 (Full disclosure: I really like what this company Classroom Window is doing and how they want to aggregate teacher opinions into something that can make a difference and am in negotiations to have a (very small) stake in this company.

Also, however, note that I never work with anyone that I wouldn't recommend whether I was officially "working" with them or not.)
