Thinkfinity

Thinkfinity boasts free top-line educational resources to strengthen problem-solving, creativity and critical thinking skills for the 21st century. The site offers lesson plans, educational games, activities and more. The gateway page asks if you are a parent, educator or student and the resources are wonderful. Being that its summer, the Afterschool Resources section caught our eye and it is full of of great activities--the selected resources and activities are a must see.

Thinkfinity is a big, bold site. Don't go play if you have an old, slow computer. But if you have the technology, this a site you don't want to miss.

YouthPlay.org

YouthPlay.org is a wonderful collection of annotated resources for young people and adults who are involved in the development of youth of all ages. YouthPlay links to hundreds of Internet resources (almost all free) targeting the development of young people. These resources include: math, science, reading, writing, language arts and social studies; skill development; homework assistance; career exploration; training and education; college resources; financial aid; learning exercises; good, safe, fun stuff; free email; guidance for adults; and more. The authors have done an excellent job of providing the target grade levels for many of the websites. Just a great all-around resource for everyone involved in the educational process.
