Internet Access
By Jillian Bietz

The Internet: what would we do with out it? With a click of the mouse, we can talk to friends who live on the other side of the world, shop for clothes, and do homework all at once. However, the World Wide Web is so vast that it can be overwhelming. And while its entertainment value certainly can't be denied (Facebook, anyone?) it's actually a portal to the whole wide world. Here, from all the corners of the Internet are some of the most helpful websites that will make your time online more productive and ultimately help to make life easier. Because "google-ing" can only take you so far!

Librarian, please?

With a tagline like "more information please" and adorable illustrations of cute little creatures of every page, this factmonster.com is great for students of all ages.

Save and Shop
www.couponcabin.com
Though it's super convenient, shopping online isn't as helpful as it may seem. While you may be saving gas money, the prices can soar when there is no sale rack or in store special. However, just because you may not have the time to clip out coupons doesn't mean you are doomed. Print out coupons for the grocery store or use the codes to receive free shipping for an online order, and save money both online and off with this site.
