Recommended Web Sites
Disclaimer:
It should go without saying
that although we list web sites, that does not imply that we feel that any child should
visit these sites unsupervised. Children who stumble into trouble on the Internet are
using it without supervision. Also, there may be sites that we have not personally
visited. These are sites that we have been made aware through professional
organizations or journals. We list them because we have confidence in the source. Of
course, at school, before visiting a web site with a child, we personally check it out. No
exceptions.
