•
A searchable database of web addresses that take the users to a variety
of teaching and fun resources.
The database acts as a portable favorites/bookmarks – users can
access the same resource links from any computers with internet
access.
The site allows classroom teachers to find lesson plans, resources and
activities for classroom use.
Students and their parents can use the database to get help with
homework, to find practice information and playful learning activities.
Users can create pre-specified resource-link groups that can be
accessed later without searching for the entries - perfect for teachers
who want students to access the same web pages from several
computers.
Users can annotate these collections with their own text to make it
easier to remember their thoughts.
The link collections and comment text can be organized/placed together
in any order it is practical for the user.
Users can contribute to the resource database
They can maintain their own set of resources or they
can share them other users (everybody)
