Web Monkey for Kids
"Ready to make your own Web site and send your weird ideas out into the world? Then you’re in the right place. These fab lessons take you from basics to fun with gizmos like guestbooks, counters and animated graphics. After the lessons, you can tackle projects such as a slide show or a birthday invitation. Teachers will appreciate the lesson plans and everyone will find something of value in Tools (a guide to free downloadable utilities.) Web Monkey for Kids is my pick of the day!"

Way Back Summer Vacation
"What was summer vacation like years ago? And who invented summer camp? Climb aboard the Way Back wagon and learn the history of car camping (also known as gypsying), Miami Beach, and the first summer camps. My favorite click is the Road Trip, a coast-to-coast adventure (from Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts to Disneyland, California) with stops at twelve famous vacation spots."

Triumph of the Nerds

Based on the PBS television special, Triumph of the Nerds explores the lives of the young men that created the personal computer revolution and ""accidently changed the world."" There’s a timeline that traverses from abacus to Internet, stats and facts about five favorite nerds, and a fun ""Can you Guess the Computer?"" Shockwave game that lets you test your nerd quotient. "

Tracking Creativity
"What does it mean to be creative? How does one start? Right here, right now with the Footsome Brothers (yes, they are a pair of feet). Join the creative fun and learn to write an ode, recognize an idiom or explore the shoes of the future. The theme that ties it all together is feet. "Feet, oh feet, I simply cherish you, You help me in every thing that I do. Feet, oh feet, you enable me to run. When I lay down you take a break - have fun!" The fact that my Web site is listed as a resource in their reference section has nothing to do with why I liked this site. Really!"

Time for Kids
"Time for Kids is my pick of the day because covers the tough issues such as the war on terrorism, along with sports, fun features and challenging games. Time for Kids can be navigated from the front page, the pop-up scrolling news headlines, or through the grade-sorted archive of the three English and two Spanish editions. Best bet games for learning include Famous Face Offs (match the newsmakers’ names with their head shots) and Trivia Time Machine (finish famous headlines from the twentieth century.)"
