Looks great. One comment on your marketing copy:

"Students can watch Tablo lessons at home. No need to lecture in the classroom."

I'm not a teacher, but I imagine some portion of them would be offended by the "no need to lecture" bit. I know exactly what you mean, having watched the Khan Academy TED talk, but it might not come off the way you meant it to.

You're right. Do you have any other suggestions?

Unilateral information exchange doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Teachers don't want to hear that their classroom teaching time is or could be made unnecessary. Instead, emphasize good things they can do with classroom time that's freed up: More time for discussion, activities, and individual attention.
It can be a great supplement/refresher of what happened in the classroom.

Great resource for absent students.
