Kid-Safe Web Portals

The sites in this exploration were designed to provide a safe starting point for students exploring the world wide web. Most of these sites have been developed by educators or librarians and the sites linked off these web portals have been checked for appropriate content. I've used these sites for years in my computer lab without incident.

Note: For the most part, the sites above are non-profit or educator sites which do not have all the banner ads, those annoying pop-up ads and the other distractions (games, jokes, etc.) that can get in the way of students using the web in a productive manner. Many of the sites below are .com sites and offer those distractions along with appropriate and useful content.
