The Top 100 Educational Websites of 2009

They have selected the Top 100 Educational Websites of 2009. We asked our 7,000 Product Testers to send us a list of the educational sites that they like the best and use the most often. The three sites mentioned most often were:

The Top Sites for 2009
1)www.starfall.com
2)www.edhelper.com
3) www.time4learning.com

Note: Normally we would not include a commercial site on this list. However, so many people nominated Time4Learning, it seemed unfair to leave them off the list.

Click on a site name
Explore their site for awhile
If you love it, add it to your bookmarks
Then use the back button to come back to the main Top 100 list

All of these sites are safe, proven and used by thousands of parents just like you. So grab a cup of coffee, put your kids on your lap, and have fun exploring these wonderful sites.
