SchoolRooms™
 SchoolRooms
has thousands of K-12 Web sites to explore, along with activities,
interesting and fun information, and lots more. Use SchoolRooms to
link to magazine and newspaper articles, encyclopedia articles and more from
INFOhio's Core Collection of Electronic Resources. Soon, INFOhio
automated schools can search their catalogs through SchoolRooms.
Following a free, two-year evaluation period,
SchoolRooms became an optional product for purchase by Ohio
school districts. INFOhio has attempted to gather helpful resources related
to SchoolRooms of which we are aware.
