Hey Jarred - since you're actually in a school, could you ask a couple of your teachers if they would actually pay for something out of their own pocket even if all it did would make their work life easier? And how much? And what would it take?
I ask because conventionally companies that have taken this approach (eg. Xobni) of building a great consumer products that solve problems in the workplace have generally struggled to actually monetise it. Typically folks expect their boss to pay for that sort of thing.
Perhaps the classroom is different though - perhaps teachers perceive something that makes their work-life easier (maybe halving the time they need to spend marking after class) as being worth personal investment (because they know the stogy guy in the IT Department will never pay for it).
Ask a couple of teachers (and if you could, let us know what they say!).
