Although
often confused with search engines, today's featured sites
are actually directories, because each and every entry is
handpicked by a human, not an automated Web crawling computer
program. Yes, their databases are considerably smaller than
the huge search engines, but when you type in your keywords,
and hit enter, you can be confident only appropriate family-
friendly sites will be returned.

AOL
@ School: Middle School Search
AOL @ School divides their site recommendations
into four grade levels: primary school (grades K-2), elementary
(grades 3- 5), middle school (grades 6-8) and high school
(grades 9 -12.) This directory is for middle schoolers. The
others can be found by returning to Home (look for the link
at the bottom of the page), following the appropriate grade
link, then choosing Browse by Category. Note that the red
at-sign icon next to a site listing means it is "educator
approved."

Ask
Jeeves for Kids
Like its grownup counterpart, Ask Jeeves
for Kids prides itself on answering natural language questions.
No need to learn boolean or complicated search engine syntax
here, simply ask Jeeves a question such as "Where is
Peru?" But don't expect an answer quite yet. Next you'll
need to choose from a list of questions that Jeeves knows
the answers to. For example "Where can I find a map of
Peru?" or "Where can I find the history of the country
Peru?" If the resulting questions are not exactly what
you wanted, you can modify them by selecting different fill-in-the-blank
phrases from the drop-down boxes.

Native
Vote 2003 - Every Vore Counts
In recent years, American Indian and
Alaska Native voters have begun to flex their muscle at the
polls, demonstrating that they are a critical constituency
throughout a number of key states. Politicians have taken
note of this development, and many members of Congress have
begun taking steps to woo the Native vote for 2004.
