Box 10.7 Potential Non-Commercial Developers of Content for Children and Youth Children's museums and science centers: information and content-oriented Web sites are often part of their outreach services. Non-profit educationally related groups such as the Jason Foundation and Global School Network. Government agencies: a number of agencies have sites or Web pages that are oriented toward children. Examples include the Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (<http://www.ed.gov/free>) and NASA (<http://www.nasa.gov/kids.html>). Universities have a mission to disseminate information to the general public. Finally, corporate support can be non-commercial in nature as well. For example, MCI/Worldcom supports an effort known as the MarcoPolo project (<http://marcopolo.worldcom.com/>). The materials found on the site are not tied to child-oriented products and hence do not seek to entice children to acquire dolls or playing cards or other toys. Blue Web'n (<http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/index.html>) is supported as a public service by Pac Bell and consists of a searchable database of about 1,000 outstanding Internet learning sites categorized by subject area, audience, and type (lessons, activities, projects, resources, references, and tools). Other firms, such as Scholastic Inc. and Classroom Connect, offer some free educational content as a lead-in to other products and services available for a fee. Education World, an educational publication, offers a portal with access to educational content; this site is supported by advertising, but the advertising is directed toward adults rather than children.
