Webivore helps elementary, middle school, and high school students and educators find useful, relevant, and credible educational web sites. Webivore provides Previews that describe each Web site in the collection. These are organized by subject and topic.
Previews detail the content as well as provide context within the larger subject area.
Web sites referenced in Webivore meet Webivore's selection criteria and are found, reviewed, and organized by Webivore's team of Content Experts who include scholars and teachers. Our goal in developing Webivore was to help students, teachers, librarians, and other educators more easily locate and use the rich content available on the web to enhance their educational research and study. As we watched students use the web in classrooms and libraries for research, we saw that many were frustrated and unable to easily find high quality materials. Discussions with teachers, school administrators, librarians, and parents confirmed this high level of frustration. Learners are often unsure of the quality or accuracy of what they find on the web.
