Hi Chris, (Esteemed Secretary) :)
Actually, what you *can* do, without any expense, is to put copies of some
web pages onto the computer, as well as a copy of Netscape (which is free
for education). For example, this page here:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE><Bee Alert! of The University of Montana-Missoula</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY text="#330099" vlink="cc3333" background="clouds2.gif"><p>
<h1><B><I><FONT SIZE=+7>K</FONT><FONT SIZE=+5>ids'
Corner</font></I><h1></font><p><font size=+2><IMG SRC="birds.gif"
ALIGN=baseline>
</p>
<H2><a href="trivia.htm">Honey Bee Trivia</a></H2>
<H2><a href="games.htm">Games & Puzzles</a></H2>
<H2><a href="color.htm">Coloring Book</a></H2>
<H2><a href="bees2.htm">Honey Bee Pictures</a></H2>
<H2><a href="kid2.htm">Buzzy's Favorite Sites</a></h2>
<p>
<BR><BR><a href="default.htm">BEE ALERT!</a> <IMG SRC="back.gif"></font>
</BODY>
</HTML>
if you copy and save the above as a text file, then open it with Netscape
or another browser, it will open just like a web page. (This page is at:
http://grizzly.umt.edu/biology/bees/kid.htm).
Of course, you also have to save the photos and companion pages with the
correct names, but that's not too hard to do. It would be possible to build
up quite a nice little collection of bee stuff from the World Wide Web,
have it on the computer, and then let the kids see it without having to
connect to the net every time.
I would hope the University of Montana might be pleased to have its page
used this way?? We'd have to ask them.
(And of course we'd have to fix the spelling of 'color' and 'favorite'
while we're at it. Isn't English crazy?) :)
