Every January, Homeschool.com asks
our Product Testers (we have over 9,000 Product Testers as of
2011) to send us a list of their favorite educational websites.
We then compile the results into the Top 100 Educational
Websites for the year--and yes, we counted, there are 100!
You might
recognize sites that have been listed before, but there are
quite a few new web addresses as well. Most sites are free, but
there are a few commercial sites spattered in--we considered
these just too good to omit.
We sure hope
you enjoy the list--and if we missed one of your favorites,
please let us know.
