 SchoolRooms™
Project Update: December 4, 2006

INFOhio is pleased to announce the Phase One Deployment of SchoolRooms. Developed by SirsiDynix in collaboration with INFOhio, SchoolRooms is a new online portal for K-12 students, educators, and parents.

SchoolRooms encompasses the entire K-12 curriculum, covering 75 major topic areas. Virtual rooms include Children and Young Adult Literature, College & Careers, Fine Arts, Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Study & Research, Technology and audience guides for Educators, Librarians and Parents.

SchoolRooms is a new kind of learning environment that brings together the best content from the following sources into a single portal, using federated search capability:

School library catalogs

Public library catalogs

Standards-driven taxonomy with over 22,000 educator-selected Web sites

INFOhio’s Core Collection of Electronic Resources

Interactive and integrated multimedia content from well-known publishers such as Dorling Kindersley and Helicon

Internet search results from Google

SchoolRooms was built by teams of teachers and librarians. More than 140 contributors (teachers, librarians, educational consultants and usability experts) were brought together by SirsiDynix, INFOhio and Kent State University School of Library and Information Science during a week-long workshop the summer of 2006, where they participated in sessions and drew from their educational expertise to create what is now SchoolRooms.

Two school districts, Kalida Local School District and Shaker Heights City School District, have been selected as part of Phase One Deployment by INFOhio to test and use SchoolRooms for the 2006-2007 school year as INFOhio works to deploy SchoolRooms for the 2007-2008 school year, first to those schools currently automated with INFOhio.
