also those who only access the Internet through mobile devices.We are constantly upgrading and creating new lesson plans and have approximately 900 visitors to our site a month. Google Analytics reported a 16.79% increase in the number of visitors to our site this year, despite the fact that we have put no funds into advertising at all in the past 4 years. A significant number of students and teachers around the world continue to find us. Greatest number of users: USA, India, Philippines, UK, Canada, Pakistan, Malaysia, Australia, and Thailand. | $3,999 | - |
