Online Guidance Great Websites for Any Age
Googling Yahoo’s “Yahooligans for kids,” and the Associa- tion for Library Service to Children’s “2010 notable children’s books” pulls up wonderful websites, as does visiting
MyYoungChild.org, for its listen-along children’s stories that build values, but how do families always know which Internet resources to trust? Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s safe, where the hidden treasures are and what’s a waste of time. The Ameri- can Library Association has published How to Tell if You Are Looking at a Great Web Site to help.
QUICK GREEN TIP:
Dissolve 1 to 1½ teaspoons of baking soda in 1 quart of water to kill bugs on flowering plants. Spray every 7-10 days.
Great sites share meaningful and useful content that educates, informs or entertains in a way that is appropriate to their stated purpose; they both enrich the user’s experience and expand the imagination. The best sites have personality and strength of character, are easy to use, and will not re- quire the user to pay a fee or type in personal information in order to use them. It’s important that the primary website and any linked site clearly note its sponsors and authors, who will both invite and respond to guest comments and sug- gestions. A great site will not knowingly violate copyright or other laws, and will not list, link to or recommend resources that do.
