the Net with Kids Online Index - Barbara Feldman, a teacher, has put together
a great site for educational kids stuff on the web. This is what she has to

searching for educational content takes patience. Maybe getting there is supposed
to be half the fun, but for my kids, it's the destination that counts. Here
are my favorite destination sites for kids. They are reviewed, rated and organized
by topic." http://www.surfnetkids.com/
