    Overview The purpose of this site is educational for lower elementary students; its audience is therefore mainly elementary students but also parents and educators as they are the ones who may be interested in exploring the site to discover its usefulness for their children or students. This site contains many educational online interactive games for lower elementary kids that help mostly with reading and mathematics but it also has some other interactive options for other topics relevant to elementary students. Content and design Overall based on the content and design evaluations this site seems to be a good site worth bookmarking at least for use with elementary students. The design makes it visually attractive to the students it is intended for and it makes it easy for them to navigate the site. From observing a kindergarten class navigate the site it was apparent that they were able to go where they were told to with ease and then when they were allowed to explore more on their own they did so with ease.

    Overview The purpose of this site is an online encyclopedia for art meant for anyone interested in finding out more about anything pertaining to art. This site has many options for how you want to search the site such as by the artist name, the medium used, subject, location etc. This site draws information about art from many sources and compiles them so they are in one easy searchable place on the site. Content and design Based on the content and design evaluations of this site it is very well designed and easy to use. It's an online data base for art and so the content all relates to art and is easy to search. This site is not very interactive besides the links you can click to find more information but that doesn't take from the effectiveness of the content. Also the site doesn't provide a lot of information on the author in order to determine the credibility but it is noted that the information comes from a variety of places and is all compiled onto this site.

    Overview The purpose of this site is to be a public online library/digital archive with access to information and images that are public domain. The intended audience is anyone as it is an online library with a search bar that enables anyone to search for what they wish. This site allows visitors to browse through the collections catalog or type in a search into the search bar and it also allows for people/contributors to share their collections after the creators/sponsors of the site review their submission. Content and design This is a good site to use if you know specifically what you are looking for and can search for it in the search bar at the top of the site. Browsing through the collections catalog and exploring other aspects of the site can be slightly difficult to find what you are looking for. Some of the links to information or content the site claims to have don't function correctly. The design of the site could use some improvement because there seems to be no organization on the main page, but overall this site could be a useful place to look for information on a certain topic of interest.
