SOSClassroom.org to the Summer School Rescue

I'll admit, I'm old-fashioned.  I don't own a cell phone and only reluctantly got a Facebook account this month.  However, a group of students at USC is pitching in to help parents deal with the cancellation of summer school and making me feel even older at the same time.  With buzz words like crowdsourcing and online aggregation, they've put together a list of resources for K-8 students who might have been in an LAUSD classroom this summer for four weeks if it weren't for budget cuts.

But this isn't a passive resource.  The only way it works is to help them by sending them any website resources you have as well.  So whether you're comfortable emailing them the links, or you can "Digg" or "Twitter" them the goods, head over to SOSClassroom.org and see what they have available.  It sure beats a summer full of "Suite Life" and "i-Carly" reruns.

So far, my daughter's favorites are the videos of all the old SchoolHouse Rock skits.  She has my DVDs and CDs, but there's something about watching them on the computer that has her fascinated.
