Educational Web Sites to post on del.icio.us

Hello QSI Students!

Your task today is to find an interesting and useful EDUCATIONAL web site. Please! no game or non educational sites allowed. There are a variety of sites for you to explore listed below.

Before you begin, open a new Notepad document and save it to your folder as "Web Sites". When you come across web pages that interest you, copy the URL (Ctrl + c) and then paste it into your web site document. You can save as many educational web sites as you like, but I'd like you to find at least 3 sites of interest.

For each web site, please include the following information:

1) The URL (the exact web site address of the web page that you selected)

2) A brief description of what you can learn from the web page

3) A longer description that explains why you like the web site

You can type all this information in your Notepad document so that you just need to copy and paste it when you post the URLs to www.del.icio.us

Happy exploration!

Educational Web Sites

(Note: About.com and Wikipedia.com are web sites that contain a great deal of information about many different subjects. You will need to explore until these sites until you find a particular page that interests you. The other web sites are web portals, basically lists of other web sites.)
