I signed up to write storyboards for web-based math courses for the non-profit organization e-Learning for Kids. I'm excited to do it - I'm in the early stages (just got my assignments) and will let you know where it goes from here...If you are interested in helping them out, visit their Get Involved! page and fill out a volunteer application form.
Also, they are funded through direct donations, grants and royalties. You can make donations by credit card on their site or contact them for more information.
Or, if you just want to visit to see if your kids would benefit from any of their free online courses, peruse to your heart's content! :o)
About e-Learning for Kids
In today’s complex world, children’s futures are determined by their ability to master the basics of reading, science, math and computers. Yet costs, class sizes and other issues often prevent children access to quality online learning that can support and reinforce these essential skills.
Our vision is to be the source for childhood learning on the Internet – available from anywhere and without charge. Established in late 2004, e-Learning for Kids is a global, nonprofit foundation dedicated to fun and free learning on the Internet for children ages 5 - 12. We offer free, best-in-class courseware in math, science, reading and keyboarding; and we’re building a community for parents and educators to share innovations and insights in childhood education.
| E-learning for Kids isn’t only for kids, though; it’s also a site where: | ||
| * | Parents get more engaged in their kids’ education | |
| * | Educators and experts champion e-learning and contribute their knowledge on how kids can learn better. | |
| * | Commercial education and game developers contribute to the next generation. | |
| * | Corporations and associations channel their social responsibility efforts. | |
| * | People with a passion for childhood education make a difference. | |
Our all-volunteer staff consists of committed education and e-learning experts and business professionals from around the world. Team members develop and source e-learning courseware, marshal resources for educational content, collaborate with other educational foundations, reach out to corporations and associations for funding and sponsorships, and build awareness among schools and the media.
