4 Web Sites I Visit Most Often

Here are 4 sites that I use on either a daily basis or quite frequently...

I love to learn so I tend to look things up a lot. For that reason, I pretty much use Google on a daily basis. Google Scholar is a great source for peer reviewed information that I use a lot at work, Google Maps helps me out because I am fairly directionally challenged, and regular ol' Google search helps me answer the many curiosities I tend to come up with every day. I tend to refer to this site as The Oracle.  


In my attempt to start cooking more, I have had to rely heavily on the internet to guide me through the process. To make things more interesting I have to eat gluten-free, so I have spent much time browsing the internet for recipes that are almost as good those containing that lovely gluten. About a year ago I ran across the site Gluten free on a shoestring and it has saved me life! They have a lot of really great recipes ranging from doughnuts to salad dressing. And if you have ever tried to cook gluten-free, you quickly find out that it is not cheap, so this sites focuses heavily on affordable recipes. I do not tend to visit this site daily, but several times a week.



Blackboard is no doubt one site that I will be using on a daily basis for the next few years as I work my way through school. While taking an online class, this site is my virtual classroom, but from past experience I expect even my classroom based classes will be using this site a lot as an additional resource. 



Along with my Googling skills, accompanied by that tends to be Wikipedia. Though this site is not known for their high standards in credibility and accuracy, it is a great starting point for fast information. When doing research I tend to start here for basic information and then branch out in to more credible resources from there.
