Science on the Simpsons

Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo for sharing this site. Videos from the Simpsons TV show help students learn science concepts. The videos cannot be streamed, they must be downloaded. These are funny and educational, who would have thought you could learn science from the Simpsons!!!

p2pu | Learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything

Wow, lots of free courses for programming in a variety of languages!!! If you are curious, feel you would benefit from more programming knowledge then these sites could help you get started. These are not the only sites but they are really good so do take a look.





I can't believe all the free resources, no there will be no face to face instructor to help you but there are so many people on the web to help you solve the problems you come up against, just do a google search and you will certainly find an answer to your problem.


Online Reading Tests | Reading Worksheets

I found this reading resource from Edugalaxy - a really good educators blog. You can have your students take online quizzes for reading and then they can print out their results, or not if you are trying to save a tree or two. The quizzes are graded automatically which is great for you. This resource is completely free! Take a look and give it a try!

The Financial Literacy Toolkit

This blog is a really great financial blog and this particular entry would be a really good one to share with high school students who are beginning to learn about money. Not all of the items here will be useful but many of them are!
