The Awesome Library Website is located at http://www.awesomelibrary.org/
The awesome library is a great idea. It claims to organize the web with over 37,000 carefully reviewed resources. This site is not limited to just math or science but includes math, science, english, the arts, health, and many others. This site is intended for teachers, parents, and kids. The list of links for each subject is extremely extensive and each major category leads to many subcategories, and then individual topics. These topics cover grades from k-12.
While awesome library is a great idea, the execution still needs a little work. With an endeavor this grand, there are sure to be some problems. When searching through a topic, there seems to lose a little rhyme and reason as to the location and content. For example, when examining the section on fractions and decimals, you are lead to flashcard link (for students), lesson plans (for teachers), papers (for teachers and students), and then a part on worksheets (for teachers). It seems that it would be beneficial for each section to break off further into a student section, a teacher section, and maybe a parent or home section. All in all, this is a great site with loads and loads of great information but I think the organization of the info could be better.
