I'm feeling a little out of the loop that I hadn't heard of Shmoop! And I'm not going to claim to be an expert on it here, rather point you in the direction to learn more, and encourage anyone who has had experience with it to comment.
I enjoyed reading about it on CNET and on the Shmoop site, which includes a video explanation of Shmoop and testimonials from users.
Shmoop’s mission is to make learning and writing fun and relevant for students in the digital age. Shmoop subjects span from middle school to college levels, with an emphasis on high school curriculum with free student Learning Guides in literature, poetry, bestsellers, history, civics, biography, and music.
There are also Teacher's Guides with free access to standards-based activities and related interdisciplinary readings and fee access to discussion and essay questions, quizzes, and activities for relating the topic to current events and pop culture.
Shmoop content is written by master teachers and Ph.D. students from Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and other top universities.
There are Firefox Add-ons for Shmoop and Shmoop online books for your eReader. Follow Shmoop on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or their own blog and learn more!
In this age where Pennsylvania libraries and schools are losing so many resources, I'm curious if this will fill in some of the gaps?
