Are you a ‘lazy student?’

I was reading through the some of the replies to my blog the other day.  Some people directly responded to the blog.  Most people wrote ‘I wanna learn’ and left it at that, which is a little frustrating.  The point of the blog is for readers to learn and what they were saying what ‘I’m not learning.  I wanna learn.’

I was on http://www.google.co.uk at the time when I angrily typed in ‘lazy student.’  That’s when I discovered http://www.lazystudent.co.uk/.

It’s divided into 48 categories, each of which has done of listings and links to websites that open in new windows.  In ‘Hot Listings,’ you’ll find the most popular links.  In ‘Editor’s Pick’ you’ll find lots of interesting things to read about.

Their mission statement is “to make it easy for students and educators to integrate the Internet into the classroom. The need for a complete online educational guide is evident. Lazy student is designed to be that resource for students and educators.”  Despite its name the site does just that.  I highly recommend it.

See you next week,
