http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/civilrights-55-65/ All in all, I thought that the website would be perfect for students in a 10th or 11th grade United States history class. The author provided sources for all of her information which made it easy to see where she was getting her facts from, thus increasing her credibility dramatically. The site has not been updated since 1998, however, this is only one small setback on an internet site which is great in every other way. Also, the fact that the author cites quotations from people who witnessed the events of the Civil Rights Movement gives the reader a better idea about what happened during this exciting time in American history.

I thought the website was very beneficial in the aid of promoting diversity in the classroom. It provided very helpful hints and strategies of making both students and teachers aware that the average classroom is full of people with all differing backgrounds. Something I found interesting in the site was a section titled "10 Ways To Fight Hate on Campus". Another aspect of the website that I liked was that it devoted different sections of its site for teachers, parents, teens, and children. Overall, I thought the website was a good learning tool for teachers and students to better understand and promote diversity in a classroom setting.

The website www.kids.gov will be very valuable in the classroom. They have different links for different grade levels of many different subjects. The design of this website is very easy to use. Children are able to go to this website, click on their grade level, and choose a subject area that they want to become more familiar with. Say the child wants to learn more about math, they can merely click on the link titled Math, where it brings them to a page that is full of games and activities involving math. Under each of the grade levels, there are more than 11 different subjects that can be clicked on. Once these are clicked on, there are many links to other sites, games, and activities.

http://www.kidsknowit.com Overall I thought this Website was a useful tool for students and teachers alike. I thought the site was geared more toward younger students particularly at the elementary level. The site was very easy to navigate and was visually appealing. The information presented was fairly accurate but I don’t know if I would use it as my only source of research. There was a wide variety of information on all topics, but because there were multiple contributors to the site, I would want to make sure the information was correct. There were also learning games that seemed to help reinforce content learned in the classroom setting. A teacher could use this site for extra practice for a topic, group projects, or even an independent lesson. Unique games and wasy to use videos for students.
