Propel
Brooke Woodard, Rubin Propel and Email Etiquette.
As coordinator for the Academy of Small Business at Princeton High School in Johnston County, North Carolina, Brooke Woodard has a big challenge: teach her students to email professionally with the local business community.
That’s why Brooke relies on Rubin Propel, a groundbreaking extension for Gmail and Outlook that guides a student to write high-quality emails.
Thanks to Propel, Brooke has seen immediate improvement in her students’ email writing.
Student Daniella E. used Propel to land an internship at a local coffee shop. The 9th grader says her email etiquette made the difference.
Propel is the only tool of its kind devoted to teaching email etiquette. The product does not use AI to write for students or save personal identifiable information (PII).
Propel is not the same as Grammarly.
Grammarly
- Grammar assistance
- Spelling suggestions
- Sentence structure guidance
- Verb tense alignment
Propel
- Teaches a student how to structure an email from start to finish
- Guides a student to write a proper subject line
- Addresses soft skills (ex: greet the teacher with a formal title)
- Checks for texting shorthand and slang (ex: thx and btw)
- Provides data to school about student’s email improvement
