ActivityVine.com is the social collaboration site for everyone involved in extracurricular school activities!

Students, connect with other students. Advisers and coaches, network with other advisers and coaches. Professionals, offer your expertise and stay connected with those learning and growing in your industry.

ActivityVine is the brainchild of Melinda Drellack and Jason Weekley, both former educators. Melinda and Jason saw the need to develop a website to connect individuals involved with school activities to improve education by meeting the changing needs of students.

“ActivityVine.com is a completely free social collaboration website for everyone involved in school activities,” says Drellack. Social collaborating involves a community of people centered on a particular focus area. With ActivityVine, people including students, teachers, advisers, coaches, parents and professionals connect, share, collaborate, and stay informed with others involved in school activities.

There are 58 academic and athletic activities that people can join, which range from Book Club, Journalism, and Speech to Volleyball, Basketball and Baseball. Jason says “once people join the activities that interest them, they can ask a question, answer one, or share an experience, all while meeting others that have the same passions.”

Students can connect with other students, advisers, coaches, or teachers. “If a student is from a smaller school or program, they can feel connected with others in their activity using ActivityVine,” says Drellack. “This can keep kids from quitting because they feel alone.”

You can also create activities specific to your school, such as a book club, chess club, or a summer reading club that will only be visible to the members you invite. Library Media Specialists are using this technology to create custom book clubs for their schools.
