Interactive Web Sites for Teens
Haycock, Ken
Teacher Librarian, v33 n1 p38 Oct 2005
Eighty-three percent of teenagers are online. The average teen spends 5 to 10 hours a week on the Web. When using Web sites, teenagers are easily bored. Teenagers are also not nearly as skilled as adults at navigating the Web and do not really care for glitzy graphics. Insufficient reading skills, immature research strategies, and unwillingness to tough it out when Web sites are difficult to navigate are some reasons why teens become bored when online searching. In this article, the author discusses the type of Web sites that teens will like.
