New AccuWeather Website ­ Educational and Safe for Children
By Ira Wilsker, APCUG Director; Columnist, The Examiner, Beaumont TX; radio and TV show host.

I have written many columns about the threats on the internet, and many of those online threats have been directed at children. The popular social networking sites used by millions of children and adults have been abused by some, and become a source of online threats and other undesirable actions directed against our children. Now there is a free, kid-safe website that is educational and fun for children, which can be used to safely communicate with other children worldwide, and as a display page for student activities and projects.

This new page, a service of the renowned weather service AccuWeather is AccuKidz and online accuweather.com/kidz or AccuKidz.com AccuKidz is a special interest site for kids that specializes in weather news, but also offers other beneficial services such as social networking, and a place to display student projects. This website offers the child fun educational topics including weather, photography, video production, science, art, and other subjects. AccuKidz offers free web pages to schools and class teams, including home schooled children, where kids can post their work, photos, weather videos, science projects, and items of community interest for the world to see.
