Continuation of the Family Circle article of Oct 17, 2009:
MyCollegeCalendar.org: Teens can start in their freshman year of high school learning what they need to do, when and how, in order to go about applying for the college of their choice. When and how to file applications, how to write the accompanying essay, where to get financial aid and scholarships. The "wizard" will set up a calendar for the student to follow! Wow- everything is "interactive" these days.
Scholar.google.com: Supposed to skip all those unreliable sources brought up by plain ole Google. The search engine only searches scholarly works: papers, books and articles from academic publishers, universities and other similar organizations. Says it's still in Beta form. Give you the option to search articles OR legal opinions and journals.
TheFreeDictionary.com: Not only does this site give you the definition and the pronunciation, you can have the word translated into dozens of languages and play hangman to boot. Information plus entertainment. Again, the way students learn today. There really is a lot available on this site: Legal dictionary, medical dictionary, weather forcast, quote of the day, article of the day, this day in history, etc etc. You could spend a lot of time here.
WolframAlpha.com: like having your own private know-it-all computer! Self-described as having a "long term goal of making all systemic knowledge immediately computable and assessible to everyone."
