| For students, parents
and teachers |
|
Sometimes I run across
web sites I think would be of particular interest to students,
parents and teachers. If you have a site you'd like me to
consider, please send me
a link and I'll go take a look!
I always check with a
site owner before posting a link, so if your suggestion doesn't
show up, it may be that the site owner declined to be listed.
Also, none of these sites pay for being listed.
The links below are,
to the best of my knowledge, kid-friendly sites. Parents, please
share the web-surfing experience with your children. It's fun, and
you can be a gentle guide as to what links you feel are
appropriate for your child.
