Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education

Welcome to this Treasure Chest of Free Stuff.

A significant number of students I have supported in special education would be intrigued by today’s feature. I file most calendar resources on my Productivity page. This one clearly belongs with Content & Curriculum.

Calendar Magic (downloadable program) There are numerous free calendar applications, but this one is unique. Calendar Magic offers calendars in Gregorian, Chinese, Hebrew, Julian, and Persian formats. This calendar enables you to go back to virtually any date in history. It’s easy to go back and find the day of the week on which you were born, or to discover how many days you have lived.

If you need to know the date and time of an equinox, solstice, or moon phase in any year between 1582 and 3000, then this is the calendar for you. Also, if you need to know when religious festivals or other days of observance occur, Calendar Magic will help you with that.

Of course, Calendar Magic can give you reminders for current events such as birthdays or anniversaries, even an audible reminder for something that is about to happen immediately. Other features include a Geometry calculator and a mathematical Expressions Calculator. This program has been developed by a company called Eurosoft, and they continue to update it. The latest release was on Aug. 11, 2006.

The program is available from Eurosoft.

This program runs in Windows.
