	CONTENT: CyberSleuth-Kids is an online search engine and guide for K-12 students. The sites' goal "is to provide a safe educational online database of links to help the student sift through the maze of information."
	AESTHETICS: The site design is a typical Internet directory that uses color and a few graphics to add interest. The pop-up ads can be very distracting.
	ORGANIZATION: This site, designed for kids, is easy to navigate. The resources are categorized by topic into twenty-one groups. The database can be searched by keyword and there is also a top navigation bar available. A classroom clipart index and subject theme index are available on the left side of the main page.
	REVIEW: CyberSleuth-Kids will help students sift through the vast resources of the Internet and pinpoint the information that is most useful to them. Sites that are added to this database have been reviewed and considered to be educationally appropriate for students. A good place to start is with the subject theme index at the bottom left side of the page. Here students will find quick access to typical classroom topics. Additionally there is a ClassroomClipart index that provides access to over 20,000 school related images. Teachers will also want to check out this site for free lesson plans, rubrics, worksheets and productivity tools as well as online math flash cards and word searches for a variety of subjects.
