The Sumter County Public Library is one of the pilot sites working with the South Carolina State Library to launch SchoolRooms - a multimedia online learning portal for the K-12 community designed to improve learning in South Carolina . The State Library hopes to have SchoolRooms available to all South Carolina citizens by this fall in time for a new school year.

What is SchoolRooms?

A new kind of learning environment, SchoolRooms offers unique benefits to students, parents, and educators.

SchoolRooms™ stands apart from other K-12 portals by starting with the curriculum itself and then searching for the best content to support and reflect state and national standards. This makes all the difference.

Because it's curriculum-based, SchoolRooms fits perfectly into students' overall learning process. SchoolRooms organizes topics the same way students come across them in their school work and it's all aligned with national and state guidelines.

An unparalleled K-12 learning environment

·               SchoolRooms is a state-of-the-art Web site designed to help students explore, discover, and learn.

·               SchoolRooms integrates thousands of pages of multimedia content, Web links, and powerful search capabilities - all within the context of K-12 curriculum.

·               SchoolRooms uses subject-oriented 'virtual rooms' where visitors find the relevant resources and information that meet their needs.

All the pages in SchoolRooms were built by teachers and librarians - the people who know exactly what topics have to be covered and where to find the best information.
