Internet Resources
Internet information is volatile: New Web pages appear, old ones vanish, and URLs change frequently, so be prepared to hunt a bit if you can’t find these sites immediately. A quick check with your favorite Web search engine will find numerous homeschooling sites for you. (When you type URLs into your browser, be sure to catch all the punctuation and capitalization; Web servers are extremely sensitive to such details.)
