This is going to be an interesting week.  I will be in Boston this week.  I want to show you some photos of the city.

I'd like to introduce you to four interesting sites.  You can look at the pages and decide if you want Claudia to help you connect with these social groups.

Below are eleven sites that cater to kids between the ages of 4 and 13 that are worth considering for a variety of reasons.
1. Togetherville.com: a social-networking site for children that is monitored by parents. (Disney, the parent company of ABC, owns Togetherville.com.)
 Parents set up an account and monitor their children's activities, including being in charge of who gets approved for a child's "neighborhood."
 Lots of interactive games for kids of all skill levels, featuring fun music.
 Educational videos that are also entertaining.
2. Yoursphere.com: a social-networking site designed for kids to interact with kids in a comfortable zone
 Founded by an Internet safety advocate who's also a mom.
 Site lets kids create cool avatars, connect with others and earn fun prizes.
 Site can be a good introduction to social networking while kids are still young and not ready for sites like Facebook.
3. ePals.com: an educational community bringing together learners from all over the planet.
 Areas for parents, families, students and teachers allow for dedicated and well-directed information.
 Projects for classrooms and families, generating learning and a sense of global community.
4. ClubPenguin.com: a virtual world site that promotes global consciousness, charitable giving and sharing.
 Membership is limited and monitored, allowing for children to roam safely within the penguin world.
 Interactions between members are promoted, especially in a socially conscious way that encourages children to share, learn to give, and be responsible.
 Write the name of the websites in your notebook.
