About Lovemygroups.com Toolbox

The Lovemygroups Toolbox is a set of software tools designed to help Homeschool groups, school groups, tutorials, teachers, and individual homeschool families create online "Sites" for collaboration, learning management, organization, and classroom management. Using a web browser, users choose from a set of feature tools to create a site that meets their needs.

Here are some common uses of the Toolbox:

• A School group can create a site for collaboration on a project, for a club, or for a sports team.
• A Tutorial group can provide tutors the opportunity to create class sites online, record grades, make assignments available online, and administer tests online, and have the grades recorded automatically. Administrators can monitor activity and progress for the tutorial classes
• A teacher can create a site that serves as an online discussion board for students to collaborate on an assignment.
• A homeschool parent can create a site to organize lesson plans, school schedules, and record grades

The Lovemygroups.com Toolbox is a hosting service for Educational Purposes using Sakai, which is a part of the Apereo Foundation (www.apereo.org).
