	About Us Why WetheTeachers sprung out of a hypothetical idea that Nate and Amy Chambers had in the fall of 2005. After getting frustrated from fruitless searches for lesson plans and ideas, Amy wondered why there were so few websites that effectively catered to teachers. There is a lot of information, but little is organized. Even worse, many times the resources you need are only available with a yearly fee. They imagined a website that combined both the resource aspect of teacher-focused sites, and the community aspect of social websites. Many months of work later, the site was born! The name WetheTeachers comes from the US Constitution preamble, We the People. In many respects, the site rises or falls based on the democratic idea of power residing with the people. If teachers choose to sit out, little help will be available for other teachers. But if everyone creates a profile, joins an interest group, submits lesson plans, meets new teachers seeking help...it can and will rise, and oh how far can it rise! In the end, we just hope to provide educators the help they need, and to make them as effective as possible. The Founders, Nate and Amy are the ideal couple for a place like WetheTeachers. Amy has an advanced degree in education and teaches full-time...Nate has an advanced degree in computer science. Nate strongly believed everything should be free to the teachers (knowing firsthand how little his wife was paid), and so used his personal time and background in technology to create an easy to use, friendly environment for teachers to meet. Who In January 2008, Nate & Amy sold their rights to the Site to VIP Tone, Inc. (www.viptone.com). VIP Tone specializes in education technology for pre K-20 schools and has offices in the United States and Australia. VIP Tone's founder, Robert Iskander, is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who desires to give back to the global education community. WeTheTeachers reaches out to thousands of teachers from around the world, offering them a FREE communication and collaboration infrastructure. VIP Tone has been investing in further developing the Site and has plans to enhance its capabilities to make it the preferred site on the Web for teachers around the world. For more information, please contact us at: wtt@viptone.com "We originally just wanted a really well organized site for lesson plans...but what was born was something much much better...yes, it is a website where teachers can share, rate, and discuss their lesson plans, but it is also a place where they can meet, talk, and network. You don't just find a lesson plan you like, you can meet the person who wrote it!" -Nate
