Summer Special Series: Hosting – Sqooltools

Part three of our Special Summer Series on free hosting services.

Next up, a k-12 exclusive hosting service, SqoolTools.  According to the site, “Sqool” is actually an acronym (not just a homophone) for “Supporting Quality Online Opportunities for Learning”.

The business offers additional edtech consulting services [http://sqooltechs.com/] and sites and several tiers of paid Moodle hosting above their free, basic plan.  Check out their Youtube channel [http://www.youtube.com/user/sqooltechs] or even their hosted video site, http://sqooltube.com/.  All in all they’ve created a resource-rich collection of educational tools and resources.

More information is available at http://www.sqooltools.com/
