For those of you who haven’t fully explored it yet, AllMyFaves offers a whole page dedicated to a most important subject: Education. Suitable for curious souls, students of all ages, teachers and homeschooling parents, the Education page aims to provide a comprehensive resource for practically every field related to learning, teaching and research, both in and outside the classroom.
Thus far we’ve been getting great feedback on the Education page, and we’re delighted students and teachers across the country are making use of the top resources this page has to offer. Take Writings on the Wall, an edu blog of an English teacher (Mrs. Brill) for example. Mrs. Brill introduced the AMF Eduction page to her students as a “favorite homework helper.” Speaking of teachers, AllMyFaves also has a Teachers Mini Faves page available, listing the very top teacher resources the Web has to offer. These include a myriad of tools from classroom technology aids and educational videos to lesson plans, educational blogs and visualization tools for the classroom.
Whether you are a teacher, a pupil or an academic student, the Education page has something for everyone. A world of knowledge awaits you!
This is a picture of the Teachers Mini Faves. Would you like to create your own Mini Faves page? It’s free! Join All My Faves and start customizing your own visual page.
Online ConVert – I just love it when a website offers a useful service for free, without any background noise. That’s the case with Online ConVert, a ridiculously simple conversion site for practically any type of media file you can think of.
Use Online ConVert to handle all your audio, video, image, document, eBook and hash files and transform them to the file type you’re looking for in your desired category. Oh, and the best part? No download is required. Period. That’s just wonderful.
thredUP – You buy your 5 year old kid an entire wardrobe. A year later nothing fits. We’re all familiar with this scenario. But before you head for the mall or your favorite retail store, consider this idea: clothing swap. thredUP is a great time and money saving solution for families looking for the right size of apparel items for their growing children. Although the swap is for used clothing, they’re all in good condition. You only pay for the shipping costs and you must provide a box of clothes your child has outgrown. This exchange is a terrific concept and I sincerely hope it will catch on. After all, it saves time, money, and it’s all about good intentions. thredUP is a win-win situation.
Breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2007, 178,480 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,460 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In addition, 2,030 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die this year.
So how can you help? How can you make a difference?
Your click on the “Click Here to Give – it’s FREE” button helps fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Be nice. Visit the Breast Cancer Site.
Once there you may choose to click on some more causes in order to donate: Animal rescue, Rainforest, Hunger, Literacy and Child health.
Here is a great deal that I wanted to share with you dedicated readers. (If you are not yet one of our dedicated readers make sure to subscribe to our RSS feed)
One of my favorite newsletter is the one from Buy.com. You can truly find some amazing deals on it.
Only recently I bought myself a Kingston 2GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for only $16.95 (with Google checkout it comes down to $6.95). Today, my girlfriend asked me to buy her one as well. So I made my way back to Buy.com. While browsing around the site I came across an even better deal.
Kingston 1GB Data Traveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for only $10.00 (again, with Google checkout it comes down to $00.00!). At this point you are probably asking yourself “where’s the catch?”. Well, there is no catch, shipping is free (available only in the US), Gmail account you probably already have (and if not, it takes only 2 min to sign up). The only thing that I had to pay was a tax fee of $0.72. That’s it.
Decide quick because on the product page it says that there are very few left in stock. You can never have to much memory.
If you are a Web 2.0 enthusiast you, probably, have already heard of Joost. The Web 2.0 version of your home television.
