http://www.studyweb.com/ Designed for
students (but useful for anyone doing research online), StudyWeb is a directory
of Web sites organized by academic subject. Each listed site is rated according
to its suitability for various grade levels and the amount of visual content
the site offers.
Colleges relying on Web as recruiting tool: As students turn to the Web more often to search for colleges, universities are tailoring their Web sites to attract applicants. Read about online college searches at http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/tech/cti602.htm
Controlling internet content at school is handled by the Tech Staff through Igear. But what can you use at home? If you use Internet Explorer, Content Advisor provides a way to help you control the types of content that your computer can gain access to on the Internet. After you turn on Content Advisor, only rated content that meets or exceeds your criteria can be displayed. You can adjust the settings: Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options, Content Tab. Click on Enable. If you've already enabled Content Advisor, click Settings, and then type the supervisor password.
Click a category in the list, and then drag the slider to set the limits you want to use. Repeat this process for each category you want to limit, and then click OK. If a supervisor password has not already been set up for your computer, you are prompted to create one.
