A Great Resource for Parents, Educators and Entrepreneurs

As a parent, educator and person trying to build a business from home, I’m always on the lookout for great resources. That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered I made an OOPS. Or should I say, found an OOPS. In this case OOPS is a good thing because it stands for Our Overnight Planning System for Education and Business. The mission of OOPS is to “provide ‘Just in Time’ technology, business and productivity strategies for the unpredictable challenges or ‘OOPS’ moments in the classroom and boardroom.”

There are so many things I like about OOPS, but here are a few of my favorites:

Summer: School on the Net

This page not only provides dozens of resource sites, broken down by age group, of what to do with your children over the summer, but includes a handy acronym to help you remember how to enjoy your “web vacation” . . . P.A.C.K. Play, Adventure, Create, Knowledge.

Best of the Web: Sites for Online Searching

While I know about the major search engines, I had no idea that there were so many other available tools to help with online research! On this resource page, these search sites are broken down by categories including: best multimedia sites, specialty search engines and best fun tools sites.

4OOPS Tech Tricks Blog

This blog is written by Helen Teague, M.Ed., who does educational and small business consulting, in addition to managing the OOPS site. She shares strategies on how to use technology to maximize your effectiveness in education and in business.

So I highly recommend you check out this valuable resource. It’s one OOPS you can afford to make!
