Here is the hyperlink to this page [|Kennedy Assassination]

This site is a very helpful tool for students.As a student this site provides the student the ablity to be opened minded to differnt views. The Kennedy assassination is a very important event in American History. However it is not a set in stone historical event, there is still many qusetions and contriversies. This website will allow students to view some thoughts on different contraverises.As a teacher this is also a benifit. Teachers should open the eyes of our youth and this website provides helpful tools to provide examples of individuals and locations involed in the assassination of President Kennedy.The limitations of this site is the lack of information. The people and places invloved are only little summaries and the student would have to follow the various links to find extra information.As a teacher I would use this site to brief who the people are in the event. This would help me sturucture my lesson and open to alot of good discussion.

I liked this website. I liked how there were not any advertisements. I thought that this was a well organized website, everything was very easy to find. This website would be great to use in a classroom because it discusses many different things that would not be in most history books, like the single bullet theory and medical evidence, but they remain unbiased. –Robby Everett


 * Civil War . com**

Reviewer: Justin Campbell

Heres my rubrics

Here is the hyperlink to this page [|Civil War]

This site is full of information. Students will be able to learn many things such as all the battles of the Civil War and the many characters involved.This is key to learning because most text books do not provide the detail that this site does. Teachers will be able to open the Civil War up to there students off this website. The learner will be able to find some very important and informative informantion from this site.Some of the downfalls of this site is the advertisements. With all the advertising on this page it makes the viewer believe that the site is more into making money than providing information. The site is also difficult to navigate in some situations. There are many different tabs and links leading to different places. As a teacher is would use this site to guide my lesson plan on the Civil War Unit of my class. I would go to the site to isolate the raw data on battles and the data on the important people of the age.

This looks like a very solid website. It is well-organized and well-designed. It looks like it would be very easy to navigate. It is professional looking. It doesn't appear to have any agenda other than helping people learn, and possibly making money with the advertisements. Apart from those, it is very good. DD

[|The History place-Apollo 11] Comments: ==== The first website I evaluated was called The History Place- Apollo 11. This website is good for any age, but probably best suited for kids’ fifth grade and up. It does not have any advertisement to make it cluttered and is arranged very simple. This website has pictures and descriptions of all of the major events that led up to Apollo 11, the events that happened during the mission, and the events after the mission. One of my favorite things about this website is the sound links. These feature Neil Armstrong when he lands on the moon and President Kennedy talking about the mission. This site also offers many good links that go along with space exploration, and also many different history sites. The only limitations to this website are that it does not have the author’s information or their email contact. This website is definitely good to use in the classroom because it has many pictures and sound links that a teacher would not be able to show his or her students with just a book.====

This website uses a lot of pictures to depict the subject. I greatly enjoyed that. I would be wonderful for younger students to understand who and what things looked like during the landing. The information was not very advanced and extremely detailed. It was also simple to navigate. Older student would be able to use this to get lists of people and times for a report or some other project within the classroom. I also think much can be learned form this site about Apollo 11as a teacher you could uses the photos in class. " J.C."

[|The History Place-The Rise of Hitler] Comments: The second website I evaluated was called The History Place-The Rise of Adolf Hitler. This website is all about the rise of Hitler gives links to all of the major events of his life from being born to World War Two. All the links are clearly marked with dates, and are arranged in chronological order. Many of the links offer interesting pictures. This website would be best suited for students in high school, because there is a lot of information in this one web site. Another thing I liked about this website is it gives you links to other websites about Hitler and World War Two, and also many other history websites. The only limitations of this website are that there is no author listing or email information. Also there are a few advertisements on it. Other than that, I think this website has a lot of valuable information for high school students.

The web page seemed to be full of useful information. I enjoyed the chronological set up.I as a student I would enjoy all the unknown information on this page.I would have to ability to read information about Adolf Hitler that I never knew. The site also has limited problems and seems to be very accurate. "J.C." I like how it is in chronological order. It seems to be unbiased and factual. It would be a good website for a student to use to learn about Hitler, without a doubt. It would be good to use as a supplement for a teacher. DD

Ancient Greece**

Reviewer: Dave Duckett Rubrics: [|Duckett-rubrics.doc]

Hyperlink: [|Ancient Greece]

This site is a good one for students to use to learn about Ancient Greece. It has an extremely wide variety of topics relating to the subject, from the mythology to the geography, even to the art and architecture. These things are all important to the way we live today. It is well-organized without any noticeable bias. It does not fool around with any biases. When there is something covered that is not set in stone, the author of the site makes it known that it is not entirely reliable. It is not at all difficult to find what you are looking for as a teacher or as a student. It is so well-organized and detailed that it could almost function as the teacher itself. It is a high quality website. Maybe I would use it as a supplement to a lecture or as a tool when things are hard to remember.

I really liked this website about Ancient Greece. I thought it was very easy to navigate even though there were a few advertisements. I especially liked the interesting pictures under the architecture part of the website. All of the different subject pages were organized very well. This website would be good for students to use because it is so easy to find valuable information. –Robby Everett


 * American History in the 1920s**

Reviewer; Dave Duckett Rubrics: [|Duckett-rubrics.doc]

Hyperlink: [|History Central :America in the 1920s]

This site supplies a short article on major events that happened all throughout American history. This particular link leads to a site that covers the 1920s. At first glance, it does not look very professional. The web design is shoddy and it is distracting. However, if one is looking for a short overview of a topic, this site actually is pretty good. It is understandable and it seems unbiased. It appears that the author just wanted to make a website where it would be simple to look up events from American history. I might use it as a supplement or a simplifier if kids were confused about a topic. I would not use it as a substitute for a teaching opportunity by any means.
