Lizzie’s List of Fabulous Websites for all Ages and Stages updated 2/2010

Presented at long last and for your convenience in a categorized, described as well as
alphabetized version. These are the best of what I have squirreled away and are all
family friendly and kid safe sites to the best of my knowledge. As of February 2010,
these are all working sites.

Technical note:
If you reach a page that looks a bit like this…
http://www.historyforkids.org/FirefoxHTML%5CShell%5COpen%5CCommand that
says they couldn’t find the page, just cut off the part that begins with Firefox in your
address bar and hit enter, so now you have this: http://www.historyforkids.org/ it should
work right after that

all subjects: study notes

This page contains links to sites that provide free, online video lectures for academic
courses and other Open CourseWare materials. I have individual links to individual
courses or programs of courses in my other web pages but this page is for keeping track
of sites with courses. OpenCourseWare sites typically provide a syllabus, description of
the course, problem sets, exams and a schedule. Some sites also provide audio or video
lectures, solutions to problem sets and exams, online textbooks, lecture notes, and links to
supplementary materials. Many OCW courses require textbooks, specialized commercial
software such as Mathematica and software that can be downloaded for free. There are a
lot of areas that are not well-covered and some areas that have a lot of coverage.

my very favorite resource and a delightful family owned business

DON’T FORGET, my most heavily used resource www.amazon.com

the used stuff is generally a really good deal, just make sure the seller is rated 4 or 5 stars,
so there are no issues. Not to mention the reviews are one of my best tools I know of for
books, movies, you name it.
