REFDESK – This is a great site. It’s the
first place I look for information. Where would you
go in ‘real’ time? A library. In a
library, if you don’t know where to look for a reference
book, you go to the Reference Librarian. On the Internet,
if you don’t know where to look for answers, you go
to Refdesk.com. At first glance, the sheer amount of useful
links on the Refdesk home page can be overwhelming. But it’s
really quite well organized and useful.

LIBRARY SPOT – This site has all the convenient links
to all the popular online Almanacs, Calculators, Dictionaries,
Directories, Encyclopedias, Historic Documents, Quotations,
Statistics, and Thesauri.

According to the National Home Education Research Institute,
there are over two million homeschooled children in the USA
alone, and this number is growing by 15% per year. In Bali,
homeschooling offers another option to the local International
schools. If you are currently homeschooling or consider
it, here are some resources that you’ll find useful:
