We believe that in an information age, access to or isolation from information resources will have a major influence on which children have the opportunities to be successful. We also believe that the challenges surrounding information technologies usher in a new set of children's issues that will become front and center for children's advocates over the next decade.
Animals are a popular topic with children of all ages.
In addition to Zoo Home Pages, ZooNet includes links to sites about specific animals, pictures of animals and endangered species. Some children first learn of The Oregon Trail by playing the computer game of the same name. Many will eventually study this historic corridor in school. This site, based on the award-winning PBS documentary film, is a wonderful way to supplement traditional sources of information. This particular site provides information on the NASA research team of scientists at the Johnson Space Center and at Stanford University which found evidence that strongly suggests primitive life may have existed on Mars more than 3.6 billion years ago.
