World Book Kids []

1. This website basically allows you to find out anything about the world. I think it's biggest resource is being able to learn about about different countries and compare them. As a whole, however, you can look into science, geography, people, and places. It also provides activities where students can create things and also perform science projects. The information is very quality. You can tell a lot of time and effort went into this website. The information is also very current and up to date. 2. This website is made for kids so it is extremely easy to navigate. It does not overwhelm you with a ton of links, it starts small and allows to do so much. You can either explore, or search for something very particular. 3. I think my favorite part is the activities is supplies. I can teach them so much with the hand on experiments, art projects, ect with this website. When having my students research, I can direct them to a certain umbrella topic and then let them choose from there. 4. I could assign any type of topic and have them get their information from this website. They can easily type this topic in and see information, pictures, ect. I would also encourage them to explore and find things that are interesting to them. Among the resources there is even a dictionary, so if they don't understand a word they can simply type it in.

Library of Congress [|http://www.loc.gov/index.html#] 1. This website provides everything you need to know about American history! Being the library of congress, of course you can expect the information to be quality. The information is historical, but gives current feedback and resources. 2. This site has a lot of information but it is still user friendly. As long as you know the general topic you can find what you need. 3. This site is perfect for reading up on any topic having to do with history. I can also provide great resources like videos, pictures, documents, lesson plans ect. 4. I could easily assign any kind of historical topic to my students and have them explore this site for sources and information.

Soundzabound [] 1. This website is a source to find sounds. You can type in the type of sound you would like to use and it provides you with clips and songs without having to go on i-tunes to purchase it. It allows you to download the songs completely free! 2. This is the easiest of the 3 websites to navigate. You simply type in the kind of music your looking for it gives you a list of search results. 3. This site is perfect for putting the finishing touch on any power point presentation. You can add in special sound effects or even back round music. 4. I would encourage my students to use these sounds for their own presentations as well.
