Introducing: The Gooru Corner

Submitted by Tommy Cornelis on August 28, 2012

Just in time for the back-to-school season, we're excited to introduce a brand new feature to STEMdaily™ and to the blog: The Gooru Corner!

Gooru is a free search engine for learning, and we are collaborating with them to provide STEMdaily™ readers with a featured resource (Monday), collection (Wednesday) and quiz (Friday) every week. Features will cover 5th-12th grade math and science topics, all of which are hand-picked by teachers and aligned to standards. Resources are interactive and span 8 different multimedia forms, such as digital textbooks, videos and games, to maximize student engagement. Collections are playlists of resources that provide a complete study experience, and quizzes are enriched with hints and explanations to ensure student comprehension.

Keep your eye out for The Gooru Corner on the blog starting on Monday, September 3rd! Since Monday is Labor Day, there will not be a STEMdaily going out. However, Monday's Gooru resource will be included on Tuesday's STEMdaily and can be found in the right column under "STEMconnector"! To learn more about Gooru, visit their profile in the STEMconnector Directory today and follow them on Twitter @Gooru!

Below is a great video giving you a little tour on what Gooru is all about. Check it out!
