Headbone Zone - Headbone Interactive recognized the need to provide students and teachers with a safe, structured, and fun tool to explore the Internet and practice online research. The Headbone Derby Teacher s Guide has all you need to get started, as well as an Internet Primer. The Headbone Derby is a series of online research adventures designed for fourth through eighth grade students. These Internet research tools provide students with an engaging structure where they learn and conduct Internet research. Every Derby is an adventure story with a dynamic cast of characters and involves subjects that are important to kids.
Every story has seven episodes, each ending with a puzzle.
To solve the puzzles, students are directed through the World Wide Web. There are also links and activities teaching kids to compare their local online news with printed versions and with national online news sources. With animation and lots of fun graphics, kids and their parents can explore the world of finance without reading dry finance books. One of the best sections on this site is the library. Family Xpeditions is an opportunity for teachers, students, and parents to explore the world through reading, suggested field trips, games, and crafts.
