Read the entire article and check out the entire list of terrific Web sites for students |

Today's students are far more likely to turn to the Internet for research and homework help than to visit the library. The problem is, there are so many Web sites in cyberspace that it can be difficult to find what you're looking for—and trust what you're reading. Here are a few terrific sites that provide homework help, reference guides, and imaginative projects for a range of grades and subjects. 1. Fact Monster A monster of a site indeed, Fact Monster offers a handful of tools, like a searchable dictionary, word games, an encyclopedia with more than 57,000 articles, and scores of world maps. 2. Bartleby.com: Great Books Online Students in high school or college will want to bookmark Bartleby.com, a site that contains a dizzying number of documents—from the Complete Works of William Shakespeare to Roget's Thesaurus to Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body. 3. Funbrain Who says learning has to be boring? Funbrain features a handful of educational but entertaining math games and exercises for students in kindergarten to grade 12. 4. Math Central Available in English or French, this Canadian Web site offers mathematical help for students in kindergarten to grade 12. 5. HyperHistory Online This site navigates through 3,000 years of world history with interactive lifelines, timelines, and maps. The People section reaches from 1000 BC to the present, while the Maps section displays seven Periods of World History with many links to dozens of regional maps. |

Compact digital cameras are great devices, offering far more capabilities than conventional, film-based models. The increased versatility makes a high-tech camera very useful for serious image making. For the very best results though, it's important to recognize common mistakes and learn how to prevent them |
1. Excessive contrast— If you've shot on days with harsh sunlight, you've probably noticed that many of your digital images exhibit extremely high contrast. Such pictures include dark shadow areas and ultra- bright highlight areas. Excessive brightness is the most serious problem, with "burned-out" or "blown-out" highlights that obscure detail in, for example, a bride's white gown or a snow-covered hillside.
|
2. Inadequate flash range— A flash unit simply does not provide adequate reach for a distant bride and groom during a ceremony or the quarterback at a night football game. Nor can flash light up the vast interior of a cathedral, castle, or cave.
|
3. Excessive JPEG compression— With most digital cameras, the default level for image quality is fairly low, adequate for a 4 x 6-inch print, perhaps. Many camera owners use this quality level, which produces a fairly small image file due to high compression. That makes sense, but it's a mistake for anyone who plans to make larger prints. .
