  While this site offers a lot of information on just about anything you can think of, this is not a credible source. Anyone can change the information on the page.
  
  www.Sparknotes.com
  Even though this site offers a great deal of information summarizing many books, it is a cheat site for students. Students can read the chapter summaries, plot overview, and character analysis to replace actually reading the book.
  
  www.bookrags.com
  This site is similar to SparkNotes.com. It offers study guides and essays that students can gather enough information from to ace a test.
  
  www.youtube.com
  While this can be a great resource, this site offers many videos that are not school appropriate. I don't think students should have access to YouTube at school and should not be allowed to search YouTube videos at school. (They will get distracted!) However, there are some good videos out there so I am not totally against using YouTube at school. Teachers should find an appropriate video and then show it to the students.
  
  www.teachertube.com
  I do not completely dislike this site. Many great educational videos can be found on here. My only complaint is that it is really slow and takes a long time to download videos.
