Finds of the Week

Finds of the week is a variety of web sites that I've stumbled over recently that are fun, interesting, or useful.

Bits, Bytes, and Megabytes
If you've ever wondered about the difference between them this article has a short and easy to read definition.

31 Useful Google Blogs
Keep up to date with these blogs from Google - they cover a large part of the services Google offers. A few have changed addresses: the Official Google Checkout Blog is now the Google Commerce blog, the Google Social Web blog has moved to the Google Plus Platform Blog , and The Google Sites blog has moved to Google Apps. Some blogs aren't active anymore, those are Google Groups, Google Notebook, and Google Talk.

A to Z Teacher Stuff
The site describes best:"...A to Z Teacher Stuff is a teacher-created site designed to help teachers find online resources more quickly and easily. Find lesson plans, thematic units, teacher tips, discussion forums for teachers, downloadable teaching materials & eBooks, printable worksheets and blacklines, emergent reader books, themes, and more." There are a lot of resources here.

Wired.com
Wired.com and Wired Magazine aren't the same thing, though they both belong to the same corporation (Condé Nast). Wired.com is a daily technology news site - if you want to keep up with the latest tech news all in one place this is a good place to do it.
Wired.com has a lot of sections. I mean a lot. The Sections area contains 18 different topics. There are 17 blogs under the Blogs section, 15 categories in the Reviews section and sections on Video and How-To. There are a ton of RSS feeds within these sections. My favorite sections are the How-To's and the Science section, but the front page is a great place to get news without overload. =) 

10 Websites With Fun Art Games For Kids
This is a terrific collection of fun sites - the article says the sites are for kids, but people of all ages will enjoy them as well. I'm rather fond of Picassohead, having been a regular visitor over the years. You'll need a Flash enabled browser for most of these sites.

Have fun,
Rhiannon
