The following are a few fun sites on the Web that I thought students
might enjoy. If you have comments about how lame they are, please keep them
to yourself.
We talk about liberals and conservatives a lot in history class. Ever wonder
where you fall on the political spectrum, at least in one person's estimation?

Smallest Political Quiz
History is as much the story of people you've never heard of, as it
is of the famous and infamous. If you know someone who has been a hero to
you, there is a site where you can tell the world about them. My
Hero is the name of the site, and they would like to hear about your
hero - relative, coach, pastor or whoever. Your hero might even get on TV.
I want you to write, even if it's just an email postcard. MIT has everything
you need, including art and photographs. Try sending a picture
postcard to someone on the Web.
Lost - Ego Booster was
one of my favorite fun sites. It was good for kids that had had a bad day
at school or were having troubles with boyfriends, girlfriends or just plain
friends. It was put together by a man from Hofstra University, but seems
to have disappeared from the web. Let me know if you can find a new address
for it.
We, at New Tech, aim to produce culturally literate graduates. Whether or
not that means knowing how to insult someone in Elizabethan English is unclear,
but if you think it is, check out the Shakespeare
Insult Page for pointers.
Pre-Worf Star Trek alert: The Captain
James T. Kirk Sing-a-long Page has sound files of Captain Kirk trying
to sing. The result is truly bad.
Teenagers are always telling me how bored they are. How bored are you? Visit
Are you bored and find out.
