REVIEW:
Here is a site where kids can find games and learning activities, do school research, chat with their friends in adult-monitored rooms, create Web reports and projects, and have their own personalized e-mail and calendars. Zeeks has a variety of activities -- some are purely for fun; others are more educational. Parents and teachers won't want to miss the free, downloadable Web-filtering software that can help keep kids safe on the Internet. ZeekSafe is a membership site that asks for a minimal amount of information about the user and encourages the use of aliases. Membership is free and allows users access to the chat rooms, e-mail, and Zeeks super fun and creative factory projects privileges. This is a great site that is well worth bookmarking!
