This webside is the virtual museum located in Hiroshima with many specail exhibits online. Overview: This website is for people of all ages who are studying the effects of the Atomic Bombing on Hiroshima. It includes several special exhibits, including an exhibit on Sadako Sasaki, a famous young girl who died of leukemia from the bombing several years after. This is pretty much a virtual tour of the museum that is in Hiroshima, and is up to date. Content: The content of the site is not really defined. At the top is a welcome banner that says "Let's Look at the Special Exhibits". From here the students will have to brows the different exhibits to use the one that I want them using. There are no authors listed, or a copyright date. Finding the Sadako Exhibit is fairly easy. The links to the exhibits are all working and easy for students to use. There is a link to a list of contributors for this exhibit which is easy to find. Design: The color scheme of the website is a little dull. Once you get into the exhibit there are a lot of good photographs, the text is in bold and easy to read. Links to the displays are very clearly marked. The photographs are all clear.

Oct. 7, 2012 Good information on why the President chose to drop the atomic bombs

This site was in the middle for my liking. It was not the best site when it came to the web design evaluation. I gave it about a seven out of ten. This site did have pretty god information regarding why the President decided to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However, you couldn't find who the author was, and that bothered me. The information is seen in more than one site so I can tell that the author is creditable. I would use this site again but, not as my first choice.
