Berit’s Best – Homework Helpers
http://www.beritsbest.com/browse/default.html
An old saying goes: “Give a person a fish and they eat for a day; teach how to fish and they eat forever.” The article at this site teaches kids how to do research on the web. It talks about on-line encyclopedias, emphasizing those best suited for younger kids. It also covers searching for more in-depth information. Finally it gives a link to a site on how to reference materials found on the web. This is just one part of the following site.

Berit’s Best – Sites for Children
http://www.beritsbest.com/
This site is an encyclopedia in itself. But it is more than that, with a Just for Fun section, one on Penpals and Chatting, another called By Kids, For Kids, and a section on Internet Safety. Finally, users can suggest new sites to add.

So many places to go….
