Lots of winning sites! Keeping with my "Spring Break" theme this week, I found a site called Free Cycle http://www.freecycle.org/ where I can advertise items I no longer need or want to give away FREE to someone else in Juneau. This saves the reusable items from going into the growing landfill! Spring cleaning is here! I am amazed to find there are over 600 people here in Juneau on the list advertising things to give away for FREE or if they need something they ask for it, too! Very useful site all for free!
Another site that I explored is City Search http://www.citysearch.com/ where it is easy to find hotels, restaurants, museums, etc when you are planning a trip to a new place. Often teachers assign students to create a brochure about specific cities or places of interest. This would be a good site for students to use for an assignment about places they research. Reviews of places are posted by those people who have already visited them and students might be able to contribute to this feature. Google maps http://maps.google.com/ will also come in handy this week as my husband and I plan our summer trip! I really like the satellite photos which help put the area in perspective!
