That’s a crucial message to pass on to children, and it’s //not // just empty words of encouragement—it’s supported by cutting-edge research on neuroplasticity, which shows that the brain changes and grows when we learn new things. You and your student, can //learn // to be smarter. (Mindshift 2/3/12)

 * __ Gooru __** is a free platform for students and teachers to access //standards-based// online resources in organized “playlists” for learning. The website’s tagline is “learning is social.”


 * Students ** can access “ClassBooks”—collections of textbooks, videos, and assessments—on any topic, and they can interact with their peers and teachers while studying.


 * Teachers ** can search for standards-aligned web resources organized into “ClassPlans,” which they can customize and share with the larger community.
