Create an online database of education resources including books, websites (like PBS, BBC, etc) that parents may find helpful. There has to be some sort of social networking/rating feature of this so that it's not stale. And it needs to be organized by interest. Otherwise it'd just be a duplication of Hoagies site.

Love a resource with info on gifted playgroups. It's hard to know how to get my 5-year old with other like-minded kids.

Every child in america should have the option of opting out of their local school, and using a free, accredited online substitute. The software should be intelligent enough to vary it's speed to match the pace of the learners. Any child who gets credit for '3rd grade Math' for example, would have the right to attend '4th grade Math' at their local school.

Case law and legislation pertaining to gifted education.

I'm feeling like I could stand to take another parenting class (or two). One that specifically addresses gifted children, or an aspect of raising gifted children, might be good. I like the idea of SENG's webinars and plan to take advantage of those, but what about a webex (or other type) that is more like a class?

I would love to see some kind of website that can provide the gifted children with career counseling. It can be a questionairre with multiple choices or a straight Q & A format. Ideally, it would also suggest colleges that match the child's profile and interests.

A powerpoint or outline of steps they can follow; requesting their school test the child, seeking local organizations that provide enrichment opportunities, joining PAGE, seeking a local PAGE group, and links to other resources.

I've looked for blogs in which people describe their (anonymised!) gifted children's learning, what they're doing, what resources are useful, what challenges they are facing at home or at school. There must be some, but they are not easy to find: e.g., people using blogspot don't put "gifted" in their titles! How about an "overlay community" or index, here? Wouldn't need actually to host the blogs (although it could). Maybe a wiki, with a page where people could add links to their blogs, and other pages about resources?

monthly e-newsletter with brief suggestions for parents and kids

Certain summer programs require science prerequisites that are hard to achieve while in middle school. An example is high school biology since that labs are not available even if the course material could be addressed. Would love a Pittsburgh location during the summer to take a class that wasn't for people who failed the course in High School

We need to demand that schools that recieve government money to train teachers have extensive classes on the alternative develoment of gifted learners, and how to create supportive classrooms.

One idea that I am considering is creating a new non-profit organization. The initial premise would be to get donated laptops. Then, we'd lend out these laptops to educational programs that may need them. For example, C-MITES fall/summer workshops and summer camps. We could then look at extending that to be other assests (microscopes, etc.).

It would satisfy the curiosity of all gifted children if they had access to workplaces or organizations where they could watch products being assembled or manufactured. Not only could this guide career choices and interests, but it would spark creativity and make the link between creativity and practical application.
