Sites for Kids
The links listed below are to websites that have been selected as appropriate for children. However, since the Internet is constantly changing what is appropriate today may be inappropriate tomorrow. While the library regularly checks these links it cannot guarantee that they will still be suitable in the future.
A kid-friendly way for kids to find answers to their questions online. Designed to be a fun destination site focused on learning and "edutainment," Ask Jeeves for Kids uses natural-language technology that allows kids to ask questions, such as "Why is the sky blue?" or "What's it like to live in space?". The service combines human editorial judgment with filtering technology to enable kids to find both relevant and appropriate answers on the Web.
Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids is a service of the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO). The site provides learning tools for K-12 students, parents, and teachers. The resources will teach how our government works, the use of the primary source materials of GPO Access, and how one can use GPO Access to carry out their civic responsibilities. And, just as GPO Access provides locator services to U.S. Government sites, Ben's Guide provides a similar service to U.S. Government Web sites developed for kids.
