The guide to search engines, portals, and directories. Highly refined sub-categories allow easy location of the best niche search resources.
This is a new site with great graphics and audio. It is designed as a kids portal playground with safe links.
Take a look at the Indians Who Met The Pilgrims from the native American point of view. This site is created by The Children’s Museum of Boston in cooperation with tribal advisors. Designed primarily for teachers but also of interest to parents, it features accurate, authentic resources that help put in perspective many of the portrayals of Native Americans that many of us learned as children ourselves.
Imagine… a lone athlete facing the challenge of running Australia from Brisbane toPerth, through the Outback. You think that’s a challenge…? Now, imagine a child facing the uncertainty and fear of living with a serious illness. Imagine the Challenge is a site that is being built BY students FOR students who are interested in following an adventurer, David Adie, as he runs the 5000 km distance across Australia (Brisbane to Perth). Students in classrooms can take part in posted challenges, learn more about the people and landscapes of Australia and correspond with David via email as he travels across Australia between Sept. 1999 and Jan. 2000.
Brief biographies and combat stories of the great American fighter pilots of WWII. Sort of an old fashioned collection of stories about heroes.
We ran across this site while searching out the Leonids meteorshower. It presents information on 2 levels: K-8th, 9th-Adult. It is veryeye-appealing…fun for kids of all ages. There are really cool (whileeducational) interactive squares included in some articles. We also likedthe graphics and the “Buzzwords”, (vocabulary).
Another great Web site that has a contest for young poets in grades 4-12 in which they give out over $40,000 in prizes and over $13,000 in grants to schools to help with their language arts. There are no fees to enter and no required purchase. In fact, unlike other contests my kids have entered, the sponsoring organization is a member of the Better Business Bureau.
Cool place for girls! I get lots of good ideas here.
Come and view the photographs that belonged to the “Father of Modern Television”. You will see the first television screen images of baseball, football and Mickey Mouse!
