I was just watching a commercial for something called cosmeo.com. It's a website for kids (that you have to pay for) that has videos, games, quizzes, and articles to help them learn and do their homework. Sounds great, right

Your anger towards cosmeo

[anonymous]

Hi, I'm someone who knows a bit about the cosmeo thing. Your anger toward it is mostly a marketing plot. School based standard learning is a nice feature that lets school districts, state educational agencies basically give cosmeo a stamp of approval for kids. Nobody (or very very few) actually learn/navigate the site by searching for state curriculum standards, and in all actuality content is not aggregated specifically to fit certain educational standards. After acquiring content it placed to match these standards in order for the marketing feature line to at least hold some truth.

More likely than not, when you graduate your school will have access to unitedstreaming (more than 70,000 schools do). Here you will be able to download much of the same content (a teacher based product from the same company) and integrate into your curriculum how you see fit.
