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 MegabytesIf 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,
