Schoonoodle is a new website for K-12 teachers that is part lesson plan depot and part social bookmarking service. The intent of Schoonoodle is to be a place where teachers can find lesson plans and other resources that align to state standards. To build this collection of standards-aligned resources whenever teachers submit a new website they can fill in a form explaining which standards that resource aligns to.

The concept is a good one, but unfortunately I did not see any bookmarklet or browser add-on to make it easy to submit a site to Schoonoodle. Instead you have to manually enter the website’s url into the Schoonoodle form.

Applications for Education
Schoonoodle could become a good place for teachers to find and share lesson plans and web-based resources. The idea of aligning each submission to state standards is a good one as it could make searching for lesson plans more efficient than just a topic-based search.
