Under the slogan, "From exploitation to education", the Global March Against Child Labour is an international movement dedicated to giving every child a chance to live and grow without the burden of exploitative work. This excellently designed site is an example of how the web can make issues which are important but often not appealing to young people seem relevant and worth getting involved in. Numerous ways to help in the campaign are detailed.

Several sections are "under construction", the News section consists of press releases, the Members' Area is password-protected, the design is amateurish, the navigation poor, there are broken links everywhere and there appears to be no interactivity. However, if you want to read accommodation information for students in Ireland in six languages, the site of the Union of Students in Ireland is the place to go. And the search engine actually works.

Childnet International is a non-profit organisation working around the world to promote interest among children in international communications, especially new media, and is the organiser of the recent award won by Dublin school Sutton Park (see main article). As well as suggesting ways in which school students can help disadvantaged children in other parts of the world, there is an Internet Safety section written in language accessible to a child.

Although this site consists of only one page, it's a long and fascinating page which is well worth visiting. Created by an Ed Friedlander in the US, it is dedicated to Shakespeare's

(on this year's Leaving), with a scene-byscene summary, hilarious cartoon interpretations, stills from movie versions and excellent links. If study is getting to you and you want some light relief (but also some useful angles), this is for you.

This Leaving Cert preparation site purports to cover maths, chemistry, biology and three languages, but overall it has very little to offer. The maths section contains some "must know" tips for each question, and you can "shop" for study notes and revision courses - one suspects this is the site's raison d'etre. The publishers are planning a Junior Cert version for the autumn, but they have a lot of work to do on the existing one first.
