Title
Cybrarian Kids' Educational Curriculum Site
Description
This site has been up and running for five years now--in all manner of shapes and sizes. This site is usually decked out in my current "Flavor of the Month" and changes frequently.
The main purpose of this site is to supply child-friendly sites for kids in grades three through eight on a variety of curriculum oriented subjects. Having been a Media Specialist [which is a fancy name for school Librarian] for many years, I have seen kids looking for the simplest items on the Internet and taking hours to accomplish what one book + ten minutes might have done. There is certainly a need for reference books but it is not always practical. Most people don't own one of those thousand dollar sets of printed encyclopedias or a copy of the latest almanac. The Internet lets us use up to date information. Hopefully, this site will make school information easier to find so that you can get to the stuff that's really important--like Gameboy.
I have been a Media Specialist for 16 years and love to work on websites. In the past few years I have been lucky enough to work with some very nice kids on sites for ThinkQuest, an educational website organization. The year before last, we won the Platinum Award with Kidz Hospital Talk. The team members each won $1000 and loved coming up with ideas on how to spend it. This year my team won Grand Prize in the contest + an $1100 computer + a trip to San Francisco. Click here for that site.
