Teachers are losing control of their original curriculum content due to Nearpod (now owned by Renaissance) watermarking and locking user-created lessons, forcing hours of manual extraction and recreation.

Existing EdTech platforms like Nearpod do not guarantee content ownership and can retroactively watermark or restrict access to teacher-created materials, with no support for resolution.
