Today's free Friday is about the Federal Resources for Education Excellence (FREE) website.
FREE makes it easier to find teaching and learning resources from the federal government. More than 1,500 federally supported teaching and learning resources are included from dozens of federal agencies. New sites are added regularly.
I'm impressed that FREE has managed to create such a thorough cataloging of the sites that the Federal Government has funded.
The complete subject map is extensive. Included: 37 Women's History websites, in case you want to get a jump start on Women's History Month (March).
The FREE site itself is well organized. Some of the FREE resource sites have lousy interfaces, but usually the quality of the content makes up for it. For example one rather low-end interface site has over 200 songs (?) written about Abe Lincoln and the Civil War, including his funeral march as it was originally printed.
But I don't want to leave you on a somber note, so here is Abe's 1964 Campaign song, in four part harmony for the big finale!
