I have a huge backlog of resources that I’ve been planning to post about in this blog but, just because of time constraints, have not gotten around to doing. Instead of letting that backlog grow bigger, I regularly grab a few and list them here with a minimal description. It forces me to look through these older links, and help me organize them for my own use. I hope others will find them helpful, too. These are resources that I didn’t include in my “Best Tweets” feature because I had planned to post about them, or because I didn’t even get around to sending a tweet sharing them.

Here are This Week’s “Links I Should Have Posted About, But Didn’t”:

I’ve previously posted about “Ology,” the children’s website of the American Museum of Natural History. I’m adding some of their specific sections to various “The Best…” lists, including:

Ology — Zoology to The Best Sites For Learning About Animals.

Ology — Astronomy to The Best Sites For Learning About Planets & Space.

Ology — Climate Change to The Best Sites To Learn About Climate Change.

I’m also adding these sites to the Climate Change list:
