Web Site Finders
- Alfy Cool Sites Alfy Cool Sites is a Web directory for young children ages 3 to 9. Alfy has a totally graphical interface for the nonreader; many choices are presented as icons, and moving a mouse over an icon causes the name of the category to be spoken.
- Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators One of the oldest and most visited hotlists of Web sites and advice. Lists of sites are categorized into subject areas and are updated daily. There's also information about Internet search engines, and advice on evaluation tools, assessment rubrics, a readability graph, an Internet curriculum, and more.
- KidsClick! Web Search Created by a group of librarians to guide "young users to valuable and age-appropriate Web sites," KidsClick! includes over 4,000 resources, complete with reading-level analysis. Visitors find sites through either a keyword search or by the use of subject area menus (which, as one might expect from librarians, is correlated to the Dewey decimal system).
- Searchopolis If you're looking for a way to weed out inappropriate Web sites and make sure the resources you give your students are suitable, try the filtered search engine.
- StudyWeb This unit of the Lightspan Partnership provides access to a collection of over 118,000 "research quality URLs," with links to other education-related sites. Anybody can nominate a site to be included by completing an online form.
- TrackStar TrackStar, a project of the South Central Regional Technology in Education Consortium (SCR*TEC), assists teachers in managing lists of Web sites and storing them in "tracks" in the TrackStar database--where they can be accessed by other visitors to the site.
