Because of her unquenchable thirst for knowledge, Maya started out as a librarian. While she loved her job, she wanted to do more to help protect people.
Since Cyber Villains such as Ms. Information and Elvirus can corrupt websites and the information on them, Maya teaches people to protect themselves by using caution when visiting websites and avoiding sites that are not trustworthy.

Using the Web: The Environment
I was talking to Trey about his holiday plans, but all he wanted to talk about was how to make everyone's celebrations green! To be honest, I never even thought about the environmental problems all the lights and fake trees cause. I feel so guilty! I need to make up for this somehow, so here are some Web sites that have some great environmental information:
- Kids For Saving Earth
- Ekko World
- Nature Challenge for Kids
- Kids Planet
- The Green Squad
- The Big Blue Bus
- Climate Change Kids Site
- Kids Saving Energy
- Earth Matters for Kids
- Treehugger

Cyber Terminology: What is Browser Compatibility?
Hello, Cadets! The other day I was trying to watch a web video on albatross migration. When I clicked the link, the video just wouldn't play! I was so upset! Luckily, I always have two web browsers installed on my computer. I tried the link on the other Web site, and it worked perfectly. Weird, huh?
Not really. Although all web browsers are very similar, they each read the hypertext markup language (html) of Web sites a little differently. These small differences can mean the difference between being able to watch the majestic albatross soar across the endless ocean and, well, shouting at your computer. Not that I shouted at my computer, of course.
Anyway, try to keep two browsers up-to-date on your computer. This way, if one fails, you'll always have another option!
