SOME VERY INTERESTING SITES TO SHARE
I receive daily e-mail from Smart Computing Magazine as part of my Subscription and it is full of very useful information and sites so I wanted to pass along some of the sites I think you might enjoy going to.
Daily Fun Site:
National Parks Service
The
National Parks Service , which is part of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, is dedicated to the preservation of America's natural and historical
majesty. The National Parks Service's Web site features news related to the
parks, upcoming events, photos, and more. Use the Find A Park link to search for
a park in your area. The Discover History link lets you explore America's
cultural foundations and historical points of interest. There are even areas
dedicated to kids and teachers, so start exploring.

The Best Of History Web Sites
Whether you're looking to do some light reading this summer, keep your budding
students on their toes during vacation, or write a term paper on the Cold War
for a summer class, the Best Of History Web Sites (www.besthistorysites.net)
is the place to turn. Soon to celebrate its 11th anniversary, the portal touts
annotated links to more than 1,200 Web sites drenched in details of days gone.

Daily Fun Site:
Broken Secrets
Broken Secrets (brokensecrets.com)
is a source of interesting tidbits you likely don’t know. They're sometimes
useful, sometimes absurd, but almost always intriguing. You'll find a new
"secret" every weekday, so check this collection of little-known facts often.
Broken Secrets
I have checked them out and they are safe. You may enjoy sharing them with your Grandchildren or other family members.
