Today I’m going to begin going through my homeschooling links.
These ones are not homeschooling specific… rather they’re sites I discovered that I thought could be useful in a few areas – including schooling (assuming they are still functioning when we get to the point of wanting to use them).
The first two are quote collections, Quote Cache and Brainy Quote. I’m a sucker for a good quote and it’s nice to be able to search for them on topic. I know I have books of them, but because these are on the computer I don’t have to get up to go looking.
Amanda’s Mnemonics site is perhaps not as large as I’d remembered, but it is cool to have a collection of them in one place.
The Internet Book List is the beginnings of a searchable catalogue of books. Still early days yet and less interesting than I remembered, but basically I’m including all links in my Education/Homeschooling bookmark folder.
I left the best for last. I love the NOVA documentaries that I’ve seen (the only one I’ve seen all the way through is the Roman Bath one… go to history, then Secrets of Lost Empires, Roman Bath). Some have been on SBS (I think), although I usually only realise by accident. This is their website. They have all sorts of info about the actual documentaries as well as activities and articles related to it. Very cool indeed:-)
That’s enough for now.
Later I’ll focus more specifically on homeschooling, although, I lack a lot of links I thought I had. I suspect I did the searching so long ago that they are bookmarked in another piece of software on another machine. I may have to re-investigate in fact. But perhaps it’s ok to start in the middle and work back:-)
