A New Resource for Educators: SITE

The Stockyard Institute is in the works to launch a new online resource, SITE, for those involved in education and is scheduled to launch its full range of features in January 2012.

According to their website,

"SITE is an experiment in democratic open-source education. It is meant for public use. Our objective is to build a vast, co-produced network of students and educators worldwide. SITE hopes to cultivate, collect, and distribute thoughtful lesson plans, free resources, and powerful dialogue for its users. We view SITE as a social service for educators by educators."
