 interesting links

             This page is a work in progress. Check back often to see new links.

The web is an amazing tool for research and learning. However, there are many websites that are of questionable quality when it comes to research for reports and projects. To avoid questionable information, I often look for .edu, .gov or .org at the end of the URL. This means that the website has been created by a university or a local, state or the federal government. While this isn't a foolproof method, you'll stand a much better chance of finding quality information.

Below are many sites that I have used in the past, both for school projects and my own research. Feel free to take a look as you may be amazed by what's out there.
