Those Small and Mighty Creatures
Have you ever wanted to hang out in an ant tunnel or buzz around a beehive?
At Bugwatch, you can get up close to a world of insects you never knew.
Did you know that the dragonfly's eyes consist of thousands of lenses, or
that wasps are marked with war paint? Once here, you'll get the chance to
check out great animations, photos and information on your favorite buggy
friends. From butterflies to bees to the dragonfly, you're going to be
crawling around Bugwatch for a while. There's even a special spider section
if you're interested in surfing a different kind of web! Just watch out for
those wasps! Bring bug spray and a sharp set of eyes to
Window on the World
Forget about passports, seasickness and heavy luggage. Even if you don't
speak the language, this Trans-Asia expedition lets you see the world from
your computer screen.
You'll find out just how long the Black Sea is and
which countries touch its shores. Got an appetite for baklava and hamsi?
Join other student explorers and find out!
Just click on the "Explore" icon to read travel logs, learn the history and
traditions of each country, see the daily noon photo, and find out what the
explorers ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You'll get to know the host
students from all the different countries and watch for other expeditions
to come. Happy sailing!

Dear Amy:My parents think that chat rooms on the
Internet are a bad influence on kids. We disagree. What do you think? -- Laura & Rosie, Boise, ID
Dear Laura & Rosie:Chat rooms can be cool and it's fun to meet new people.
But since my folks limit my online time, I think there are more awesome
things to do on the Web than chat. If you are interested, have your parents
check out the chat room with you and then agree to some safety rules.
Number one is to never give out your home address or agree to meet someone
without your parents' permission. Here's an alternative if you like to
speak your mind: Go to Apple's Youth Central at They
have message exchange boards on lots of great topics.
Dear Amy::How do you start your own Web site? I want to know how other
kids did them! -- Dani, Manhattan, NY
Dear Dani:First, get some server space through your school or from your
Internet Service Provider. Next, create the Web page by learning HTML code
to make your words appear the way you want on your Web page. You can
include pictures, too. For more details, go to the Beginner's Guide to HTML. Also,
there is special software around that makes writing HTML code easier. Ask
at a computer store.
