New Year's Resolution #2: Boost those grades!

Bonjour tout le monde,*

*Hello everyone in French, a language you can learn using one of the sites below...

This is part 2 of my New Year's Resolution post series (click here to see part 1) and this post is dedicated to using the net to boost your grades.

There are a ton of great education sites online that can help you work towards that resolution of yours to get all A's (better grades were one of your resolutions, right?). Below are a few of my favorites:

Babble (http://www.babbel.com/)- Using this site, you can learn or improve your foreign language skills in French, Spanish, Italian, or German. The site teaches you through a variety of fun activities and adjusts to your level (beginner to native).

Free Rice (http://www.freerice.com/)- I mentioned this site in my last post, but I thought I'd mention it again since it's such a great educational site that gives to charity at the same time. Use this site to build your geography, math, foreign language, vocabulary, chemistry, and English language skills.

Lernu (http://lernu.net/)- This site teaches you Esperanto, "the language of hope", using free lessons ranging from beginner to advanced. There are even volunteers who can check your exercises in order to help you grasp the language better. Learning Esperanto can be a good idea if you're interested in foreign languages as being a very basic language, it can help you understand how a language functions.

Official SAT Prep Test (http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/prep_one/test.html?BannerID=pretest&AffiliateID=PREPCENTER)- Offered by the College Board itself, this online practice test can help you see if you are up to the challenge for the SAT.

Purdue Online Writing Lab (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/)- Upkept by Purdue University, this site can help you out with various writing assignements.

Quizlet (http://www.quizlet.com/)- Started by a teen looking for a better way to study, this site allows you to create, save, and share virtual flashcards.


Okay, that's it! All you need to get good grades... if you so choose.

Does anybody else know of any good education sites to add to the list?
