From a Family Circle article in the Oct 17, 2009 issue (don't have title or author of article). Several great websites to aid in all sorts of school assignments.
BibMe.com Bibliography maker. Free. Recommended for All Ages.
Bing.com a new search engine designed with kids in mind. You can set it as your homepage and be treated with a "Picture of the Day" along with interesting info about the image. Describes itself as "a search engine that can find and organize the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions." Has all the cool stuff teens are interested in. Free. Recommended for All Ages.
My note: It is set up very similar to Infotopia.com, another great search engine, but one with research in mind.
Cramster.com allows high school and college students to study together in this social network built around learning subjects such as math, calculus, chemistry, and engineering. Kids can connect with peers from their class or around the world. They can also post questions and access study guides. Recommended for Teens.
Evernote.com. The website describes itself as a place to "save your ideas, things you see, and things you like." Accessible from any computer or device you use. The Family Circle article goes on to say that you can scan, photograph or cut and paste everything you need to remember, then store it on this site. To then find a document you have saved, just search for any word contained in the document. Recommended for All Ages.
Livemocha.com is a great way to learn another language. 26 foreign tongues offered. A series of visual, fun, multimedia classes. Wow- this really is the way our kids learn today. Free to join.
