Virtual Fun and Education

By Missy Tripodi, Publisher Macaroni KID Lincolnton-Gastonia NC January 25, 2022

Are you looking for places to go but you can't take time off, don't have the funds for a real vacation, or are you still being COVID cautious? Here is a website with all kinds of virtual learning opportunities as well as some travelling, virtually!  I will provide links to a few of the ones that caught my eye but you can go straight to the website and find all kinds of things that will fit with your needs and adventurous spirit.

Not only are there virtual opportunities, but there is an abundance of educational opportunities as well. A perfect resource for homeschoolers as well as reference for everyone who needs information for personal or school use. 

Most of the sites there are free but some do require a fee. I have included 4 of the free ones here.
