For Family History Research
Here’s a great site I found for family researchers (like me). It’s the World Names Profiler. The Internet has really done wonders for my own genealogy research. Come to think of it, I don’t have a post about all the genealogy resources that I have found helpful. I’ll have to collect everything and do that! [...]
Educational Flashcards for Promoting Reading
I’ve got another educational website for you, at BrillKids.com. It’s a downloadable early learning software that teaches reading to very young children. I believe children as young as two and three can be taught to read (I was a very early reader). The site has a tutorial video and offers a free trial.
Here’s a press [...]
Livestation TV on Your Computer
WOW. WOW! That’s all I can say! I checked out Livestation, a free software download that enables you to watch TV stations from all around the world. I am impressed!
There are about… 50? different channels or so, right now. But they include CNN, NASA TV, Fox, Warner Bros. Cartoon network, the Discovery Channel, and [...]
Relativity For the Average Person
The kids will soon be starting their lessons again, and we are gearing up for another year of the three R’s. Well– the three R’s plus “S” for “Science.” I am always scouting around for some good online helps and tutorials. Here’s a great one I found that helps to explain Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. [...]
Great Educational Freeware
It’s back to school time! Software has made incredible leaps and bounds since my daughter began her elementary classes with Windows 3.1 and DOS. Wow, that seems like eons ago! Here are some good free software I’ve compiled for your scholars of all ages. Be aware that I have not tried all these programs, but [...]
Hulu For Internet TV
I’m very impressed! After hearing about Hulu for several weeks, I decided to give it a try. It/s a website that offers free streaming television programs. It actually worked! I have “medium speed” broadband, and the show worked pretty well. i didn’t browse around a great deal, bui their selection looks quite large.
The shows are [...]
History Videos From NBC
Love history? Love media clips? You might love to take a look at iCue. I found it recently while looking for educational videos. My kids love to watch videos, but I won’t allow them to browse YouTube. There is so much junk, so much perversity flowing through YouTube, YUK! iCue looks better. It’s run by [...]
Tux Paint for Kids
I discovered another free program for kids. It’s a paint program called Tux Paint. It’s adorable. My 11-year old is probably too old for it now; I’d say kids ages 3 to 8 would really like it. It’s bright and it’s got big buttons. Very easy to use. And, it’s free! It’s a great way [...]
Free Flashcards Site
I found a great website offering free flash cards. The website is http://www.flashcardfriends.com. It is free to join!
It’s a “safe for kids” website, but there’s much more to the website than your typical ABC flashcards. Want to learn Arabic, Chinese, German, or brush up on your political science or neurology skills? Wow, everything is here. [...]
Educational Programs
I’ve been getting a lot of hits on my post I wrote about some great educational software programs. We use them all the time here at home. Maybe other folks are going on a geography blitz or something, lol. Well, I wanted to bump up the information to the top, to give others the chance [...]
Free Educational Software for Children
Outstanding. Incredible. Spectacular!
I’m talking about the lists of free educational software to be found at Owl & Mouse. We have downloaded all their programs and my kids have benefitted from it in innumerable ways.
We really enjoy their geography programs. I have the children go over them from time to time, even when we are not [...]
