Useful Websites

TED Blog has updated their list of "100 Websites You Should Know and Use."  They originally made a list in 2007, but decided it was time to update the list six years later.  Though many of the websites from the first  list are still used.  There are 100 websites and it is a little overwhelming.  But they have the websites listed by category:

• Business & E-commerce
• Audio & Visual
• Literature, Media, & Culture
• Politics, News & Global Issues
• Education
• Science & Technology

I have browsed a few of the websites and I have found two that were very interesting to me.

1. The Billfold- This is a blog about different money topics.  I thought these blogs were well written and relevant to a variety of people.  You can easily browse what blog you want to read and they have subtitles by category to easily look at one specific topic.  I do not really enjoy business things, I have a friend that enjoys it, so I hear about it a lot, but I have never had an interest.  Though, I thought this blog was still interesting, and I think everyone will be able to find something interesting to them.  
2. Khan Academy- This is a helpful website that has videos and animations about math, science and economics, computer science, humanities and test prep.  They have a wide range of subjects under each category and are geared toward high school and first year college students.  I have looked at some of these animations and they would be very helpful for the classes I am taking now and for some of the classes I know I'll need to take next year.  This also provides SAT math help.  This is very useful to have another resource to reference if a student does not understand a concept or wants more help with something.
