LinkEd is the education sector's one-stop, online community uniting people across the country in the fight to close the achievement gap. Through our website, LinkEd connects individuals, organizations, and resources to implement programs promoting high academic achievement for all students. With the latest collaborative and social networking technologies, we can multiply our impact and truly build a national movement to overcome educational inequity. www.linkeducation.org

The Striking Viking Story Pirates are New York's fastest growing absurdist sketch comedy show for kids and adults. Often described as "Schoolhouse Rock meets Monty Python," they are an ensemble of professional actors who take hilarious stories written by kids all over the world and faithfully adapt them into sketches and songs. Adults are treated to a riotous view inside the heads of their children, and kids end up feeling like celebrities because their own stories are the star of the show. www.storypirates.com

DonorsChoose is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit website, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund. A DonorsChoose gift certificate enables you to fund project(s) of your choice and to receive the classroom acknowledgement. www.donorschoose.org
