Resources
Student Resources on the Web contains websites that may assist in research at home or at school. The Online Reference Shelves contain links to websites that mirror standard reference sources (ie: dictionaries) The General Shelves contain links to Search Engines specifically designed for kids. These search engines return site matches that have either been viewed by a content editor or filtered through commercial filtering software. The Math Practice section contains links for drill and practice of math facts. The other sites noted on this page can be used for either Learning or Fun
Note: Since no search engine or filter is 100% fullproof, it is recommended that parents supervise children's Internet activities.
