LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I have spent a rather frustrating afternoon working with my fourth graders
on a countries of the world research project. I have created a webquest on
my website with the links that I wanted kids to use so they would stay on
task and not get lost.
http://www.usd327.org/EES/EESlib/Countries%20WQpage.htm
The students were supposed to look up their country and take notes on the
information that they found. Most of the afternoon, however, was spent
closing up popup ad windows and getting kids out of ad sites that they
mistakenly ended up in. Fortunately none of the ads were for inappropriate
sites but both the kids and I were more frustrated than informed.
I didn't remember this being a problem when I found the sites and made the
web page. Did I pick poor sites? Are there better ones?
Does anyone know of a software program that will block unsolicited popup
windows, preferably free or shareware. A search of the internet found a few
commercial sites but they were beyond our budget.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this would be appreciated.
