If you're like me, you come from a bygone era. The age of walking to a library and using encyclopedias, dictionaries, index cards and microfiche, yes microfiche to complete your homework. I explained to my seven-year-old that I used to use a typewriter when I was his age to write short stories. "You've seen one?" He asked completely bewildered. I might as well have just confessed to being the victim of an alien abduction. Well thankfully we have advanced into the information age. Here are some websites you and your children can both embrace since they are fun, educational, and most importantly FREE!
