Education.com is another useful website for both parents and teachers.  The site is privately funded and backed by leading venture capital firms: TeleSoft Partners, Azure Capital Partners, and California Technology Ventures.  It offers thousands of fun and educational activities, printables, and workbooks.  Users of this site can also access tens of thousands of current, creditable and easy to read articles ranging from kindergarten readiness to college prep.  The site contains fun and insightful video content offering parent advice to step by step activity instructions.  What I found unique about education.com is that with the use of “school finder” users has access to qualitative and quantitative information such as district/school zones, drop-out rates, etc. on pre-school, K-12 schools, and higher learning institutions.

            I enjoyed browsing through the wonderful collection of activities that were geared for all grade levels.  The site also contains specific search categories to help filter the abundant resources offered so that users are able to find what they need more efficiently.  All activities include the materials and instructions so that teachers and parents can create each product in the home or classroom.  In addition, print and download options could be done easily. 

            Although not all resources provided on this site are free of charge, many of it is reasonably priced.  For immediate access to workbooks and other printables, users are given the option of purchasing a downloadable resource.  I especially love having this option because I can easily save resources onto a computer and refer to my electronic version any time in the future.  I recommend this site to all parents and educators and look forward to sharing it with my colleagues!
