Lizzie’s List of Fabulous Websites for all Ages and Stages

Presented at long last and for your convenience in a categorized, described as well as
alphabetized version. These are the best of what I have squirreled away and are all
family friendly and kid safe sites to the best of my knowledge. As of March 2008, these
are all working sites.

Technical note:
If you reach a page that looks a bit like this…
http://www.historyforkids.org/FirefoxHTML%5CShell%5COpen%5CCommand that
says they couldn’t find the page, just cut off the part that begins with Firefox in your
address bar and hit enter, so now you have this: http://www.historyforkids.org/ it should
work right after that

all subjects: study notes

courses or programs of courses in my other web pages but this page is for keeping track
of sites with courses. OpenCourseWare sites typically provide a syllabus, description of
the course, problem sets, exams and a schedule. Some sites also provide audio or video
lectures, solutions to problem sets and exams, online textbooks, lecture notes, and links to
supplementary materials. Many OCW courses require textbooks, specialized commercial
software such as Mathematica and software that can be downloaded for free. There are a
lot of areas that are not well-covered and some areas that have a lot of coverage.

http://www.yourchildlearns.com/heraldrygame/index.html free online

The heraldry game is set in the year 1273, a time when things were, well, pretty
medieval. You will play the part of 14 year old Robert, second son of Lord Landley. You
will use the knowledge of heraldry and blazonry taught to you at great pains (mostly
yours) by your father’s herald to identify other characters and know them for friend or
foe. Your fate will lie in your ability to correctly identify them as the story unfolds; if you
fail the consequences may be dire as these are harsh and brutal times.
Lords, like your father, hold their land in fief (in exchange for service in battle) from
the King or, more often, from the other, higher nobility. There are rumors of plots and
counter-plots. Your father and his knights can generally control the immediate country-
side, but there are stories of armed knights about who are not from your castle. Your
nearest neighbor, Lord Sidbury, is said to be embroiled in a plot against the King. Should
the plot succeed, the plotters will have to reward those who helped them, and the lands of
those who remained loyal to the King will be prizes to be shared out.
Everyone still talks about the years of war and lawlessness while King Stephen fought
his cousin Matilda and her son Henry over the throne. No one wants another long drawn-
out war that devastates the countryside, though there are some who would not mind a
quick skirmish that promises gain.
The times are turbulent and dangerous, and what safety can be found lies in knowing
who your allies and your enemies are. Allegiances change with the swirl of changing
politics. You and your father want to protect the King from the plotting of some of the
Lords, but you also want to protect the land you hold in fief from two higher nobles. You
must be quick-witted and recognize knights by their coats of arms before you say
anything to them. By correctly choosing the shield, or the description, you will give
messages to your allies, without revealing yourself to your enemies.
