Overview: The purpose of this site is to educate kids about the U.S. Government. On the home page it asks for a specific audience in which you belong to: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12. My impression of this site is that it is kid oriented, fun and educational to use, and also easy to navigate. It is a Government website and was updated last in May 2010, and then February of 2009. I focused on the 3-5 grader part of the website Content: The content is fun and informational about our Government. The information is cut up into different sections and aspects of the Government, from "Our Nation" to "Symbols of our Country" The content is fact driven but has a high value in my opinion because it also has games and activities. Design: The design of the site is very easy to follow and clearly states everything a student would need to know. The homepage is attractive and cartoon-like so it easily grabs the attention of the younger grades. The site is organized into different sections that are very focused on the different aspects of U.S. Government

Overview: This website is awesome! It makes me want to learn all about the Colonial Times. This website is designed specifically for 3rd graders, very entertaining and kid friendly. I would have my students use this site to gather accurate information about Colonial children, it is super fun but educational, and it is really easy to navigate around. The site is a little older (2000) just because it was made by a class and it was a one time thing. Luckily the information is accurate and the class that created the site actually won an award for it! I could easily contact the creators and there is a sponsor (top left hand corner), it is very clear and precise information. Content: The information in this site is easy to understand because it talks about home life, schools, and clothing of the children during this Colonial time period. The quality of this information is entertainingly informative. The site is very specific and stays focused throughout each page. There are different links in the site that lead you to explanations of different things (clothes, school, home) and then there are links that take you to different activities. All of the content is complete because it was made at one time. I know that the information is accurate because there is a citation page that takes me to different outside websites. If I were to do a project with my class that had to do with Colonial Times I would use this site. Design: The homepage downloads really quickly and it looks awesome and easy for any 3rd grader to use. There is a specific link that is called "Contact Us" so if I as a teacher, had any questions I could easily email them. The about site is an external link but it isn't posted on the home page so it might be a little tricky to find it at first. There are different sections of the web site that are focused and have very clear directions. The class that made the web site made their own videos to demonstrate a task, very cute! Web site is accessible by any

Overview: This site is available to parents and teachers that want to help their student improve in math and reading. I focused primarily on the math aspect of the website. The audience covers kindergartners all the way up to 6th grade. The website has math worksheets for K-6 students that look really fun! The only downside to this site that I found was that you have to pay a membership fee for full use. The "Free" part is where the worksheets come in. All of the worksheets for all of the grades are free. Overall the site was very nicely designed and easy to use. Content: The content of this website was really awesome. Again, it is made as a resource to teachers and/or parents who want to help and encourage their student to engage in math. The quality of information on this site is entertainingly informative! The math work sheets give you specific directions and then are very easy to follow and very fun to complete. I focused more on 3rd grade math, but all of the work sheets looked fun. The site is organized in sections: 1st grade math, 2nd grade math, 3rd grade math....etc. The content of this site was very useful and fun, even though a membership is required for full use. The membership is $9.95 a month. I think it would be well worth it, especially for a teacher. The organization and accessibility of this site was very well done and easy to follow. Design: The homepage downloads very quickly and it is attractive to look at. I can immediately tell where I am and easily find an index. The site provider is very clear to see in the upper left hand corner. The graphics are attractive and play a major role in the engagement of the student (on worksheet). I would highly consider buying a membership and using these worksheets in my classroom (regardless of what grade)
