I figure since I've now gone off with the "I love the internet" tangent, I might as well SHARE some of the favorite sites I've found. Since we run our own private school, we use LOADS of online resources to help plan our activities. Here are just a handful:

For typing skills for the VERY young, there's nothing better online (perhaps even offline) than BBC - Schools - Dance Mat Typing - Home

VERY small children:

What would I do without the internet?

I love the internet. How did I get along without it? Oh yeah...I drove, or rode my bike, or took the bus, or walked to a library, wandered through the card catalog, searched the stacks and, if I got lucky, found just what I was looking for. More often than not, what I needed wasn't at my branch.

But now?

Yesterday I needed to fix a pace clock for my swim team, but I know NOTHING about clocks. Search terms: "pace clock", adjust, hands, clock brand. INSTRUCTIONS right there.


My daughter's studying ancient history. I found some FANTASTIC resources including this page from Washington State University's World Cultures program: http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/MESO/MESO.HTM

Need to find out about a wart, a weed, which colleges provide which majors, a recipe, a friend, a photo, a map? Name it, and if you learn the keys to searching it's ALL out there for us to find!

WOW...

I've been online since the early 90s. Still, I'm impressed.
