Recommendation:

Somewhere on this site it states `A thousand websites in one!´ It takes a moment to adjust to the layout because the pages are teeming with small graphics in every color. But there are several ways to sort and search the site that make the busy pages seem more manageable. The games are fun and while they have a bit of an arcade feel to them, students have to think and problem solve to play the games. There are also many other interactive experiences in a wide array of topics. Some are just for fun, others provide research information or skill practice. The site also provides `geobills´ as a currency for high scoring students. These can be turned in for prizes. Be cautious of getting involved in this component of the site without some further investigation.
