Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” Throughout our lives we are both teachers and learners. This list of Quick Top Picks is full of ideas and resources for pushing our own learning as well as that of students.
- Study Guides & Strategies (http://www.studygs.net) 267 student guides and strategies with over 100 Adobe Flash exercises and games: topics include learning to learn to test taking; time, project and stress management; reading, writing and problem solving processes.
- Wikibooks (http://en.wikibooks.org) is a Wikimedia community for creating a free library of educational textbooks that anyone can edit.
- HowToons (http://howtoons.com) uses everyday objects to invent toys that can be built. Got a soda bottle? Build a sub for the tub.
- WikiHow (http://wikihow.com) is a How-to Manual that anyone can edit. I hope you enjoy these learning resources.
If you’ve got others, please let us know. In the meantime, I’m off to watch that “How to Fold Hospital Corners” video again.
Wow! What a great list of resources! Thanks so much for sharing! I’m off to make my submarine :).
Wow, I am SO excited to check out the HowToons site. I am always on the hunt for good ideas for my 5 and 3 year old boys. Plus, I am starting school myself again (at the age of 40) so I am going to check out the StudyGuides site too. It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve seriously had to study so I know I need some tips. Thank you!
And I’m SO glad that you found it useful. I also know that you’ll do fine! When I consider myself as a student years ago — I’m so much more diligent now. Keep us posted on how those studies come along.
Thank you for such a great list of resources! One of my daughters is having difficulty in school and I’ve been stumped to find a good resource list of materials to help her at home. Thank you!!!!!
You’re welcome. You didn’t mention in what particular areas your daughter is struggling…if you need a great math resource check out http://khanacademy.org/ too.
This is a great list of resources. Thanks for putting it together.
You’re welcome. So glad you liked it!
