schoolr.com - Portal to Information for School

Posted by: Jeff VanDrimmelen In: Student Tools| Teacher Tools

Welcome to Edutechie.com! If you're new here, be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Imagine a website customized for all the different sites you use to research school related information.  Welcome to schoolr.com. (The ‘r’ stands for research.) 

Granted this site is probably not what teachers want you to use to research, but let’s be honest, this is what everyone is using.  Schoolr includes the following searches right now:

  • Google
  • Wikipedia
  • Dictionary
  • Thesaurus
  • Acronym
  • Ubran Dictionary
  • Encyclopedia
  • Citation Builder
  • Book Summary Search
  • Text Translator
  • Unit Converter

On a side note, the slogan is a randomly regenerated loop of pretty funny things regarding education today.  “We might not be as cool as Facebook, but we’ll boost your GPA.”  “Met Bob. Bob had an exam on Friday.  Bob slept in.  Bob failed.  Don’t be Bob.”  “Who still knows how to handwrite?”  Funny stuff. :-)
