Discover Some of the Web's Best Sites...
We've come to depend more on the internet - to get answers to questions, learn the news, get entertained, or to help us with our jobs. In fact, there is so much, sometimes It's hard to find the very best.
I developed this site to help our USU Summer Citizens find some awesome new resources they can use. Our summer citizens are retired seniors who enjoy lifelong learning. However, everyone is welcome to use this website! So this is an attempt to gather a few of the very best internet resources and share them with you.
Please note that this site will always be under construction. I'll be adding (or removing) sites constantly. So check back frequently! I used Weebly.com to create and publish this website, and it is an easy to use, awesome tool that you can use, too!
NOTE TO PARENTS: Parents, if you're looking for resources for your children, there are some great sites here. However, some sites listed in this collection may have content unsuitable for young children. As a parent, be sure to check out a site thoroughly before allowing your children to go there.
