The Heart of the Matter’s Friday Meme posed the following question: “What great educational freebie sites do you frequently visit?”
Well, I must admit, I am one who helps fuel the economy and I struggled to come up with even ONE freebie site that I visit regularly. And then it hit me . . . I am actually a devotee of FOUR complimentary educational sites.
- Wikipedia – A free encyclopedia with thousands, no, millions of articles in a plethora of languages.
- Dictionary.com – This is a fabulous free dictionary, thesaurus and vocabulary learning resource.
- Bible Gateway – An online Bible with easy-to-use passage and keyword search engines utilizing over 100 versions of the Bible.
- Words by William Whitaker – A Latin-to-English dictionary that my children have used for years.
I hope you find these sites helpful and enjoyable as well as FREE.

Thanks for the great links. They are all really useful and I have added them to my favourites.
Have a great weekend

Absolutely! How could I have forgotten those first 3? I use them almost daily! I’ll have to check out the Words site.
We’re great fans of Wikipedia and Dictionary.com as well. I’m not familiar with the other two. Thanks for the links.
How about blogs? They are the free-est, most up-to-date stuff out there. Good sites. I’ll have to check out that Latin site.
Of course! Wikipedia and BibleGateway get used a lot at our house! Thanks for the other links too.
Yep! I use those all the time!
