Earlier this year, as I was listening to a presentation by an eleven-year-old community volunteer and blogger named Laura Stockman about the service projects she carries out in her hometown outside Buffalo, New York, an audience member asked where she got her ideas for her good work.

Social network sites, online games, video-sharing sites, and gadgets such as iPods and mobile phones are now fixtures of youth culture. They have so permeated young lives that it is hard to believe that less than a decade ago these technologies barely existed.

This site, funded in part by the Gates Foundation, is a remarkable compendium of resources for the small schools movement. If anything, there is too much information so the curriculum resources (as it relates to PBL) are buried about five links down. However, anyone interested in starting a small school or converting a large school into house or academies can find rich resources on scheduling, facilities, curriculum, advisory, staffing, administration, etc. This group also produces videos that highlight particular areas of development for small schools.
