5.0 out of 5 stars Online Activities For Kids, January 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Online Activities for Kids: Projects for School, Extra Credit, or Just Plain Fun! (Paperback)

This book is so much fun! It is easy to use and offers imaginative ideas for internet projects and cybersurfing. My favorite project was to write haiku poetry and get it published on the web. You won't want to put this book down until you've tried every single project, either with your family, your classroom, or even just by yourself.

Most of the activities in this book are outdated. The websites don't even exist anymore. What a waste!
