The Blue Web'n Update lists the weekly additions to Blue Web'n, a
searchable online library of Blue-Ribbon Web sites sponsored by Pacific
Bell. Blue Web’n sites are categorized by Grade Level, Content Area,
Application, and Dewey Decimal Number.
Did you know that you can search the Blue Web’n database to access over
1200 great educational resources? Go to
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn and either browse the content
table, or conduct a search for age-appropriate materials (see the link
to Grade Level search near the top of the page).
Blue Web'n is back. These two weeks off have helped me get caught up
with web work and travel a little to schools in Mariposa, Lemoore and
Fremont. Let's get started with some new picks.

Geography World ****
http://members.aol.com/GeographyWorld
Brad Bowerman, a teacher from Jermyn, Pennsylvania, has put together
this resource that links to everything on the web a geography teacher
(cultural or physical) should need. A great find was the links to Maps
and Globes, with lots of links to maps and a link to Map Jokes (with Map
Haiku also at that website). In the Geography Quizzes area, a lot of the
legwork has been done for you...you just need to decide which quizzes to
use. World regions are represented with many links that could benefit
students researching individual countries. Included in these links are
resources created by Mr. Bowerman himself.
